An Affecting Meeting.

New YORK, September IS.-Chief Eugin

Noros and William NindeFmsnn, survivors o.
the Jeanette Arctic exploring expedition
| and of the party that discovered the dead
bodies of Lieutenant belong and his COM
panions, and Lieutenant Robert NJ. Berry. OF
the burned Arctic exploring steamer Rogers,
arrived to-day. Acting under instructions oil
the Navy Department, Commodore Upshaw
prepared TO receive the brave party with all
honors. On the tug. besides Lieutenant
Jaques, were Alexander Melville, brother
OF the famous engineer; Mrs. Demoresf.
their sister, and Eer two daughters. and
many naval officers; also Captain J. Al.
Wootten, father-in-law of the lamented Lieu
tenant belong. The steamship ParIhia,
bearing Melville and party, was met down
the bay, and as Engineer Melville's broad
and smiling face was discovered by those on
the tug they set up shout, "There's Mel
VILE, God bless him" As.party Of the Par
thla's passengers started the song "Home
Again" and it was taken up ali over the
ship. Melville was soon on board the
United States tug, and made haste 10
the pilothouse, where the ladies of the party
were seated. His sister and nieces were
warmly embraced by him, and everybody IN
the pilothouse wept rs Melville sobbed con-
vulsively and held his sister TO his breast.
He sat Tor few moments with his relatives
and listened to their attempts TO utter words
OF welcome. He patted bis stalwart brother
on the back and affectionately called
him SANDY" Some of the more
active OF the Parthia's passengers had
climbed in the rigging and were
shouting "Give US Melville" Several
held aloft bottles of champagne Engineer
Melville stepped out of the pilothouse and
encountered Captain Wootten, the aged
and grief-stricken father-in-law of the
late Lieutenant belong. Captain Wootten
grasped the engineers hands, and saving ,
something in an undertone, wept like a
child. Melville steadied himself against the
pilothouse, and covering his face with his
hands seemed thoroughly overcome with
emotion. Tears filed the eyes OF all who
this scene, and among the specta-
tors were many OF the Parthia's passengers.
When they had dried their eyes some one on
the steamship proposed three cheers for
and the response was enthusiastic
and emphatic.
Nindermann and Noros, the seamen who
were with Melville, seemed anxious to
escape observation.

joint Republican gubernatorial party spok,
their usual speeches here to-day. They
were left TO make their own way to the
courthouse, where they found exactly sixty.
nine men, which number was not increased
during their three hours speaking. The
affair was, perhaps, as signal a failure az
ever overlook any canvassing party in the
State. 1t is said by good authority that
there is only one RUSSELL man in Morgan
county. There Ore some Republican Green
hackers here who will support Beasley in
preference TO Hawkins upon his sixty-aud-
six platform. There are no Democratic
Greenbackers in the county. There were
only six Democrats present One of these
will vote for F1ssell. He edits the CHna5er-
land Plateau in some peculiar manner, with
cut Subscribers, to fortune and to fame I'M
known. Beasley will, perhaps, get 100 votes
in all the places he has visited, taken together
from Bristol 10 Wartburg. Fully seventy. five
of these will be out of the Republican party,
who cannot stand the sixty-and-six platform.
Fossell has a new sophistry concerning what
boiling means. Boiling, he says, means
C hanging principles and not changing par
ties. RUSSELL says the State-debt proper is
over $4,000, 900; that the Bate platform in
the aggregate amounts to ST 100000 more
than his. Russell says some Of the railroad
bonds cost S1050, and that such bonds are
owned in Knoxville. When Fussell finished
his speech there were only thirty-nIne men
in the room, and that number continued 10 |

he extent of 100 per cent. in Morgan county.
While RUSSELL was speaking a bobtailed |

the Indian Cavalry Brigade, has reached Is
malta from Suez TO confer with Sir Garnet.
He made the journey on horseback, accom-
panied by troop of the Thirteenth Bengal
Lancers, and did the hundred odd miles in a
couple of days. Such forced march across
desert under an August sun proves that
the Indian cavalry contingent is full of en-
durance and CO. This brigade must prove
most welcome addition to Sir Garnet's
