Proposed Effort to Rescue The Jeanneite.
New York, January 27th.-The Herald
prints letter from Chief Justice Daily to
President Hayes, conveying the resolution of
the American Geographical Society, calling
for Government aid to rescue the Jeannette's
crew. In this letter DAILY says 1.-THE Cor
win is small vessel. She is not fitted to
force her way through floating ice to Wrangel
Land, which Captain Hooper thought, how
ever, could be done by stronger vessel. The
Galena, now at the mediterranean station, is
such vessel. She is a new and strongly
built wooden steamer, and ought to be able,
if properly arranged for the purpose, to carry
about $50 tons of coal. Very little would be
required to do this and adapt her to Arctic
work, and there is sufficient time for her to go
around to the Pacific and to get through
Behring Straits, which is generally open to
the Arctic by the end of june" The Herald
concurs, and adds: "The time, however.
| for taking adequate measures to relieve the
Jeanette is short, especially if it is proposed
to employ the Galena for the purpose. and
bring her around Cape Horn to San Fran
