Interesting Dispatches From James Cor

WASHINGTON, December 23,-The State
Department has the following dispatch
from James Gordon Bennett with regard
to the survivors Of the JeannGtte;
PARIS, December %,
"LioH. Frederick FrelinghuyssIl, Secretary Of
STATE, lVdshingiOB'
~ have just received the following tele.
gram from correspondent at st. Peters.
burg concerning the Jeanette party,
General lgnatietf has given orders to send
two new expeditions from Yakoutsk in
search Of the shipwrecked crew, and has
ployed TO find boat No. .. On the 18th OF
September, us has already been told, Mel
vile and ten men were met by three Yakuts,
The fakuts are good.natured nomads,
very skilllul in caring for the disorders and
maladies caused by the cold. The party
could not have fallen into better hands.
II must be remembered, however, that
from Barcher, where they wera discovered,
to Yakutsk, is distance OF 1000 versts, or
l,lOO miles, with no regular means OF
transportation, At least twenty days are
required to get there, but us those who
went 10 the rescue started three days ago,
the time necessary TO find the purity and
bring them back to Yakutsk will be about
two months. Nor should it bC forgotten
that although the whereabouts Of Melville
and his party is pretty well known,
that OF De Long. who sent forward
Nendiman and AIoras out OF his
party Of thirteen, Is not kuown,and that for
the snccoring expedition to reach him will
take long time over the country where
there are no roads, The distance from
YakOutsk to Irkutsk is 2,SlS versIs, or | 900
miles, with hampered postal, which will
require ut least 10 days to transport "a
persons. The Governor ot Takutsk, Gen.
not General TChernaili, OF
SerVia, will receive instructions OF the
government and orders for fresh expedi.
tions in eight day9, by courieB, by the
extraordinary travelling OF $50 miles q day.
There will be no further news then from
the Jeanette party themselves In less than
three months us the telegraph wire docs
not extend beyond Irkutsk. From Irkutsk
to st, Petersburg will take them probably
travelling us rapidly us possible,
although they will probably DO at st,
Petersburg by April and in New York by
May. This is all tho information have
received to date, In case the government
should wish to communicate directly with |
the Jeannette. beg leave 10 say that
General Anouchin, Governor Of Eastern
Siberia, Is now In st. Petersburg but that
his representative during his absence is
General Pedashenski, with whom you can
direct, In case any further
