THRlLLlNG EXPERIENCES AMONG
THE ARCTIC ICE FIELDS.

The steamer Tigress put iuts Roberts
Bay, near St, Johns, Newfoundland, last
week, having on board nineteen sur.
vivors OF Capt. Halls Arctic expedition.
The adventures and suferiugs Of these
mea almost exceed belief. Capt. Hall
died suddenly of apoplexy on the 9Th
of November, 1871 in latitude 80 49,,
longitude 10 a.. He had recentl,
returned from a northern sledge e1pe-
dition, in which he had attained the
latitude Of S2l6. His steamer, the
Polaris, entered winter quartersiu Sep.
tember, 1871, and left August 18th,
1872, under command Of Capt. Tyson,
for home. A heavy southwest gale
was encountered in latitude 1885, and
the vessel was reported leaking badly.
On the night Of the 18th the Captain
began landing provisions on the ice.-
After almost three hours work the ice
broke into many pieces, aud tho vessel
getting loose from her fastenings was
soon lost in the darkness and storm, q
portion of the crew being on board and
portion on the ice. Since then moth.
ing has been heard from the ship. The
Captain attempted, with that portion of
the crew with him, to reach the shore,
about eight miles distant, dragging tie
provisions, clothing, ammunition, &C.,
over the ice in Two boats. 1t was slow
work. By the FIRST day Of November
they had overcome only about half the
distance. That night a storm broke
up the ice and the party dritted rapid
ly southward. They saw 20 land again
for many days, bad weather continuing.
They built a snow-house and MAJ
themselves as comftrtable a., thew
could. There were ten white men two
Esquimaux, two women and fv. chill.
dren in all. They succeeded iu kiIIino !
few seals, bears and birds, of which |
they wasted neither skins nor entra;ls
They drifted aud lived thus until in the |
LITTER Part Of March, when they we're |
driver to sea by a strong westerly gale.
their floe'piecs 5eiog then reduced
from tive milesin circumference to about |
twenty yards 10 diameter. This. com.
PEELED them to abandon most of their
provisions and take to u byat. Ga the |
3O.t OF April they we're pick d up BY
the steamship Tigress in latitude 81 IS,
longitude S. west, or near Wolf Island,
and about forty miles from land Ali
were tolerably we'll. 10 Que OF the ex-
peditions, sledge party crossed Kane's
polar sea, which they pronounced to be
q strait about fifteen miles wide There
was an appearance of open water 10 the
north.

CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONS.

We find the following IN tho st.
Paul Press. The gentleman referred
to is understood to be Hon. J. @. Bur.
bank, who has just returned 70 St.
Paul from number of months visit IN
California
IA gentleman who has lately re.
turned from Californis, was called up.
on BY knot Of friends yesterday to
express bis opinion of the relative mer.
its Of Minnesota and California rs .
home for men Of limited means or those
engaged in business pursuits. As the
gentleman is abuudsntly qualified BY
experience and observation to give an
Intelligent opinion, and as some views
we're expressed which will prove new
information to the majority of readers,
the substance Of bis observations is giv-
en- below. he remarked iu response to a
question that tho people Of California
had one advantage in the abundance
and oheapuess of fruits, but as for 9TH
er things which ordinarily 90 toward
supplying family or maintaining
household, they can be obtained Is
chesply aud readily in Minnesota as
California. He added, it is . good
State to visit, but As for remaining
there, that is another thing
"He says that the business Of tho
State apparently, aod Of San Francisco
certainly, is under the control Of rings,
and those without sufficient capital to
break within the mystic circle do not
stand a. good a chance of ultimate
success as in Minnesota. There arc
fewer divisions Of society than here
the rings extracting the marrow of
things In one circle Of society, while
the 'Heathen Chinee' seems to be
the controlling and nevertheless vexa.
tious power in the laboring world of
Californis. There is one point, howev-
er, upon which every citizen of the
Golden state-be be ring man or Chi.
naman-can agree heartily and With.
out reservation Of any sort whatever,
and this is the point Every man

problems of the State, and that she
has = popular citizen whose qualiiea'
tioos che asks may be considered in
the selection of Gov. Austin's successor.
1n order to bring the matter more dl.
rsosly before the people Of the State,
We hereby improve the opportunity to
nominate for that position Hon. Viii.
liam D. Washburn, Of this city.
We have been grahfed to SEQ tho
press In different sections of the State
suggesting bis candidacy, and the let.
ters OF inquiry and solicitation, coup
led with the desires of tho Republi.
cans Of this county, which seem to
amount to entire unanimity, have COM
bined to induce Gen. Nashburn to
consent to the use OF his name for that
position.
1t is well known that there have
been, in time past, dissensions among
Republicans in this county that have
prevented anything like harmony 10
their action and that, because Of this
discord, We have been without our due
influence in tho councils of the people.
These disseuslons exist no longer. We
shall henceforth act together.
There are io this city other gentle
meu besides Mr.. Washburn who would
ill the Executive chair with honor 10
the State and with credit to themselves:
Their names have been mentioned By
earnest friends for tho position but
they arc not candidates, aud they do
not desire or intend to be. Gen. WASH
burn is the only man who is in the
field or who is likely to be in the field,
from this part of the State.
In presenting him a. the standard.
bearer Of the Republicans Of Minnesota,
We do not desire to plead local claims.
We might do so, more effectively and
more reasonably than any o.her section
but We prefer to rest our candidate on
bis own personal merits. By al the
I'D settlers o. the State, these are we'll
known and warmly acknowledged !; aud
,. '.ere are few intelligent voters within
our borders who do not know him as .
publio.spirited citizen; ; an earnest and

ated With every great public work Of i'm.

So far as We know the wishes of the
large constituency of the Tribune, he il

10 every county in the State, aad they
propose to do all they can to secure
his acceptance by the State Couven.

The IibaaI Rrpubliran.
DALLAS, SATURDAY OCT.1l
OUR REASONS.

la our last weeks issue we gave some
Of our reasons for supporting Col. Nes-
mith for Congress, and it seems that
the article was the cause Of COM
ment by some of the State papers, y
1nong which was the Sta eSman;
which paper, 1t seems to us, contained
criticisms upon portions of Our article
which were by no means in strict ac>
ctr 'ance with journ listic decorum. BY
what authority the Statesman declares
that, We trying to damn Mr.. Nesmith
we know not. We cannot understand
by what kind of grammatical or common
sense construction, the editor could
torture our article into an effort to
damn Mr.. Nesmith. What kind of
reason would the editor of the States,
man have us give for our support of
Nesmith? would he desire as to say,
that Col. Nesmith while in Congress
made q disloyal record? most certainly,
that would be not only unjust, but
untrue in fact. Our advice and appeal
was made to Republicans in general
and to Liberal Republicans in partieu~
lar, which last named, are well organi>
lied in Polk county, and SO far as we
are informed will vote for Nesmith
in body, and to man What other
reason should or could we have given
10 induce that class Of citizens to sup>
Mr.. Nesmith We did not intend our
appeal.to apply to the few who::claim to be
Of democratic rebel procivities, we do not
nor does Col Nesmith expect that
the few men in Oregon who entertain
those sentiments could be induced to
support HIM. Mr.. Nesmith as we'll as
ourselves, expects that he will be sent
to Congress by the votes Of the loyal ele
ment of the State, not By rebel
sympathizers. We could demonstrate,
this idea in many ways, for instance
not many days since q gentleman
stepped into our Office on business, and
in speaking of the merits and demerits
of the respective candidates for Con-
gress, the gentleman remarked that
she could not support Mr.. Nesmith." !"
Somewhat anxious to understand the
reason, We modestly inquired, and
received about this aDswer.-"Y Y on
know, Sullivan, | am rebel dyed in
the wool?" l have always so regarded
you've replied. sWel sir, 'he continued,
YOU know Mr. Nesmith, while in Con-
gr;.ss did all he could against us, and
when We were in serious trouble, he
would not help US, for this reason c.
d. him | will not support him, mol
will any Of my kind" How could VIC
under such circumstances, do more for
MT Nesmlth than TO show up his lOYaI
record, and make our appeal to loya1
men to stand BY Mr.. Nesmith, and il
possible make good the number OF
rebels who should desert him in this
his second struggle for position, that
would again enable this able statesman tc
take prominent part in the overthrow
of any effort to resurrect the Southern
Confederacy, and Jackson like, strike
down in its incipency, any overt act Of
treason, or attempt at notification
States Supremacy, human slavery OF
reputation. We shall See if the States
man possesses the fortitude to retract its
construction.
