Dr. Sir.- Tho Monroe Democrat of
this week contains.a most unjustifiable at
tack upon the ,kManagcrsv of tho Tele
graph. I being in charge of this end of
the Line, and furnishing, all the news, the
attack is virtually upon me, and there
fore, without consulting the u Managers"
and that the public may understand the
facts truly, with regard to our underta
king to furnish news to the Stroudsburg
subscribers, and the precise degree to
which the Democrat has misrepresented
the whole matter, I present for their in
spection the following document, which
contains the whole substance of our con
tract and tho instructions under -which 1
acted. If it shall be found, on a compar
ison of facts, with tho requisitions of this
written article, that we failed to fulfil the
undertaking implied in its terms, why we
arc derelict of duty and fairly liable to
the wholesale censure and abuse of the
Democrat if not, and it shall appear that
wo have kept our agreement then have we
been most unjustly assailed and the Tele
graph injuriously treated by tho splenetic
querulousucss of this unreasonable Edi
tor.
.Easton, Oct. II th, 1S55.
J. L. Mingle, Sup't.
The Stroudsburg.people have sub
scribed 820 for election returns on Elec
tion night and nest morning. You will
please send them all the returns you can
get on that night and the next morning
The Telegraph being new, it is advisable
that nothing but correct returns should
be sent. The result for Judge will be of
interest.
II . S. IIECKMAN, Pres't.
From the above it will be seen that we
undertook to furnish the Stroudsburg sub
scribers with the election returns which
should come to hand, or which wc could
obtain on the evening of the election and
the following morning, and the results
generally, with regard to any particular
candidates, as they might require.
This wc did as far and as fully as we
possibly could, not only on tho night af
ter the election, but for several days af
ter, sending to Stroudsburg every thing
with regard to the election, not only in
the district, but al.-o all the returns of the
different counties throughout the State,
as rapidly and as correctly, as we our
selves could obtain them.
The Sjroudsburg subscribers were in
formed of results as promptly and rapid
ly as we received them ourselves, all their
enquiries were answered promptly, and
the utmost diligence used in procuring
the information they required. The Line
was devoted to their use the entire night
and for some das afterwards, without
any additional charge for the transmission
of election returns. I conceive, there
fore, if the labors of the operators and
the occupation of the line, for free elec
tion messages, had terminated with the
night of election, that the " Managers5''
would have been but poorly compensated
for ail their extra labor, and the unlimi
ted use of their line for the occasion.
They, howevetr,.with n liberality but poor
ly remunerated, by such treatment as the
Democrat bestows upon them, allowed
the privilege of a free transmission of
election returns to and from Stroudsburg,
to continue for sevral days after its rea
sonable limitation.
The paltry subscription of 20 dolls,
over which this splenetic organ sets up
such a growl, and which cost the operator
so much time and trouble to raise, would
scarcely have paid the regular cost of the
messages' transmitted between Honesdale
and Stroudsburg, on the evening of the
election, let alone the other returns, and
tho extra charge for night work, lights,
&o. &c. &c.
How ho can reasonably expect ah in
definite extension of the labors of the
Line and its Managers, in procuring and
forwarding to him "official city returns"
which arc purely of official city co?iccrn,
we can only understand, as referable to
the captious and querulous spirit begot
ten of tho unwholesome exercises of a
peevish partisan print, whose controlling
spirit finds its habitual pleasure in cen
t . .rt m
suring rigut or wrong soinetmng or
somebody.
. Wo are happy to know that all others
were satisfied with our endeavors to give
them full satisfaction; and we have heard
no complaint from any other quarter, than
the Democrat, who in concluding his ar
ticle says that our "reports, were satisfac
tory so- far as they went" but hardly
thinks it amounted to twenty dollars.
As to tho incorrectness of any of our
returns, wc can only say that, we sent
them as wc received them, relying on the
sources from which we got them. Wc
gave no special guarantee of their correct
ness; and have no doubt that our reports,
of general results especially, were prox
imately as correct as the early election
returns usually are.
Wo sent to Stroudsburg, election night,
everything that appeared in tho Phila
delphia papers of next morning, except
only the returns from three counties, one
of which (Allegheny) I declined sending,
thinking it incorrect but which, subse
quently, I found to be correct.

the cost of a message a upbn the par

is mean and malicious, in tho obvious do
sign of prejudicing it in the public mind.
It is no more a tax than tho subscription
price of his paper, and God wot, not
half so great a humbug, with all its lia
bility to the deceptions of unscrupulous
newpaper reporters.
' It is no tax. For its use is imposed
upon no man, and we doubt not all who
use it, find its conveniences and advanta
ges a full equivalent for the price they
pay for their messages.
The Democrat winds up with a truthful
and well merited tribute to the .fidelity
of the Stroudsburg operator, and repeats
the charge against the Easton office, of
not furnishing the result, in the Judicial
district. This we deny, and our reports
furnished to the Stroudsburg office dis
prove. Wc did make all the provisions
possible, and "taxed'' the different lines
running to or near any part of the "Judi
cial district" for all the reliable returns
they could furnish, and promptly des
patched them to tho Democrat and other
subscribers in Stroudsburg. They got
tho same returns, and as promptly, as the
City papers received from us with this
difference that then paid better and
growled less.
As to the future use of the Telegraph,
on election occasions, by such liberal and
generous patrons as the Democrat, what
ever we may lose in a pecuniary respect,
by their refusal to contribute for that ob
ject, will be amply remunerated by the
satisfaction of its freedom from all lia
bility to undue censure and unjust and
inconsiderate blame.
"Very respect'y yours, &c.
JAS. L. MINGLE,
Sup't Easton and Stroudsburg -
ielegraph Company
The N. Y. Tribune, and the Dem
ocratic papers generally, call the result
of the election in this State a "repudiation
of Know Nothingisni." Nicholson was
the nominee of Whigs, Republicans and
Americans, and is badly beaten. If the
result be viewed solely as a political one,
and apart from the causes which palpa
bly produced it, it can with more truth
be said to be a verdict in favor of Dem
ocracy than against the "Know Nothings;'
tor the latter did not have a seperate
State ticket, and a vote in favor of the
Democrats was as much a vote against
the Whigs and Republicans as against
the Americans.
But the contest was not decided upon
political grounds. Ampricanism is not
rebuked by it; nor Whiggcry, nor Repub
licanism. The merits of these parties had
little to do with the result. The great
overshacidowing question was that ot Tem
perance, and it coutroled enough votes to
give the Democrats nearly every county
in the State. A Liquor League was
tormea in every county. It acted as
unit, and made its nominations from the
tickets of the old parties, and generally
irom tho Democratic tieket. Its vote,
joined to that of the Democrats, procured
the election of men favorable to the re
peal of the present Liquor law. Of itself.
the League could have effected nothing.
Joined with one or other of two leading
parties, it controled everything. It pur
sued the same policy the Americans did
last fall, and has decided the contest as
signally as they.
With the members of this League, po
litical considerations had no weight. The
private interests of its members were al
leged to be assailed; and they abandon
ed all other questions in the desire to
save their business from destruction. In
this county, and doubtless in other coun
ties, many of the members of the Liquor
League are members of the American
party; but they supported the Democratic
ticket, because its candidates were plcdg
ed to vote on the (to them) most import
ant question, as they demanded. With
this law repealed, and themselves in the
- l r ..
same rciaave position as nciorc it was
passed, these men will resume their con
nection with the Americans, and contrib
ute their influence in future campaigns to
the success of the American party.
In no sense, can this result be claimed
as a Democratic victory. It is essential
ly a Liquor triumph. Had this question
not been introduced into the canvass, the
Democrats would have been almost as
badly beaten iathis State as they baye
been in Ohio. The votes are here to do
it but they could not be organized, on
account, principally, of the distracting
Temperance question. Pittsburg Times
Letters from Norfolk, dated October
10th, give cheering accounts of the np
pearance of the City: 'Quite a large

Returner "tho Arctic Explorers.
Wo obtain from tho New York Jour-.
nalof Commerce tlie following particulars
of the' "return to that port of Dr. Kane
and his companions, as passengers on the
vessels of the expedition commanded by
Lieutenant Hartstene, ' which was fitted
out by tho Government for their relief:
The expedition in commaud ot Lieut.
Hartstene, consisting of the screw-steam
er Arctic and the sailing-vessol Release,
left New York on the 4th of Juno last,
and on the 5th of July arrived at Licvcly,
on their trip northward. I hence they
coasted along the shore of Greenland to
lat. 78,38 N., touching at Hare Island,
Upernavick, Hakluyt Island, (Jape Hath-
erton, and other places. They were twen
ty-eight days boring through the pack
ice in Melville .bay. '1 hence they cross
ed Davis's Straits and went up Lancas
ter Sound as- far as Admirality Inlet,
whero they were opposed by a solid pack,
which entirely stopped their progress.
They then passed down the western coast,
examining Possession and Pond's bays.
They were fast in the great middle pack
for several days, and had a fair prospect
of remaining there for this winter; but,
fortunately, the ice after awhile broke a-
way, and they were enabled to escape.
The expedition passing still southward,
reached Lievely on the 13th ult., having
entirely circumnavigated the northern
waters as far as the ice would permit.
At Lievely they found Dr. Kane and his
party, who had abandoned' their vessel
in the ice. Receiving these men, the ob
jects of their search, on board, Lieut
Hartsteue's vesssels leit Lievely on the
18th of Sept., for New York, where they
arrived on the 11th of October.
The Journal ot uommercc also gives
some particulars of Dr. Kane's expedi
tion, which we here subjoin:
The brig Advance of 145 tons, set sail
in May, 1853, for Smith's Sound, under
the command of Dr. Kane, who was de
tailed to moke explorations in the Arctic
regions by Mr. Kennedy, then Secretary
of the Naw under Mr. Fillmore. The
present Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Dob
bin, entered upon the performance of his
duties before the Advance sailed, and ful
ly carried out the views his predecessor
On the 23d of July, 1853, the Advance
arrived at Upernavick, latitude 73 de
grees north, on the coast of Greenland.
Nothing further was heard of the expedi
tion from that time until Thursday last
The Advanoo was left in Rensselaer
Bay, in latitude 79 deg. where the expe
dition passed two winters. The vessel
was abandoned on the 17th May last,(her
flag and pennant flying,) imbedded mice
fourteen feet thick, from which it was
found impossible to extricate her; and
Dr. Kane and his men accomplished the
remarkable journey of thirteen hundred
miles on foot and in boats, following the
indentations of the bays from Rensselaer
to Upernadick, where they embarked on
hoard a Danish vessel bound to Denmark
This vessel put into Lievely, (Disco Isl-
and,)where by a remarkable coincidence,
she was fallen in with by tho Hartstene
expedition. As the propeller of uapt.
Hartsteno entered that harbor ho espied
a brig, which immediately raised the A-
merican nag. hi3 cermony was sup
posed to be a mere compliment from the
Danish vessel, but a whale-boat soon left
the brig with Dr. Kane on board, and
spread out -'Pot Rock flag," which had
the name of Henry Grinnell upon it, when
the truth flashed upon Lieut. Hartstene
that the long absent explorers had been
found. Dr. Kane and his party accord
ingly embarked on board the Release and
the Arctic, the vessels of Hartstcne's ex-
peditiotii .
. Three of Dr. Kane's party died in the
Arctic region, viz: Christian Ohlsen, car
penter, who died of lockjaw, produced by
intense cold; Jefforson Raker, seaman,
who died of the same complaint; and Pier
re Schba.t, cook, (French,) who died from
the effects of amputation of his foot, which
was rendered necessary from being frost
bitten. The scurvy, hitherto the scourge
of the Arctio region, was entirely under
command, but the lockjaw was difficult
of management and threatened serious
disaster. Fifty seven dogs died of it,
breaking up entirely the sledge organiza
tion. The most intense cold suffered was
in latitude about 82 deg. north, where the
thermometer fell to sixty below zero, or
ninety-two degrees below freezing point.
When tho thermometer was at this low
range Dr. Kane and his party were en
gaged with instruments in making a sur
vey of the indentations of the bay in
which their vessel was then imbedded.
Tho. dicoveries made by Dr. Kane
reach to a point northward much further
than ever beforo explored. Numerous
bays and capes have been explored, and
some of them named. They will make
an addition to tho maps of the country
wnicn wm over remain a conspicuous
monument of American entepnse. On
reaching the northermost point of land
the expedition passed in sjedgos over an
ice barrier of eighty-one miles in width,
when they came to open water, which ar
rested their movement. Wrangle, a Rus
sian, made a like discovery travelling
north to tho bibenan islands m sledges.
The existence of this open water, at least
in the month of August, is now made
certain; but tho theory hithorto main
tained that this open water arose from a
milder climate muBt now, we suppose, be
abandoned, in view of the intense cold
found in the highest latitude of the ex
pedition. The last map published by authority
of the British explorerp, founded on the
explorations of Capt. Inglefield, are found
to be incorrect, so far as tho north coast
of both America and Greenland are con
cerned, It is probable that no oxplorer
win ever neraiter undetaKo to pass over
tho eighty-one miles of ice between the
north coast of Greenland and tho open
water mentioned, or that thore will bo any
important alteration in the maps now to
bo made.
The Esquimaux ' were found as far
north as Rensselaer bay, and were trou
blesome and, dangerous until Dr. Kane
took decisivo'mcasures to stop their dop
rcdations. TvrcEsquimaux women who
had stolen a buffalo robe wero iouoweu
by him sixty miles on foot, brought back
tojho. vessel, exposed without much clotlf
ing to Bevero cold and kept in confine
ment until assort of treaty had been on-
fnrno into bv which the Esquimaux a-
grecd that their boys might be taken and
held if furtner depredations were com
mitted. They had destroyed some ot
the boats of the expedition before tho a
doption of this system. The Esquimaux
wero found in that high latitude to bo an
extremely hardy and vigorous race, full
of conrage, so much so that one one of
them, armed with a lance, wouiu not Hes
itate to attack the powerful polar bear of
that region.
Dr. Kane and his party were oltcn on
short allowance, and at times were oblig
ed to rely chiefly on the gun for food.
On their return along the coast ot urccn-
land, he knew, from his experience of the
region, where to find the wild duck and
its nests, and they had plenty of meat and
eggs on most of tho homeward journey a-
long the coast, althongh previously they
had been reduced to living on tallow in
their boat expeditions. With the three
exceptions above mentioned the whole
company arrived in good health, as fol
lows: Dr. Kane, John W. Wilson, Amos Bon
sall, Dr. J. J. Hayes, Henry Brooks,
boatswain, Augustus Sontag, Henry Good
felloWjGeorgc Stephenson, Wm. Morton,
Thomas Hickey, James McGarry, Geo.
Riley. Wm. Godfrey, Charles Blake, and
George Whittle.
Lieut. Hartstene 'when' he accidentally
fell in with Dr. Kane at Licvcly, (God
Haven,) was about to proceed northward
to spend a second witner in the Arctic O
cean. He deserves great credit for his
perseverance and for the admirable man
ner in which he has carried out the hu
mane object of the Government which
properly sent him to relieve Dr. Kane
from his dangers. The propeller was
found highly useful in navigating the in
tricato and narrow openings of water a
mong tho ice. The pack usually opens
with a northwest wind, which is a head
wind for a sailing vessel proceeding north,
and closes with a south wind, which shuts
up the pack and obstructs navigation with
sails. The highest point reached by Lieut
Hartsteno was by the propeller, it hav
ing been found that steam was far better
than sails in Arctic navigation.
We are much gratified to know that the
expedition originally set on foot by our
fellow-citizen, Henry Grinnell, has thus
completed its full service, with honor to
the country and all engaged m the under
taking.
The British Government,acting through
the Hudson's Bay Company, is now en
gaged in ascertaining the full particulars
of the loss of Sir John Franklin, of which
explioit information may soon be expec
ted, when the history of his unfortunate
adventures will be fully known to the
world, and put an end to the necessity of
further efforts m
thc dangerous field of
Arctic exploration.
Allusion has been made to the support
which the expedition derived from shoot
ing game. These Arctic regions, though
abundant in animal life, have alternate
regions of destitution and plenty. By
carefully availing themselves of the knowl
edge they possessed of the places peculiar
to bird-life and to eggs, and noticing the
walrus grounds, the expedition managed
to obtain food of this character and main
tained their vigor. It was but rarely
that they were driven to extremity from
hunger, and then they were all providen
tially relieved by a successful hunt. In
cluding reindeer, bear, seals, and the ei
der ducks, about ten thousand pounds of
animal food were obtained by means of
the gun.
Some of the episodes encountered during
Dr. Kane's search have wild interest.
At one time it became necessary to send
a fatigue party with provisions to assist
the main party under Dr. Kane in attemp
ted passage across Smith's Sound. Tbi
party was under the command of Mr.
Brooks, first officer of the expedition. He
was auoompanied by Mr. Wilson and oth
er volunteers. During their travel they
found the ice completely impenetrable,
and a snow drift at last swept wildly over
the floes, and, in the midst of a heavy
gale from the north, the thermometer, to
their dismay, sunk to fifty-seven degrees
below zero. Human nature could not
support tho terrible cold. Four of the
party, including Mr. Brooks and and Mr.
Wilson, were prostrated with frozen feet,
and with great difficulty three of their
companions, after encountering great suf
fering, reached the ship and announced
the condition of their comrades. Their
chances of boing resoued seemed extreme
ly small. They were in tho midst of a
wilderness of snow, incapable of motion,
protected only by a canvass tent, and with
no land-marks by which their position
could be known. Even to drag these
maimed men would have been under or
dinary circumstances a work of difficulty,
but to tho slender party lefC at the ship
it seemed to be impossible. Dr. Kane,
with tho boldness and courage which jus
tified the warm attachment felt towards
him by all under his command, in one
hour organized a rescuing party, leaving
on board only those who were necessary
to receive the sick, and started off in the
teeth of a terrific gale, steering by com
pass, to rescue tho sufferers. After nine
teen hours' constant travel, during which
two of tho party fainted and others re
quired to be kept from sleep by force, they
struck the trail of tho lost party, and fi
nally, staggering under their burdens, one
by one reached the tent, which was almost
hidden bv tho snnw. Tim snM na Tit-
Kane entered the tent, was affcotinc be
yond description. Tho party burse out
into tears. A Pmppqr ftre was immedi
ately built, pemmioan cooked, and the
party ato for the. first time after leaving
tho vessel. loo was also molted; thoy
having been to this time without drink.
Worn out as they wero, but four hours
wero allowed for tho halt. Tho maimed
of tho frozen party were sewod up in buf
falo robos, placed on sledges, and dragged
along by their companions, Dr. Kane
walking in advance, picking tho tragk.7-
Cold of the utmost severity again over
took them. Bonsall and Morton, and e
ven tho: Esquimauxiboy Hance, sunk upon
the snow with sleep. It was only by force
that they wero aroused and made to pro
ceed, as the cold seemed to have destroyed
all conception of danger. A largo bear
met on their way was fortunately scared
off by Dr. Kane, by tho simple waving
of his hand. They reached the ship after
a walk of sixty-two hours, still dragging
their companions behind them, but insen
sible. Dr. Hays, tho intelligent surgeon
of tho ship, from whom wc obtained tho
particulars of this fearful adventure, re
ceived the returning party. Two of tho
number died of their injuries, and two
others underwent amputation, who aro
now restored to perfect health. The con
dition of those who dragged the sick wa.3
moat lamentable. Their memory for
time was entirely gone, and the ship, m
tho midst of muttering delirium, resem
bled an hospital. The surgeon and one-
remaining attendant werom sole charge ot
the ship. In this state of scmi-madncss
the sick remained for two or three daysr
butaftcrwards they entirely recovered and
the party under Dr. Kane started three
weeks afterwardaand resumed theirlabora
in the field. Intrepidity like this has nev
er been surpassed. It is spoken of with
emotion even now by the stoutest hearts
in tho expedition.
Dr. Kane took out letter?, procured
through the instrumentality of Mr. Mar-
rt , pet.. p
cy, secretary or oiate, requesting ironi
the Danish Government such hospitality
on the part of the colonics in Greenland
as might promote the objects of the expe
dition. This request was moat cordially
acquiesced in by an autograph letter of
the Minister of tho Home Department of
Denmark, the good effects of which were
of great consequence to Dr. Kane and hi
party. The monopoly of the trade in furs
throughout the colonies is wholly in the
hands of the Home Government, which
will not allow the sale of any articles.
The stores collected on ,thc coast were,
however, freely laid open to Dr. Kane ;
and when his party ou their return, ar
rived destitute of clothing and hungry,
every thing they had was placed at their
disposal. Numerous traders are engaged
along the coast in direct communication
with Copenhagen. One of these, Capt.
Amandason, of tho brig Marianne, offered
a passage to England to Dr. Kane and
his party on the most moderate terms;
while another, the captain of the Julian-na-haav,
bore despatches from them to
the American Minister at London. It
was while descending the coast in the Ma
rianne that, stopping for her clearance pa
pers at Lievely, (God Haven,) our coun
trymen encountered the vessels of Capt.
Harstenc. The contract for passage was
immediately and most cheerfully aban
doned by Capt. Amandson, and Dr. Kane
and his party returned" by the searching
squadron. God Haven is in one sense,
the metropolis of Greenland. It is the
seat of a Royal Spectorate as well as a
Colonial Governor. The arrival of Dr.
Kane's party in. the Danish vessel was
the signal for every variety of hospitality
which the means of the inhabitants al
lowed. Previous to their intended depar
ture for England a "grand ball" was giv
en, at which the Esquimaux for many
miles around appeared in their full cos
tume of seal skins and raindecr inexpres
sibles. The course of the authorities with
regard to pecuniary payments, and of all
others, from Capt. Amandson up to Mr.
Oelrichs himself, the royal inspector, was
highly commendable. It affords us pleas
ure to be able to do this justice to the lo
cal government and people of (Greenland.

A correspondent of the Spirit of the Time?;
writing from Paris under date of May 31st,
remarks on tho state of the London horsp
market as follows: "Ladies' saddle horses aro
not to be had, neither are carriage horsey
which will surprise you. In thirteen days
search I could not find a decent pair for sale
at any price. If this war lasts another year x
the Europeans will be importing horses from
America, and it would be well worth the at
tention of our farmers and breeders to raise
large horses, fit to draw a heavy carriage, or
carry a heavy man. Good saddle horses for
gontlemen, aro still to be found by paying for
them; a first rate one stands you -S300," A

now in that city purchasing carriage and sad
