She wanted for nothing. All that art and science could provide was furnished, and she set sail under a greater variety of auapioioui eireumslauccs than perhaps ever blonscd tbe start of any similar enterprise. Sad to say, she may never return, and tho work she undertook to do must be tried ovor agnin.

Tbe Herald correspondent, who was ono of tbo firm to learn the important intelligence, Immediately stnrted to Bay Roberts to learn thu full psrliou lars. Tbe Tigress was at anchor and tho rescued men wero asaembled on deck. They furnished tbe Herald correspondent wilh Ibo DEEPLY TI1RILLINO NARRATIVE of the adventures of the expedition, the death of Captain Hall and tbe final escape of tho survivors, who were taken off from an Iceberg by tbe Tigress on tbe SOtb of April lust, in latitude 53 80, after having spent 196 days on tbe floe, iho lollowing ure the names of the rescued : II C.

Two woro loat in a north or n expedition, two were land cd on tho ice with Captain Tyson's partv. one was burnt us firowood to make water lor the crow, and tbeotb cr is On board the TiirresS. ' The Polaris was in command of Captain Buddington, who had thirteen of a crow along with him, and a plen tiful stock of provisions. ' ' .

Ifcr bow was somewhat damaged, and It is tbe opinion of the survivors they will be unable to get clear until July, and even then, if the ship is un sosworlby, they should have to tnako new boats to etlect an escape. . DEATH OF THE HEROIC UAIX. On the 8th of October, 1871, In lati tude 81 88, longitude 61 44, Captain llall died of apoplexy, and was buried on shore, where they erected a wooden cross to mark his grave. lie bad recently roturned from a northorn eledore expedition, in which he bad at tainmi tbo latitude of 82 18. lie eemed in his usual health, and bad callod tbo crew Into the cabin to en- courago thorn with bones of future ro- warda and stimulate them to renewed exertion when he wss suddenly struck dowu and expired, to tbe great grief . . 1 In ftlmm It hull endeared himself by bis kindness and dcvoiion. ' ADVENTURES OF THE BUKVIVOIU. In September, 1871, tho Polaris en tered w inter quarters, and left August 12, 1872. The loe waa very heavy, and sot in a southern direction. Sho was lor.icd south, and so conlinuea drilling till Captflin Tyson aod party wore driven truin tier. The sledge party crossed Kane's Polar Sea, which they pronounced to bo a strait about flfteon miles wide. There was an appearance pf open water to the north. Tbe rescued party suffered very much during their dreary drift from hunger and cold. For the last two months they ate raw seal and polar boar as tbey could got it. When . i ' ' ME? R" H TIORESS " ' they showed evident signs of their great sufferings, but during tbe pine days they have been on 'board they have improved vastly and are now in fair health. The party is In charge of th United Stales Consul and will I arrive In St. Johns On Monday next. ' MEN. ' STATEMENT Of OAPTAIN TTSON. Tbe following statement was fur nlabed the Herald correspondent by Csjptaln Tyson! " ' - ' ' On the 24th of August, 1871, w left TessinsBok and wont through Smith's Soarid. Ws succeeded in getting as far north as latitude 82 10, when we retarned and wintered at Polaris Bay, latitude 61 44. ' We were t'rosen up mill the 6th of September. - On tbe lvlh of October Captain Hall startod oi sledge journey north, and re turned on the 24th, when he was taken aijk, and died on the 8lb of November, lis was buried on tho lllh. The at tool, that carried him off was said to bea'Kiplexy. We passed the Winter St Polaris Bay- On the Mb of June, 1872, we attempted to reach the north with two boats. Wo hauled our other boat on shore and returned overland on tbe 8tb of July. We started for home on 'lie 12th of August, and on tbe 15th were besot with ice In lati tude 80 02 We drifted from there down to latitude 77 85, when wo en countered' heavy aothwest gnlo, the ship being undor heavy pressure. On the night ot the 15th we commenced landing provisions, &o , on the ice, THE VESSEL BEING REPORTED LEAKINO very badly at timoa. . We continued landing provisions for two or three boars, when the pressure ceasod. ' 1 went on board tbe vessel and asked the sailing mastor if the vessel was making any more water inan usual, lie reported that she was not. I then went to the pumps snd ascertained that she was not' making any more than she was doing all summer. " BREAKINO OF TIIR ICE.' ' ' 1 wont on the ice njritin and shortly after it began to Crack, and in a few minutes ufterwards broke in many pieces. The vessel broke from her fastening and was soon , . , 4 LOST TO SIOUT IN THE DARKNESS AND i , STORM. . . ; On tbe broken ice wero most of our provisions to sustai o the party through the Winter, and seeing nothing of the vessel, we attempted lo reach the shore, in hopes of finding natives lo assist us in living through tbo Winter. Getting about half way lo tho shore with our heavily laden ooais, our progress became hard by the drifting Ice and I was compelled to haul on the ice again. ' . . ' , PROVISIONS SAVED. - At this timo I succeeded in saving fourteen cans of pemtnican, eleven and a half bags oi broad, ton dozen one and two pound cans of meat and soup, Itiurlcen hams, one small bag of cho colate, weighing twenty pouuds; some ber of riDea and abundant ammuni tion. In tbe morning, knowing that I bad , ... . , , NOT PROVISIONS ENOUGH and other articles of food, clothing, compasses. Ac. on the abatement ol the irale I endeavored to shoot many seals as possible, both for food, light snd fuel, but could only get throe, owing lo bad weather having set in. I supposod the wind, ta be about southwest. On its clearing up 1 iound mysolf within about eight miles of .what I supposed to be the east coast, and about thirty or forty miles below the ship. The ice being weak 1 could not transport boats and provision! to land until it grew strong er. While here I discovered my other boat, bread, so , and saved all. I ue ICE OREW FIRM. I made another attempt to reach the shore, carrying everything In the boats and dratririnff them on their keel. The ice beingexceedingly rough wa stove bo'.h boats. We succeeded on the tbe 1st of November in getting about ' BALE WAT TOIHORB. I ' . Night came on ns and very stormy weather. ' In the morning the loe waa brekon and wo were drilling south ward very fast. We saw no more land for many days, bad weather con tinuing all through the month ol No vember. We built snow houses and made ourselves as comfortable as we conld. We were ten white men, two Esquimaux, two women and five child ren in all. We succeeded in killing a few -seals, which furnished us with light and fuel wilh which to warm our scanty allowance of food tbroagb the darkness of tbe Arctic Winter. I the latter part ol February we lived principally upon birds, and in March commencod to catch seals. Through that month we supported ourselves on BEARS' AND SEALS FLESH, wasting neither skin nor enlraila. We uollcoted enoufli food in this way ta last us until tbe middle of May, bad we not been driven to sea by a strong westerly gale in tbe latter part ol March, our floe piece boins then re duced from five miles in oircumferenoe to about twenty yards in diameter. We loll tho pioue on we ist oi apru, and abandoned nearly all of our moat, a lurira amonnt ol ammunition, cloth ing, akiits and other articles, taking a portion ot too meai in vno uum,,wun.u wo wero obliucd lo throw overboard on account efthe boats being so deep i 'J I regained THE OUTER F.DOE OF THE PACK nf iua on the 8d of April, and succeed ed in getting a little farther in on tbe pack. On the 4ih a bcavy northeast galo sot in, a heavy sea running under tho ice, wbich broke it in small pieces, so tbat we had to live on small pans, aa we oou Id not put the boat out, neither could wo find seals lor looa, and we woro ; . REDUCED ALMOST TO STARVATION. On tho 81st of April ws sighted a polar bear. Every person wee ordered to lie down and imitate tbe seal, while the tarn Kanulmuux aecreled them selves behind a piece of Ice, enlioeing tha baar nana anouirh to US 10 kill him.

The piece of ice I was on commenced' drifting southward as tho wind hauled to the northeast, opening a little bay to the northeast oi Northumberland Island I saw the vessel In the harbor there; ber sails were furled, no smoke was issuing from her smokestack that 1 could see. 1 then attempted to bring my boats across the floe in an easterly direction, I '; ' ' ' ; norma to find water and reooh the shore.:.

I saw a vessel under steam and canvas rounding a point to the northwest. Tninking she would come to our relief I gave myself no extra anxiety, but soon we were doomed to disappointment, and, Irom that lime until the Tigress res cued us, wo never got a glimpse of the rolaris. " Water and Disease. : Water, the most abundant and tbe most esseolial for living beings of any thing in nature, excepting atmospheric air, Is a oonijiwuua a uiie aatvouctu ua hydrogen, and one of oxygen, or by rr.eaSMrsof two volumes ot hydrogen to one oi oxygen, having a formula ol 110, and is therefore a protoxide of hydrogen. Water constitute about lliree-lourths of tbe surface of tbo earth, and by far the greater part of tbe body ol men ana also 01 vegeta bles, and as its character manifest a decided influence upon the human frame, we should not hesitate to give it proper consideration. Water is never found in nature in a state of ab solute purity, but contains according to the source from whence it is derived, certain subalanues disolvcd in it, and microscopic organisms, often unfitting it for domastie use. . Tbe only waters not Including tbe mineral waters fit for drinking purposes, are rain wa tor, river water, and spring or well wator, and even these sometimes con lain impurities attracted from the at mosphere, or contaminated with earth, the sewerage of cities, and with decay, ing animal and vegetable remains, or perhaps imprognateu wun aoiuoie muleriuls, sujd as lime anu tae oniur ides from lb strata through which they pass, rendering jthem fontirely n til lor tho ordinary purposes oi tue. Rain water, when freed Irom the iov purilios attracted from the atmosphere tnrougn wnico iv iiis, is wwouv, ui. and colorless, and ia better adapted than all othors to promote health. Hivcr water is that wnicU is generally supplied to cities, and although it may be generally oi goou quality, yet autr heavy rains or tbo meltiug oi ice snd snow, is often loaded wilh eauhly matters and other impurities render ing it noxious to health, unless filtered from these impurities, oiugnana wa ter, and that ot marsues, uiicnes, canals and ponds, are, from the amount ot orgunio mutter and other impurities whicn muy noia in solution, uum iyi drinking purposos. lheso impurities may ue gaseous, maisriai, aecuinus ing vegetublo or animal remains, in fusoria, alga or fungi, and water In which such matters are louna reiiunv becomes putrescent and is most injuri ous to health. The earthy matters ore aoabundsntin someol our western riv er wslcrasa to invariably produce diar rhoea in llioeo unncoustomed lo inoir use, while the waters of the Missis sippi, (be Missouri, tbe Kansas and the Rio Grande, causo gastro-Kntcrltic discuses, continuing for many weeks, and often terminating in ulceration and death. Indeed, there wore more deaths from this causo In the Western armies during the Robollion than from all oilier disoasos, and as an instance the reports of the "Joe Iloll U. S. A. General Hospital. Louisville, Ky., nn- dcr my charge, show that irom June IStii to June ison, mere were nuraii led into this honpital 4941 patients of which 1430 were gunshot wounds. We had during the year 143 deaths, of wbich 72 died from ehronio diarrhoea. And after years of cartful investiga lion 1 tind scarcely an Instance on record of endomio attacks of gastro Enterilio disease, Typhoid lever, Ty-pbo-Malariol lever, or cholera occur ring in public Institutions, boarding sohools, farm bouses, vlllsgos and towns in wbich lbs disease was not traced directly to contaminated drink ing water. 1 do admit that occasion, ally snoradio cases of almost any dis ease may occur, but I do assart it aaa fact, that general attacks of these dis eases do not prevail until the drinking water as oonuminated with th swer. ag of th placer, with decomposing animal and vegetable remains, or with lb dejecta of man and brnlos. During th pruvalaooo of tbo ouoi- TEEMS $2 per annum , in Advance. ,NEW SERIES-VOL 14, NO. 2L era in London In 185-1, the water sop. nlierl to the oltv was examined micro scopically j and the report was, "tbat there is no wsior suppuoa to ine me tropofis that does not contain dead ana living organio mattor, both ani mal and vegetable." it was louna that some of the water furnished to tho oitv was mors free from such sub stances tban others, and tbat those districts lurnishod wilh th purer wa ter had butcomparalively few deaths. Dr. Ackland, oi London, says that in 1832, th parish ot bt.

The city jail had good wa ter supplied, while tbe water of tbe county jail was pumped from filthy pond within ten leet irom on oi me drains. Upon obtaining water from another source the cholera disappear ed. It ia now an established opinion aroonj; those best acquainted with tbe diseaei that erory outburst oi cnoieru beyond tbe coafinea of British India, may be traced back to llindostan through n continuous chain of human beings effected with the disease, or through water contaminated, or arti cle aoiled with their dejecta. The native villages and towns of Britieh India abound in Kreen, slimy, stagnant ponds, full of puirid vegelabloand an nimul matters in a staU of decomposi tion, whose bubbling surfaces exhale noxious gasos, poisoning the air and spreading around disease and death. From timo to lime frequent heavy downpours of rain flood tbe towns, washing fresh cholera dejecta, wilh all manner of iiupuritios from the sur rounding filthy soil into these ponds, which supply th drinking water. But th great birth place of cholera appears to be the city, and the seat of the Supreme Government oi British India Calcutta, with a native popula tion of 800,000 souls, planed in the burning plain of Bengal, on the largesl delta in the world, surrounded by marsbos and jungles, and one hundred miles from the salt brceae of tbe sea. Tbe llooghly. river, an arm of the Ganges, supplies the city with wator into which ihe great sewers open directly upou its soft, muddy banks, and night soil at the rate of one kiinrlpDil and nirrtv tons a dav is de posited, converting a harbor of refuge in. pout nf ali--lmfau anft t h river nf tho great city into tbe malealrom of doalh. From this great centre for the origiu aud distribution of cholera, situated upou tbe eastern coast of llindostan, Bayard Taylor found the roads swarming will! pilgrims, and one afternoon bo pasted thousands, each and every one currying his two jars of Ganges wa,ter lo hi far dis tant homo.- Tboae who are attacked wilh cholera on the road generally alagger on until tbey get near some well or tsnk, from wbich to quench their thirst, and as they recover, wadu into the tank up lo Ihe middlu, laKe off and wash their iarnieols soiled wilh cholera dejecta, then puss on, and immediately some man or woman may be seen not far off filling an ear'.ben jar, or skin full ot tho con taminated waters for domestic pur poses. Thus the disease soon reaches Bombay, upon the western ooast of llindostan, then up the reman uuu, machine the Caspian, lilauK and Uedi terranean seas, and soon afterwards the oeiuhborina countries ol Europe. Tho cholera of 1831 was carried by pilgrims and the Russian caravan trade 10 Centrul Asia, thence to liuasia.irom Russia it soon reached Berlin, 11am burtr and London. It was carried from London to Ireland, and in the snrinir of 1832. it was carried by emi grants from Ireland to Canada, and down the St. .Lawrence river in uaae Erie and Ontario, thence to the United Slates. The cholera of 1811-44, alao was carried from British India to Russia, by way of Persia, thence to Austria. Central Europe and France to be soon carried from Ilavre to New Orloans,aiid thence up the Mississippi river. Wbilo it is generslly bolioved that it requires, tbo poison of cholera to be brought into contact with Ibe lining metnbrsno of tho alimentary canal to produce the disease, and that this is generally effected by Contami nated water, many believe that cholera dejecta mav be cast upon lb dry ground under a tropical sun, and no rain occurring, high wind may arise, driving cloBtFs of cholera ' dust here and ' there, communicating disease, while washcr-woinon also engaged wilh the soiled clothes of cholera patients, may contract the d.scase from tho cholera dual disseminated in the sir lodging in their mouth and noses, and ullimutciy oeing swaucwoa down wilh tbo saliva food and drink. AlcLXi'RO. A Leaf From Modoo History. A corrosnondont of th New York Tribune, who wa living in th vicin ity of th Lava Beds at the time, and was personally conversant with the facts wbich ho narrates, makes public a scrap of history which, if it is true, and cannot oe uisproveo, ouguv cer tainly not to be forgotten just at thia time. The indignation of the nation at the massacre of Gen. Can by snd bis companions, whilu attending a peace conference with th Modocs, is most just and natural j but waa equal indignation, or any indignation, ex pressed when, in 1852, forty Indians of this tribe, including their chief, wereaimilarly murdered by the whiles, wbilo galhorod at a pcaoe oonforenoe to which Caplain Wright had Invited them f It evidently make a vast dif ference with ut Who are the murder ers and who the victims. Th present Modoo chief ha remembered but too well this desth of bis father twenty years ago. Th aoeounl is as follows : "The Modoo Indians occupied th lublinMilbiiwun YeaUa and rturnriaa !,ri 1 1 wj 1 j w.wvm r , Valley, being Rb Jilt 100 miles lour, by 80 mile wid. and containing tfc) preterit celebrated Litfi Bd.

Small streams swarming wun hod, and wa surrounded by high moun tains generally heavy timbered at the Das, uame oi ail ainua waa inrw plenty. Th tribe wa generally es timated at about 2,000, Including men, women and children, out of wfifctt -about 800 were cluased as warriors.- Tbey were regarded at that time ad the most war-line uido in tne oiaiej although by no means tbe most nil- meroua, and neici ineir own againet their savag neighbor. In their wart tbey were invariably victorious over the 'Shasta' and 'Pitt River Indians. At tbat time they were armed almost wholly wilh their primitive weapo n - the gun and the pistol not having superseded the bow and arrow. Their t bow, however, was a powerful weap. an; the stems ot tho arrows woull pull onl and leavo the barbed head 1 imbedded in tbe body of their gam , or their enemy. They - cultivated no lund, but subsisted upon game, fish . and tbe natural roots of tho country, ( Wild fowl were very abundant in Iho) , lakes, and from all these sources, tbey wero entirely frco from want. No ' tribe of Indians bud more produoiiv I bunting grounds than the Modocs, And they were jealou of tbe immi gration of tha whites, while the latter looked with longing eyes upon uioirr fertile . rallr-v. and some collisions took place. The Modocs were always -bold and willing to battle hand to band. In tbo year 1852 overland emigrant trains from ihe east began to pass i through their territory, aud the Mo..; docs attacked ono of tlieso trains nn ( tho border of Tule Lake, snd with the exception ' of one man, who es-' caped, maaacred evory man, woman and child. The scene of tbis maseaj ere has born tho oarau of 'Bloody Point' to this day. When the man who had escaped reached Yrcka there, was great excitement. A meeting of citizens and miners wasatonuecalled, at which I was present, and acorn-'' pany of twenty-thre volunteer ws' raised and placod under ibe command: of a young and adventurous man by, the namo of Ben. Wright, the expedi tion being fitted out and the expenses borne by the citizens. ' A similar com-' puny was raised across the line in Or- iron, nnder the command of one Ross., These two companies operated in con-, junction, but as separate commands.' Wright s lorce rescued uioooy roint just in time to rescue a second train, wlncn the Indians had enirappea ana held for thirty-six hours; but beyond protecting tbe road, neither Wright nor Rots sncoceded in doing much against the Modocs. When pursued, the Indians would fly to tbe .Lava Beds, the scene of tho present war, and socrelo themselves In a cave, which, from this circumstance, bas since born the name of 'Ben Wright's Cave.' ; As winter approachod, and no more trains were to bo expected tbat season, Wright desiring uot to return without somo results to boast of, arranged for a 'peace tulk' with tbe savagea, on which occasion h agreed to kill an ox. It is well known lo th old residents 91 lrelta mat 111 Intention was to poison tbe ox, and. thus diivpalch tbetn all. When this fact became known the sensibilities of many residents of Yreka were severe ly shocked, but the general tide of opinion sustained him. This aot of .rvacuuiv eu u.,vi u.iij yvt nn mea, but oue wan substituted falling little short of it in atrocity. : Pursuant to agreement, the Indians cams, nam-. ucring ioriy-soien warriors, under command ol their cbief bcboncblD, tbe father of tho Schonohin who par. licipatod in th massacre oi General Cauby aod party., Tbe two forces encamped close together.

This being tbe signal agreed upon, bis parly rushed in and butch, ered them, only seven of the Indian escaping. I know this, not only from--general report at Yreka, but from tho Hp of one ol Wright's men, who baa related tbe circumstance to me manj times."
