tary lessons growing y4t Of the war, and
among the Generals conclusions aie tic
following: The men WI, voluntarily en-
lifted at the outbreak Of tie war were tic
best soldiers, better taaa the consc1ilt AID
far better than tie b1ught substitute il
creased monthly wsymcut to soldiers IS more
economical than large b1ua'ies; the great
est mistake Of the way was in raising new
regiments instead Of filing up the vacancies
in the old ones, because 500 men added %
an old and experienced regiment are more
valuable than 600 men in tie form u a
new regiment.
These three features are precisely
those which distinguished tie system adopt
ed by this State. The great mass Of the men
sent to the war by Vermont were volunteers,

The Austrian polar exploring expedition
after two years in the polar regions, has at
last returned with story Of monotonous ad-
venture and scrap oil two Of valuable ne"
information. 1t left Bremen June IL, lSI2'in-
tending to explore the northern coast OF Sioe-
ria. In August they were left of the
coast of Nova Zemba, prOvisioned for three
years. For two years they continued to
drift, rather than sail, in their ice-bound
vessel. In the autumn of 1873 they unex-
pectedly reached a mountainous countFy't"o
hundred nautical miles north Of Nova lem
bla, and off the coast of this new country,
which they named Franz-Joseph Land IN
honor Of the Emperor Of Austria, they spent
the winter-night of 1884. In March and
April 1874, they made series OF diihcu!t
and dangerous sledgejourneys on the IN
known land, reaching As far north as point
which thew named Cape Vienna, in latitude
So. The region is dreary solitude, with
scantv vegetable or animal life. The Their
mometer showed sometimes q temperature
81 : Fahrenheit below zero.
vt last their vessel was disabled by the
crushing and lifting Of the ice; and on the
Goth Of May they abandoned her, and began
journey Of ninety-@ix days in boats and
sleise-. Finally, in latitude Il deg. 40
mil, they lert TIE IA;k-iee behind them'
and ON the 18th Of August, saw the coast Of
Nova Zembla, which they skirted in their
boats on the open sea until picked up, Aug
oath, by Russian schooner, and safely car
ried to a Norwegian port. Their discoveries
show that if the North Pole is to be reached
at ali BY water. the route by Smiths Sound,

1rai.able, if not th, only one.
