The following interesting letter from Lieu
tenant De Long, commanding the American
Arctic Expedition, has been transmitted to the
United States Navy Department:
GUS. ARCTIC STEAMER JEANETTE,
CAFE SERpzE KAMEN, August 90, 1879.
"This vessel stopped in here this day at 5 p.
M, to endcavor to learn something about the
Swedish Exploring Expedition under the COM
mand of Professor Nordenskjolds. We arrived
at st. Lawrence Bay ON the 25th inst, and
learned from the natives there that a steamer
that had wintered in Knlintchin Bay had come
to st. Lawrence Bay and remained one day.
sailing three months before our arrival from
home by the way Of the Kamschatkan coast.
Her captain was an old man, with a white
beard, and he did not speak English. Two Of
Ulcers on board did speak English, and there
was an officer who was a Russian, who spoke
the Tchanktchi language like a native. With
this officer, who was named Harpish, the ma
tives spoke. and were told the chip was a Swiss
ship, which was going home, having wintered
In kalintchin Bay. We left st. Lawrence Bay
at 7:S0 P. m. August 9th to come here. because
this is the place at which Nordenskjold is last
reported to be, and because 1 was requested by
Mr.. Siblriakof, of st. Petersburg, to leave
papers here for Captain Sengstecke, who COM
mands the steamer N~ordenskioId, now on her
way here from Europe. The officers and men
under my omman are all well, and we expect
to sail tonight for Wrangell Land uia

The Georgia Election.

The election in Georgia was q fierce contest
between two wings of the Democracy.
Georgia is perhaps the most Democratic State
State Convention, ufter a deadlock, adjourned
without a nomination for Governor. Nearly
two-thirds of its members recommended Gov
Colquitt for reelection, while the minority
chose ex-senator Norwood as their candidate.
The campaign has been one of unexplained Bit
terness. Gov. Colquitt has been assailed by his
enemies, both as to his administration and as to
his excellent character. His friends have re-
PEELED the charges as fiercely as they were made.
and so the canvass has been one continued
quarrel, which is now happily ended. The
principle support of Norwood has been in the
towns and cities, while the country districts
have been almost solid for Colquitt. Every eff
fort has been made by both sides to get the
negro vote, but their natural preference has
been for Colquitt. If any distinction can be
made as to the character of the support of the
two candidates, it may be said that Colquitt
represents the liberal and progressive Demo
cracy of the State, and Norwood the old Bour-
bon element. Thousands of dollars have been
| spent all over the State. Both sides have
waged an aggressive campaign, but the Col
quittmen from the start have been assured of
success. Full returns have not yet come in,
but enough is known to show that the heaviest
vote ever polled in Georgia has been polled. 1t
has been the most exciting election ever known
in Georgia, with the heaviest vote ever polled.
Colquitt has swept the State at least by 40, 900
majority.

BEFoGGED.-For several nights on
river steamers have been detained by
dense fogs, rendering travel impossible
during their prevalence. Great have
been the disappointments to that. class
of wayfarers who are fond Of a quicl,
voyage to their place of destination.
True philosophy, however, teaches man
to submit good naturedly to the inevita-
bic. Asan illustration of this virtue we
noticed on our last trip home on the
Cannon, a newly married couple, whose
journey under ordinary circumstances
would have ended by ten o'clock P. NJ,
but owing to the fog, sat patiently the
whole night through on a sofa in thu
ladies' cabin to make sure that the boat
would not miss their landing should the
dctcstable fog disappear. The tableau
was one SO replcte with mcekness and
fortitude that the tender sympathies OF
many of the passengers were deeply
awakened towards the loving couple
who on this occasion forcibly reminded
them Of the beautiful story of Paul
and Virginia.

ReadVilla Seminary.

The Commencement Exercises of the
class of 1879, took place at this institu-
tion, on the last night of the old year,
having been postponed from Junela in
consequence oftheinterruption sustained
by this class during the prevalence of
yellow fever here in 1873.
Five young ladies Miss Mary Thomas,
Miss Emma Morgan, Miss Susie Thiel-
man, Miss Kate Piper and Miss Sophie
Fender, were awarded diplomas by the
Board of Trustees and received as "Mis-
tress of Arts"
The occasion was one Of universal in
terest The essays read by the young
graduates were q credit alike to their
native talent and careful training. The
Independent Silver Cornet Band with
their usuaIcourtcsy and skill interspersed
the exercises with choice selections of
music and were heartily thanked there
for in the name of the young ladies at
the conclusion of the exercises.
OF the vocal and piano music rendered
by the young ladies we were especially
pleased with two songs by Miss Anna
Bulris, former graduate Of Readvilla,
and an instrumental piece rendered with
musical spirit and delicacy by Miss l..
McClelland, Of Tenn.
The degrees were awarded by Prof.
Magruder, the President of the Board Of
Trustees, who, catching inspiration from
the occasion, delivered a brief impronp-
tn address to the young ladies in style
at once so fclicitous and forcible that
none of the distinguished speakers pres
ent could be induced to follow him
though repeatedly called for by the au-
dience. ...
Mrs. Read has added five more stars
to her already brilliant galaxy. The
benefit which she has conferred upon the
people of the South during her already
long life of usefulness here in simply in
calculablc. Long may she live and may
her usefulness ever increase.

The exhibition of Prof. Lippard's
Dancing Academy, last Saturday night,
was one Of the most perfect and beauti-
fnl affairs of the kind 1t has ever been
our good fortune to witness. The Pro
fessors proficiency is we'll known along
the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, but one
cannot fully appreciate his merits until
they see the unmistakable evidences that
flash through the graceful and perfect
movements of his pupils while in the
mazes Of the most difficult dances. This
delightful occasion afforded ample op-
portunity, and all interested parties
were highly gratifed at the manifest
requirements of the boys and girls en-
trusted to his tutorship. The good
wishes Of all will attend the Professor
through all his meanderings, and if the
CAPITOLIAN can add the smallest moiety
to his wave of prosperity, we shall be
more than pleased and gratifed.

"THE STAR ALLIANCE"
THE BEST TROUPE THAT HAS BEEN IN BA-
TON ROUGE FOR YEARS.


TON ROUGE FOR YEARS.
This excellent Troupe of Dramatic
Artistes and Singers have been perform
ing at Pixies Hall since Monday last
before audiences who speak in the high
est terms of praise concerning their rem
dition of Maritana, Chimes of Normandy,
the Prima Donna of o Night, besides
Templeton's own Extravaganza entitled
the Farewell of Aimee, piece that is
pronounced the greatest success, and
other selections that have completely
carried our people by storm.
Where so many in this associa1
ton of artists are deserving of mention
we dislike to individualize. We feel in
duty bound to speak Of the charming
and pretty star cAantense and actress
"Little Fay Templeton," as she is called.
Her fame is already spread over the
country, and she is destined to have a
place among the foremost on the worlds
stage, sustained and supported as she
is by the graceful and viyacious Alice
Vane, whose name alone speaks volumes
for the Troupe.
The want Of space and time alone
prevents rs from mentioning other men
bers of this attractive company, who
are we'll worthy of special notice. As
we are confident that their merits will
be appreciated wherever they go, we
will briefly state that the Temp]etons
present such an array of talent as very
few theatrical organizations have been
enabled to assemble at any one time.
This afternoon Pinaf0re will be repeat
ed at Matinee, and tonight, as their
farewell performance, Prince Napoleon,
or the fatal field in Zululand, will be
presented. @
We hope that on these occasions full
turnout of our public will thus testify
to their appreciation of this artistic
combination.

Festival Of the Earnest Workers" Of St
q James Church.

This Festival was held ut the Harvey
House on Tuesday evening, according
to announcement. The audience hall
and refreshmcnt rooms were tastcfully
decorated, aud the largo attendance in
dicated that something pleasant was
expected. The highest expectations
were more than met. The exercises were
varied and SO arranged and executed
as to increase interest from the begin
ming to tho end. The selections of music
were excellent and well performed.
A marked feature of the occasion was
the address on the mission of the mi
croscopc, by w. Fl. Magruder. Mr.. Ma
gruder was handsomely introduced by
Mr.. Bealo, and the address was a mas
terly ctfort--ornate in diction, clear
strong thought, showing a full acquain-
tance with the field of microscopic re-
search, delivered in q manner which
compelled appreciation and in fine, an
effort which would have done credit to
the best lecture platform in the country.
"The Song of Seven," by Jean Inge-
low, in scenic representation and in re-
citation, was admirably rendered.
The Parody on q scene in Pipafore had
special piquancy hom it's local appro-
priatnness. "a
Then came the refreshments, in which
every one got more than his moneys
worth And last, the dance for the

The U. S. Senate has rejected all
nominations of Census Supervisors
for the eight districts of Ohio. The
reason assigned for this unwarranted
action is an alleged understanding
when the census bill was passed, that
the Democrats were to have one halt
of the Supervisors. The statement
is made that this understanding must
be carried out, otherwise none of the
list will be confirmed. 1t is smother
attempt to bull-doze the President
to COMPEL him to relinquish his con,

stand by his constitutional rights,
even though no census is taken.

specimen of Pendletonian rhetoric.

half of the list. Even more than
one.half would not be objected to.
