JoHNs, N. F., Sept. love have at last positive
and very late of the missing Arctic voyagers.
The Tigress sailed from Upernavik on the 18th of
August, and examined the shores of Northumberland
Island where Tyson and his party reported that they
left the Polaris No trace of the vessel was found
here and sign of life and it is supposed that the
rescued men were mistaken in the locality of their
separation from the vessel. Near Litteton Island,
however, in lat $50 80 N, long. 73o 40 W., we
discovered the camp, Aug. IA. in which the Bud
dington party had wintered. Six Esqui-
maux were living in it, and from them and the
manuscript records left behind by Capt Budding
ton we ascertained the history of the expedition
up to a period only six weeks previous.
After the separation from Tyson, the Po-
laris party constructed house of ship tim
Der and canvas, in which they spent the
risk voyage home, though she stin foated. they
used some of the material in her for the con-
struction of two whale-boats with which they
purposed going south at the first open water On
July they were enabled to carry out their in
tention, and put to sea, probably making
for Cape York. the coast of Greenland, about $50
miles to the southeast where they could hope to
catch whaler bound for Labrador. We kept
sharp lookout all along the coast both going and
turning, but saw no signals and no human beings.
We obtained from the camp all the manuscripts
of the expedition and all the journals. These
records are very long and contain great deal of
valuable information. Buddington's party were all
well when they took to their boats the 1st of
July. The Polaris remained afoat till three weeks
ago. when she parted her moorngs in a gale, drifted
two miles southwest, and sank in the ice. Two
cebergs now cover the wreck. We sail to-day for
Labrador in search of whalers which may have
picked up the missing men. Nine steam-whalers
have gone north and are on the west side. The
Juniata leaves at once for St. Johns, and shall
follow her Immediately if we accomplish the object
Of our voyage. All on board the Tigress are well,
and full Of confidence.

probability is that the Tyson party were mistaken
as to the locality Of their separation from the fo
larls and that it was really Ltleton Island instead
of Northumberland Island It is hardly possible
that after the separation the Poars In her disabled
condition, succeeded in any way in reaching point
60 miles further north. 1t is understood that orders
were sent to Commander Braine to continue the
search for the crew of the Polaris.

u. s. STEAMER JUNIATA, ST. JoHN's, N. F., Sept.
1O.-The Tgress, which we left on the 25th of Au-
gust at Disco brings important intelligence respect
ing the missing Polaris. On the 18th of August,
Commander Greer started with his little vessel for
the locality in which the Polaris was reported to
have been last seen by Tyson's party, between
Northumberland Island and the coast of Greenland.
No trace of her was found here but at Littleton
Island, lat. 7So 23 the Tigress came upon the re-
mains of a camp, and learned that in June Capt
Buddington and his companions had abandoned the
ship and gone southwark with two boats which
they had constructed The Polaris afterward sank.
The men were all well at the time of their depar
ture. The Tigess made q careful search for the
boats, and has been ordered by Commander Braine
TO continue the search to the westward and south
ward. She sailed again from Disco on the 25th and
nothing further has been heard from her,

WORCESTER, Sept 1O.-When the Convention took
a recess at 6 o'clock, with such an overwhelming
vote staring the Butler in the face, there was
the gravest feeling of interest and doubt the faces
of all as they wendell their crowded way out of the

perhaps there was deal of trouble and embarrass-

eccentricities Of their opponent as we'll No one
knew what the evening session would
bring and there were nothing but surmises
during the half hour of recess. The Butler
men had not expected such an overwhelming de-
feat in the matter of the Green resolution but what
ever they might have said they really had no
during the past week or more to doubt their ulti-
mate defeat. 1t was apparent to all that the Wash
burn men had become FESTIVE under the
banterings of Mr.. Butler on trivial
questions this afternoon, and something
of resentment had come to have Judgment in their
thoughts 1t is known indeed, that some resolu-
tons of a severe and somewhat personal character

A Difference Of Opinion.

There is a slight difference Of opinion
between Democrats, North aud South.
The hard.shells of the South insist on
keeping Democracy OIL tho old Calhoun
platform, while their brethren Of tho
North as strongly insist on tearing up
the old panks and replacing them with
timber stolen from the Republican
reservations. To gain new l,aso OF
power Northern Democrats arc willing
to make any sacrifice. 10 support the
family pride, and keep up the pet theory
OF "a white mau's government" South
ern Democrats refuse to yield their old
pro-slavcry principles. The Southern
sentiment is honestly stated in the fol-
lowing extract from the Memphis
