Correspondence of the Republican Compiler.-
The Kansas question has been laid upon the ,
shelf fora time, by the adoption of Mr: Dunn's'l
resolution appointing a commission to proceed i
to the territory to- investigate the matter of I
dispute fietiveeiCklessrs. Wiritfteld-and-R-eed-er
and-it is to be hopi:d_ that the vexed question is
now in -a fair way for a permanent, if not a
speedy, adjustment. ' The coinmission will
consist of three members of Congress, who will
have, full power in, the premises and whose
duty it will be to travel through the territory
"and collect all Alm facts in the case. A more
onerous and. thankless duty.. never fell to the
lot of a committee of the 'House, but there
should be no shrinking or dodging now. The
people have been long enough harrassed ,with
the Kansas trouble,lnn it is their right-to de.
wand that all the, causes which have led to the
unhappy differences shall he properly
,investi
gated and measo. es take i fur their removal.—
Ttr. Committee will not be ready to report un
til late in the sessiori` ,
A tuti L tterof ii‘ir,general interest to the peia•
ple of this couriiirils now before Congress, in
the shape of a
,proposition to subscribe for some
thirty- thousand copies of Dr. Kane's forthcom
ing history of the' American explorations in
the arctic regions.. Dr. Kane made a brief re
port to the Navy Department - upon.his return,
but it. embraced only the scientific researches
of the expedition, the Dr. having, at the sug
gestion of the Secretary of the Navy, reserved
the incidents of his travel, his adventures, &c.,
for a more finished , and elaborate work. This
book is now in course otpublication by the en
terprising house of Chiliii-& Peterson, of Philo'.
del phia, under the immediate - superintendence
of Dr. Kane, and will be issued early in the
summer in a style commensurate with, its
high national character and merit as:a literary
production. The book will twin two volumes,
octaVo. of 900 . pages. add contain upwards of
300 wood engravings.' besides 22 fine steel en
gravings-and several maps, all engraved from
the Dr.'s own'drawings. I have been favored
with a view of portions of the letterpress and
.
have examined the embellishmentS, and do not
hesitate to express that Dr. Kane's book will
be - found the Most entertaining,- the most - in
structive and handsome book ever issued from
the American press ; that -it will - be sought af
ter and read with avidity I have-no doubt.---
But in my admiration of the book l, must" not
c.az 'if the ---- inch le )bieed- it
iose sight af the causes w Ave pi . in
its present position before , the country.. it
should be recollected that our government sus
tained but a small portion of the expense of the
Kane expedition. while it receives all the credit
of: the discoveries made up to 82 30. The
burden of the expedition fell
. upon private In
dividuals, arid proved exhausting to the means
of Dr. Kane: Thus far Our government has
done nothing towards recognizing 'the services
of Dr. Kane - or reimbursing hi. 4 outlays.—
Money as a testimonial from his government
the Dr. would refuse to accept—he has already
declined' considerations from the English goy
erment—and there is no way that he can be
reached except in the delicate manner proposed
by his friends in and out of Congress. The
Dr. owns the copg-right of his- book and will
—reali-ze-a-ha-ndsorne-suM---V-3F-thsed4;itb .
scription, which he will.receive as a reward for
an invaluable - . contribution to our national
literature and not as a testimonial for services.
The plan meets the approbation of members
generally.

Four Children Murdered.
SYRACUSE', N. Y., March woman
11 adued-Wavl,residinvv.nr
son county, yesterday murdered her four chil
dren by cutting their throats with• an are.—
She then made an unsuccessful attempt 'to cut
her own throat: The cause of the act is said
to. be the neglcctand ksutality of her husband.
Tit
leging that the husband is a drunken, worth
less fellow, says :
It appears that the husband had neglected
his fatuity and treated them in a most cruel
manner. The wife and mother has threatened
that. if he did not reform his' ways and help her
to take proper care of the children she would
murder them and take her own life. He heed
ed not her threat, hut persisted in his brutality.
Yesterday morning he left. his home to go_ fish
ing on the Lake. and during his absence she
executed her threat, taking an axe and with it
cutting the throats of four of the five children,
the youngest of whom was only two months
old. The oldest of the children, aged about
eight yelrs. escaped only by running away,
she vainly pursuing him with axe in hand for
some distance. She then returned to the house
where she had perpetrated these shocking acts.
and seizing her husband's razor attempted to
commit suicide by cutting her throat.. Shedid
not cut ri:.ep enough. however, to render the
wouh fatal; and when discovered was literally
covered with blood, and suffering the bust in
tense agony.

were all that remained above the waters out of
thirteen wim nine days before had left, the
*reek of the ship John ilutledv, Capt. Kelly,
'of this_port, belonging to Messrs. Howland
& Ridgeway. The story of the John Rut
ledoe. as given by Mr. Nye, is as follows :
The John Rutledge sailed' from from Liverpool
on.the 16th of January. On the 18th of Feb
ruary. in lat. 45 deg. 31 min., lon. 46 deg. 56
sec. W., she fell in With the ice. On the 19th
she entered a field of ice, but cleared it. Soon
afterwards, however, on the same day, she en
countered an iceberg. 'which stove a hole in
her how, and datnaged her to such an extent
that at six o'clock in the evening' she was a
complete wreck and evidently sinking. Not h•
ing remained but for those on hoard to aban
don the wreck .as best they could. Five boats
were lowered, fonr of which veil; their loads
and left. In the fifth boat, which was the one
found by the Germania. the mate of the John
Roiledoe, Mr. Atkinson, and several others
were just alt Out entering, when it broke adrift
with the thirteen already in it, leaving the
mate and those with him to 'go down with the
.vreek. Those in the boat now pulled it
through the water and- ice as well as 'they were
,able,. but soon their compass was broken. end
amid the - snowy and cloudy-weather, which
followcd, they 'knew not which • way they
went.—Days passed on', and one by one of
the thirteen in the boat sank in death, front
the lombined .effects of cold and starvation,
and were thrown overboard, until on the .28th

dead, among whom w; Mrs. Atkingon, the
wife of the mate, were picked - up by the Ge►-
Ifla II la.
The Germania, after rescuing Mr. Nye,
Good to the north-west until dark, and then
lay-to until day light,, in hopes that some others
of the drifting boats might be st:en. None,
however, were discovered, and she then sailed
away to the southwest, keeping watch. At
9 o'clock, A. M., there came on a very thick
sncr.v storm, which cleared off at coon, hut
still no boats- were to be seen. .The; Germa
nia still kept to the sloth, as the other boats
were better manned than the one found, had
composes on board, and it was supposed that
they would poll for the -Gulf stream. Mr.
Nye could not tell which way the other boats
wtint, but a bark had come out, of the ice about
the same time, bound west, w bleb may have
possibly picked up some of them. If not, the
'probability is•that those - on board of the boats
have ere this perished. On the llth of March,
the---G-ermania--e-x-pefienced- another ht •
west-north-west,' which lasted -three days,
driving her back one hundred and fifty miles
into the Gulf. - It was very.cold arid there was
much snow. The Germania was twenty,five
days to the westward of the flanks.
The reader will not fail 'to notice that the
track where the Germania encountered the ice
on the 28th of February, and where the John
Rutledge was lost npuit it on the 1901 of the
same month, is about the same where the Ar
aw, encountered it nn the I Fith •or January. the
Atlantic on the 19 tlt•of February, the Arago
on the 22d, the Baltic on the 27th of the same
month, the Persia on the 3lst of January, the
.Africa on the 2d of Mareh, and about the same
time as that where the Edinburgh on the 27th
of March saw what has been supposed by
_fLoni_e_co_lie—th.e_w_r_e_e_k_o_Ltle_acifie,anit_ti •
position of which ice in the ocean we idesig
mated on a chart which we published on Sat
urday morning last. An additional hope to
thatjain_t_one which our ardent wishes still
keep alive within us, that the Pacific has not,
been lost upon that same 'icy track, may pos
sibly be derived from the fact that nether the
Germania nor the survivor from the John Rut
ledge, brings any report of having seen any
vestige of Wreck in nearly that part of the
ocean in which, we expressed our tear on. Sa
turday last, - that the Pacific had milt a ear u
fate. .-We confess, •however, that this *fact is
or a character .not to give that hope much foun
dation on which AO build its pleasant indul
gence.
A dispatch received from New York on
Monday. says the John Rutledsze (which was
built at Baltimore) had on board 120 passen;
gers, and a crew of 25 persons, and of those
only ono soul is known to have been saved.
She WaA insured for $70,500, and had a cam°

EQUINOCTIAC GAL.—On Monday afternoon
a violent gale of wind swept over Frederick
city,..Md., doing some damage. The Exami
ner says :
The iron roof of the Vulcan Yorks. at the
east end of Patrick street, was torn off, as also
- were considerable portions of the tin roofing of
the dwellings of Judge Marshall, N. Vernon,
C: E. Trail and others, and of the new house
of J. J. Wilson. A trap door from the ro)f of
the dwelling or Dr. %Vizi. Tyler. sen., was blown
across Court square into Church street. a dis
tance of 200 yards ; and we saw a window
shutter wrenched from its fastenings in the
third story of the residence of W. J. Ross, E4q.
The violence of the wind endured less than a
