THE MISSING JEANNETTE.

Nearly eighteen months ago, Mr..
Bennett, of the New York Herald. fit
ted ont at his own expense an expedi.
ton to the Arctic seas. The steamer
Jeanette sailed away for the North
Pole, with brave officer of the navy,
Commander Dc Long, in charge of a
picked crew, For sixteen months no
tidings have come from the absent
vessel, and naturally enough great
anxiety is beginning to bo felt concern.
ing her safety. Chief Justice DAILY.
President of the American Geograp6i
cal Society, has addressed letter to
Mr.. Hayes, calling attention to the
delay in hearing from the Jeanette
and asking, that should nothing be
heard from her by July next, that n
search expedition, equipped by the
Government, be in readiness TO 90 10
the Arctic seas for information con.
cerning the vessel and her crew. rhe
Herald says The Jeanette went into
4 part Of the Arctic Ocean which was
almost unknown to explorers, and the
course she was ordered to take had
never been essayed by any ship. The
most accomplished polar voyagers, in
their recent attempts to locate her
present position, have confessed their
ignorance OF the ice conditions. the
ocean currents and the prevailing
winds north Of Wrangle Land. and
consequently the impossibility of dc.
tining the route her commander was
constrained to select in his attempts TO
reach the Pole. II is not remarkable.
therefore that the absence of any It'd.
ings from her after being sixteen.
months in the icy sea, should awaken
deep solicitude for the gallant band of
American naval officers, seamen, and
civilians who manned the Jeanette.
