'ast re/ n 8 The Grinoell Senrc „  The narrative of the G'iune?l exprd tion in search of Sir Jolin Franklin has at length made its appearance. It is Uvo years and a half since the expedition returned from Its'adventurous voyage ; but the story or the peHls it underwent can never lose its interest. It is fitting that an er.tefbHiie go nobly conceived and daringly executed should be properly comniemora ted ; anif Dr. Kami has performed the du ties of its historian in an admirable man, tier. No one can. read his narrative w ithout a thrill of adniiration for the generous spirit which led to this gallant crusade ugainSflhe polar ice. We do not hesitate to say, that this beautiful volume, with its profuse illustrations, furnishes the rno«t vivid and interesting account that has yet been given to ilia public, of the perils of Arctic navigation. The last sheets of the mnnuscript- had scarcely left the author's hands, when he act nut in command of the second expedition fitted out by Mr. Grin neM. The ftrst volume that wan ready for piiblc.ition was dwrtro,eJ at the fire which consumed the establishment of the publish era. Fortunately, the stereotyped plates had been deposited in a place of safety, and tho work could be reproduced, so that the pi ivate lo*8 w as prevealed from becoming » publio calamity. Tho expedition consisted ol two small brigs, the Advance, of 114 tons, and the Rescue, of 00, completely fitted out by the munificence of the New York merchant from whom the enterprise takes its name. It set sail from New York on the 23rd ol Mav, 1850. Ten days before, while ba:h ing in the waters ol thf Gulf of Mexico, Dr. K«ne received an order to j Din the expedition. In a week the overland jouriiev of 7,300 miles to New York was accomp i-bed ; n part of a day was spent there inmtiking a lew necrnary preparations for the voyage ; and in two days more the vessels were bevond the boundary of the United States. A month brought them to the shores of Greenland, alonst which they coasted in order to gain the open water lying tttfrfh of the great iC!e.pacl; in Lancaster sound ; their immediate object being to reach the waters w hith open into Bufnn's Rny from the northwest. In passing the '•Dovil's Nip," at the Whalers call the mouth of Melville Hay, they were caught in the Ice, and five weoksof precious time, when hours were of the utmost importance to- the succcss of the -expedition, were spent In gaining a distance of three hundred miles. ion- which seemed to render escape Impossible. On ono occasion a great mass forced its way directly upon the vessel's stern, which it approached so near that a man could scarcely pass between. One half minute more of advance, and no human power1 could hove saved the vessel and crew.-— Those few inches of distance was the sole, thing that intgrvensd between them and death. The space was not passed ; the mass of ice tvas checked, and soon froze fast close upon their stern, where it remained for five months, a solemn memorial' of th*ir danger atid iheir deliverance— Scenes of this kind were o( perpetual occurrence ; fretfh dangers arose every hour; I lie crew wete kept in constant training, lor abandoning the vessel at any moment and trusting themselves toHlie ice, ia the almost desperate hope of reaching ,lhesliore over the floating masses.

It is about the same tract which is now recognised under the general name of Nebraska. For, there are twd distinct uses and meanings attached to 'that word. THe (ir*t Nebraska bill, introduced if) the early part of January, by Senator Douglas, under the proposed Nebraska Territory ineluded ail that fpace lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Missouri River, and between the British Possessions end the 30 80th parallel of latitude, which is not within the limits of New Mexico; that is, the southern boundry 'vat to be a line drawn directly west from the southwest corner of Missouri, till it strikes the New Mexican line, thence north to the S8ih parallel, and thence west ot the Elighlands of the Rocky Mountains. But this allow, ed room for the opposition of Sons tors who wore anxi Dus to escape the dirfebt issue of the question, on plea of the rights of the Indians to a large portion of that territory. So, about a week afterwards, the Commit, lee, for which Mr. Douglas spoke, brought it in so amended us to create two territories instead of one, and having not embraced within cither so much ol iho original Indian Territory as lay between the 30 and :i(»lh and 37lh parallels of latitude. Uuder ilii* amendment ihe of Kansas occupies 'he jmrtion between the 37th and 40th parallels, while Nebraska rmbra. cos Hie remainder. Inasmuch, however, as there are no different provisions made tor the government of ihe two Territories, it is common to speak of Nebraska tDs embracing the wholeregipn. And how extended Is this A«Dct t Tak* your boy's school map, reader, and mark lis boundaries. It reaches from Texas to the British Possessions, and from the Western border of our Civilized settlements, to the snowy line, which through Summer and Winter, marks -the course of tho Rocky Mountains. It is the central portion of the whole property of the United States; The Platte or Nebraska River rising in the Rocky Mountains, runs tluqugh us ul-.o'e extent eastward to the Missouri. They say that it is not naviga. ble to steamers for more than 40 miles from its mouth, though it has a width ot from one to three niiiefc. Most ol i s witters are drained through tie Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico. But Irom its mountain peaks other rills rush downward through the Great Lakes and the St. Lswrenco to the Northern Ocean.— While from the some peaks are others that pour through the Columbia lo the North Pacific, others through the great Colorado ot the West, into tho Gulf ot California, and others Mill, that empty into ihe Great Basin. As to the character of its soil, and its natural resources, we have almost everything yet to learn. The notej of Fremoni and the few other travelers who have crossed it, are the meagre les sons so far afforded us. Some have liken ed it to Eden for beauty, saying thai in large portions of it. the land is of the richest quality, and capable of the highest production without being exhausted. But we know that the Great Desert is included in its limitr, and doub'less it is as v ried with barrenness and fertility as wo would presume it tc be from the variety of mountain and valley mappeil in it. Gentleman looking at it irom an extreme Souihern aspect, assure us that it must always remain an ngricultural|country- The products of the farm will always be abundant jhere, but thai for lack of the natural channels of communication, every other department of -industry will languish—a point which, desirable it may seem in one of its political relations, stands In particular need o) confirmation. The area comprised is noi less than 480,000 6quaro miles. Fifty Ma»sa chuset'8 might be pluc-d side by ride, and occupy no more space than it. Ten  of tho size of New.York might be carved out of it. The Thirteen Stales which originally constituted our confederation were not as large as this immense region ; and it is not less than the whole of France, Spain and Italy together. It comprises not much less than the fix Now England Slates, the four Middle Slates, Virginia, the two Carolinas, Ohio. Kentucky and- Tennessee together. It is nearly twice as large as the two Territories of Oregon atjd Washington. The whole of our great lakes could lie within ft and have ample room for as many more without interfer. ence. If it were all sunk, the sea that would settle over it would need but a narrow bttrdcr lo make it as large as the Gulf of Mexico. It must he possessed of every climate enjoy/d in any of '.lie existing Free States, for its Southern line is almut ihe same as the Southern line Of Virginia; and its Northern, when potracted East, ward, interjects the frosty cliffs ot NewfoundlandIn viettr of its site and geographical Importance, we think the p?ojlle may be par. doned for making that a fs'se prophesy of Senator Douglas, which,. aNofltt the first of February, he saying that tha bill wotild be ibjoughMhe Senate in a week.

Even though llie Job is not bttter done than if perforiperl by on inferior workman, there is a comfort in knowing I hat nobody could have done it bettor. Bifl to pay double prices for blunderer's woik, and let experts starve at hulf price, this is grievous to humanity, and not very creditable to our good sense. But ft is exactly •o that we treat ferrates. Once Hwre wff u'ter our protest against fhe ungiillant, un. just, and irrational distinction, nude to their disadvantage.

But that When other tilings are entirely equal, sex should fnake a difference of 50 per cent in the vfcdgrA earned, isabsutd to the ear of reason, and wicked In the eve of justice.— " Tht laborer U icorlhy oj his hire," says the Scripture—unless the laborer is a wb man, ana Wen'shw I* «»niy luilf of it says the felfct of some heathettish policy We eannot teDil the difference between th*; result of her menual labor and hi*. The fabric woven by her hand is as fine and as substantial as his. fler fingers direct the needle more carctolly than his. Her hand is softer to Vb«*«nsitivo invalid. Along the paths of solid learning she passes at a more lively gait. In the fields of poetry and art she gathers as choice a garland. Her sphere is different but its diameter is 110 smarter. The cllclc of her duties is no more contracted. She does as much good in her generation. Nut as many follow hD-r to th* grave, but m Dre weep at her do parture. In wlixt is her lalnr of less value titan the- man's? In tact—in sprighiliness — n ruling wihoJt seeming to—she is greatly min's sipe'ior. U-r lime is worth as much ; what respectable reason is there why she should not he paid as much for it? Far distant be the day when those unwo. manly demands which brazen Amazons claim ns their nchts shall be imposed upon the sex. A Far distant belAe hour when American women shall put on coarse habits of coarse men, and from the elegont and matronly retirement of their nursery, dairy, or par. lor, descend to bendy words with fbnlmou'hed politicians, or in any sense to enter the ring with gladiators. But the ruddy light or a better day, fbr those of the sex whose necessities doily quarrel with their tastes, is playing in the east. The lime is soon coming, we cannot doubt, when, if a woman must work outside of the family, she shall be paid for it ; when, if a fatherless girl must breast the rude world's billows to get the means ol support fcr a family, a day's labor shall not yield so small a fraction of the year's expenses that it is wearisome to count enonsih of ihem to make the unit; when scores of sorts of labor which no# are monopolized by effeminate nun shall be hers; when positions that requiie more taste than energy, and more taot ihan muscular strength shall be filled by females. And in that good lime coming, a lady shall have as much for the proi'ormance of a job as a man, even if she does not do it a great deal better than he.—JV«o York Daily Timet. ice. All tliif, it must be borne In mind, took place ddriiig the unbroken! night of aa Arctic winter. To the constant pertly asd1 lite perpetual infernal noise of the ioe crushing and grating, and bursting around was added the horror of unbroken gloom. It was u perpetual twilight. For months the faintest approach to light was a faint rosy streak jnsf crowning the southern horizon. For eighty six tiiTes twepty.lotfr hours, the sun never once rose above the horizon. "Never," says Dr. Kane, in recording the joy caused by* the re-appearance oT the great luminary, -'Never, until, the araveclod or the ice covers me, may f forego tip's blessing of blessings again." For weeks after they were frozen fasti they were unable to make any adequate pt'ovisim against the cold. It was noif till' the the'rmometer without hud fallen to twenty degrees below zero, that they were able to set up«to.ves in the cabin ; the only artificial heat in ihe.r power was derived from smoky lamps, which could raise the temperature only a little above the freesing point. The cold, however, was less insupportable than the constant dripping from every timber, produced by the condensation of the moisture of the almost phere.

This conjecture proved to have bei'n well founded, for just at the month of the channel thev fouud remains showing that the veteran navigator hud winterod there four year* before. Since that time not the faintest traces of his fate have been discovered, and every day adds weight to the probability that no traces of him will ever come op from those icy seas. He had apparently sailed up the channel so hastily as not to leave behind him ihe slightest* record of his intended route. But the Searching Expedition vainly attempted to lol'ow upon his supported route. The Channel was closed by a barrbr of ice as impassible to ihfc vessels as the granite ranges which girdle a continent. The month of August ' ad now passed, the brief Arctic summer had come to an end, and Winter was beginning to set in at an unusually early period; All hope of further prosecuting the search fur that season was at an end. and it was decided to return to the United States. But this was soon pot beyond their power. On Ihe 14th of September, the vessels, wiih sails set, ceased to make their way through the ice which was rapidly forming around them. They were soon frozen into a moving island of ice, and left to drift helplessly to and fro at the mercy of the wiuds and currents. PITTiTOI Dagurrrcan Gallery.

The early education of the daughter ought to be more lhorou£ht deeper, clearer, sounder, more extensive, and better than the education of the son; because Hie daughter, early in lite, becomes a wife and mother, retires from the world to her own peculiar empire—Iter home. The son, if not thoroughly educated for his calling at first, is compelled by circumstance—by the world all around him—by rivals in business-—by his own shame and emulation, to educate him«elt. Indeed, he is always learning somf thing, cither by good or bad lock, usetul for him to know. It is not so with the duu»hter, who must learn in early lite or never learn.
