The narrative f liis exphiratimisj in the Arctic seas is intt li sting. Mr. Hall iirri veil in the Arctic regions late in l sijt). anil nslhe m ai wi re free from ice, In: was anxious to proeetal immediately with his lni.-Mon ; Lnt he took the cohiim 1 oftlie lOsiiniintin.x, lio wonlil not eonseiil to make tip a Loat parly tor t lie purpose of pni.-ccnting the work. The intervening time was oei tipietl in learning the Innnit or I'sipii matiY. langiittge from the unlives, whom he was enahled soon to uinler.-tanil. nsrti r.im'.s. liming the winter months Mr. Hall was not idle, for with Ids Lout lie settled the fai t lhat I'mliislier's Strait was only a deep in dentation or Lay. (inthe'Jlst of August, ISill . he Hood on the high land at the north ern shore, and saw the w hole sweep of land around the Lay. On the 07th of SeptemLer. I Slid, the frail Loat upon whieh he so much depended was totally lost. Fortunately, at the time tw o Knglish whalers were in the Lay latitude (i'J degrees 5 J minutes, longi tude I'm degrees ,'i minutes west jind Cap tain r.tiker, w ho eomnianded one of them, pronii-cd Mr. Hall a Loat. whieh he was to leave at a designated place for his n-e. It was not h ft. however, and Mr. Hall thinks the shins were Mown out of the Lav. j Mr. Hall returned to the (ieoiu-e Henry, j ami learned that the schooner liescne, or j "Amarct," a tendi r to tin; hark, had heen lost in the gale of the 2?th Sipteinlier. In ' reference to l'rol.i Iter's discoveries, it np I pears that the ancient navigator and ex I plorcr entered this hay, and. finding that i liis progress was impeded Ly fixed ice, stip- posetl that it must Ltt an open strait ftucn I over, and the licit i-h government have never ' since pushed its further exploration. The lay of the hind is very dill'erent from the line laid down upon the charts now in use. ' This fai t is ami has Lien known Ly the w halcini li w ho freiplclit its locality : hut they supposed it to he a strait. J lilt no ollieial 'change litis In en made hy any government. ! Mr. Hall hits a very large and can fully e j pared chart of this Lav, and will in tine time pulilish it, hut the present time he I ih ems it proper to withhold its features. In lsiil his exploration were renewed with energy. He had laconic acclimated, ; and was fully alive to the amount of Work which was lufore him. A whalehoat was ! procured from the George Henry, and with a crew of six lnnuits, male mid female, he slat ted on his northern journey to Countess of Warwick Sound, and after much dillieitl ly succeeded ill discovcihig the place where FroLi-her attempted to plant a colony. A cousidcraMc time wa spent here in ol'tuiii ing relics of lhat ill-fated colony. At ncar ; ly every place of their deharkatioii relics were found, con,i-ting of pieces of coal, htick, wood, and a portion of cannon shot. v. hit h itiiohl have Li en u-ed as I unit Uiliast. rThe coal had heen overgrown w ith moss ami 'titlark Ycgctalilo growth ; thehrick looked 1 ijuite fresh mid new; the wood was simply chips, which, although cmhedded ill the coal tltist for nearly three hundred years, are w ell preserved. The piece of iron is well . worn with the ru-t of so ninny years. One of the facts in connect ion with the discovery of these people is.tlr.it .Mr. Hall discovered n trench twenty feet deep and one hundred feet long, a species of thy thick - leading down to the water. Iu this excava tion the party of FroLi-hcr's mtn w ho were captured hy the hsipitniaux on Ins Inst voy age, with the assistance of some of thiir captors, Luilt n small vessel, in which they were to enihaik ami sail to Fngland. Iu thie time she was completed and put to sea, hut heavy Weather coming on, and their ves sel proving unscaworthy, they were oMiged to return. All of this crew were severely frost bitten. Despairing of ever reaching their native land, mid being severely frost bitten, the captives soon died. TK.U KS OF FUAXKI.IX'ii EXPF.PIT10N. Tho informal ioh respecting the fate of two of the boats' crews of Sir John Fraklin's expedition is not yet ns clear us could be desired. The facta are these : While on one of his uledge journeys in 101 a party of st range lnnuits came to Mr. Hall's stopping place, and from them he learned that three years ago two boats' crew s came dow n Hud son's Sllaits, bound through tho straits. 1 hesu men "cudleiiias,"ir white men, stop ped on one of the Lower Savage Islands (which lie near tho mainland on the north side of lludson'ii Straits), nml here they left what tho lnnuits call "soft stones." One of the natives who knew the use of firearm., saw tho "soft stones," mid pronounced them to be leaden bullets. All trace of these men were Biihseiiuently lost, nntl Mr. Hall, not knowing that that tho Kitty, a Hudson' Hay Company's ship, had been lost there five years previously, supposed these two boatV crew to be u portion of Sir John Franklin's expedition, from tho fact that that regretted explorer, not knowing how long he might bo detained In tho ice, had laid in a very largo bupply of ammunition and leaden bullets, and that quantities had been taken in tho boats when they left the larger vessels; and in their endeavor to get through Hudson's Straits, and on to Labra dor, they had thrown away all cumbersome' articles and thus tho bullets ctunc in this place. Of this matter Mr, Hall will muk further search in history before he will per mit his inferences to have too great a weight in his narrative. A mountain or FtVl '. Mr. Hall has discovered a very large and interesting mountain of fossils nt the head of Frohisher's Hay, which has furnished him the materials for nn extensive scientific arti cle on that abstruse subject, Tin: (iinxxF.i.i. or..cn:it. He also discovered nn immense glacier near (Jtieen Kli.abelh's band. This he named the "(irinnell glacier," in honor of Mr. Hen ry (Irinnell. It exceeds three thousand feet in height, is one hundred miles long an.l fifty miles in w idth. STATKMKXT OF SIXOM) OFFICKIl GAIilllNKlt. Mr. A. J. Gardiner, second olliccr of tho George Henry, makes the following state ments : "After the ice broke up wc started to go into Frohisher's l?ay; but heavy ice drove us back, mid we went back and to the north ward of our first w inter quarters about three miles. Here we remained until our final departure from the icy reoions. Here we took three wales; so, with the two we had taken the season previous, we had six hun dred barrels of oil. Mr. Hall left the George Henry about the 1st of August, lsiil, in a whalehoat, with a native crew, and went around the head of Frohisher's I '.ay. He was gone about t wo months, ihtrinir which time he surveved the entire coast line of the hay. From October until April Mr. Hall was engaged in writing his journal anl completing charts. Ac. ' On the 1st dav of April, lsii.'. Mr. Hall started on a sledge journey, accompanied by Henry Smith, some of the George I leitry's crew, and I wo natives. On this journey they l;i"ivcred the great glacier and surveved tin; inolmtain of to-sils, and made further surveys of FroM-her's Hay. !y the time he had started on this journey he had become well po-lcd, and prosecuted his journey with good success, lie returned in the hitier p.ut of .May. an I went in a boat mid surveyed I'npc Fiizalu th. The ice was so heavy thai, lmt much was accomplished, and they returned in a lev days. "I wintered nt Kig-ga-ti'-guak, n large island about sixty miles to the northward of the harbor w here the ship lay. 1 arrived there about the 1st of February. There were two families of lnnuits nnd one of the crew with me. AVe were thus si panited in order to Letter take care "f ourselves, and we could hunt better, as we lived ill snow houses: but as far as victualling was con cerned we were the le.-s favored party. For two weeks wc lived on seal-' blood, prepared ill the following liiiinncr: When a seal was caught a hole was made in the snow, ba-iti shaped. Into this the blood w.n poured, and when it had frorn the snow was knocked oil', and a small piece was put into a dish or diluted with water; and this was our only food. At this time there laid been heavy snow storms, and we had been unable to procure seal or walrus. "We started for the ship ; but after pro ceeding eight miles we were obliged to abandon the journey and return to our hut . Our prospects wire vi ry gloomy, and the hours and days were passed iu sad fore bodings. AVe had no opportunities fur communicating with our friends and for a time our late seemed sealed. "After starling the second time our pros pects brightened, and on tin; Sth of March we reached the ship, pretty well u ed up. On arriving among our friends we soon procured provisions, and were again enabled to recruit our hail'-l'aniislied bodies. Our time was passed in visiting the several camps and in hunting. On the .'ith of April we loaded our boats with tents, tVc, ami started over the mountain towards 1'robislnr's l!ay, where we expected to hunt walrus, and perhaps a chance whale might fall a prize to ut. In one day we were at our lir-t destination, and remained there about ten days, when we shifted to a place southerly about twenty-live miles. W e were ipiite successful in getting walrus. We saw whales on the 'J.ith of June, and i ha ed them, but did not gvt any. This was the only time wc saw whales in this place. From the 1 tit li of May to the Sth of August we capture ! thirty-seven walrus, averaging live hundred pounds each. When we caught them we took them on shore and skinned them, and after cutting up the meat we buried it in the snow. A good sized walrus would last us about three dav s. At this time we were enabled to cook a greater portion of the meat wceat ; but when living w ith the natives we were obliged to tat two thirds of it raw. "In August we left our hunting ground and returned to the ship, and on the Plh day of August we weighed our anchors. We did not get out of the bay until the 12th ; and, with a fair w ind, we started for St. Johns. Wc livid on short rations until we reached that place on the 21st of August. We had three cakes of bread and a ; iece of meat for our daily allowance ; no coil'cc anil no flour." SI ATF.MI'.Vr OF STl'.WAUn ill 11SON. J. H. Hudson, steward of the vessel, adds these interesting items : "The first winter we froze in solid about the 1.1th of November. AVe had no trouble that winter in reference to provisions. We got out of the ice on the 2Sth of .Inly, lsiil. We did not live on board idl the time during the winter. AVe moved on shore on the 1st of .May to a place twenty-live miles southwest from the ship, where the natives told us there was a good whaling ground. AVe lived in tents made of sails of the ship. Here we lived very comfortably. In good weather we were cinplnvid in looking for whales ami cutting wood from the wreck of the llritish w haling steamer Traveller, w hit h lay about seventeen miles from us. Our food was the ship's prouisious, with ducks and duck's eggs a very large and delicious species. Here wc remained from May to the 27th of July, when wc came on board of the vessel and g,,t under way, intending to go into Frobisher's Hay ami go to whaling; hut the weather was unfavorable and we went into Kneu-gum ook Hay, where we anchored. We commenced whaling on the 12th of August, and followed it up until the lNlh of October. AVe took two whales the titst fall and three the last, making six hundred barrels of oil nnd ten thousand pounds of bone. The whales were plenty hut shy. Owing to the ice making soiptick, we were not. able to till the ship. "We froze on tho 1Mb of October. At tho time we fmre in wo had only live casks of bread and six barrels of salt incuts, with a little coll'ee and half a barrel of beans, five barrels of tlour and half a barrel of molasses. "About tho 1st of January, 18(10, the natives moved to tho walrus grounds, about HO miles west, and the crew went w ith them. Tho captain and myself remained by the ship. When the natives went first they did not bft- good luck, ercl for tbout t trocth wo were all on short allowances of meat. Tho northern parly had the hardest time, and for a long period they lived on nothing but the paunch of the reindeer. This paunch boiled oil. is quite n palatable dish, and especially to the i;siuiniau. We had only one cooked meal a day, the rest of the time we lived on raw meat. The first, winter we were troubled with the scurvy; but the second winter, when we lived on raw meat, none of us had the scurvy or symptoms of it. "From the 1-1 of May t.i thoSth of Attgu-t wc were still in the ice. On the hittcr'day Iho ice broke, and the crew came on board.

The following1 despatch has bet u lo ceived from one of your special corrc-pond-eiils: llu ri.i: riKt.n of S:t wti'suri'i;. Mn.. ) Wednesday livening. cpt. 17. I'-OO. The greatest battle of the war was fought to-day, lasting from daylight till dark, and closing without decisive result. The whole forces of McCh Hail and Lee w i le engaged I'or fourteen hours. Tw o hundred thousand men have fought with the utmo.-t determin ation on both sides. Neither cm claim a complete victory, but McClellan has partial ly carried the liel.,1 position, holding' most favorable ground for nncw ing the attack, and holding all the ground which w as gained at any time during the light. All our own dead ami wounded, and ma ny of the enemy's, nre iu our hands. On the left of the licbel position Hooker, Stunner and Franklin h.ivt i ro-scd Antietaui Creek, and have driven the enemy from the ground they chose to cover their flanks in frount of our batteries, and troops have steadily adv tinted and occupy to night a range of hills considerably beyond those lirst taken. On the Kcbcl right they have lost the bridge over the creek, which was carried after a hard fight, ami Hunisidu has crossed with all the forces. The result ofthe day's fight, therefore, i; that the lb bcls have every w here lost ground their position is contracted, both thinks at tacked with success, and their rear and only line of retreat set iou ly threatened. After the brilliant victory on Sunday at South .Mountain, near Midttletowu, -McClellan pushed his army rapidly forward, send ing cavalry ami artillery out on the llagcrs towii road, Hurnside through Fox Gap to the hharpsburg road, ami tho rest of his forces through Hoouesboro to Keedysville, and thence towards Sharpshurg. On the crest ofthe hill this side of Sharps burg, the enemy were discovered iu great force. Their troops had been brought tlowu from Ilagerstown, up from Harper' Ferry, ami part ofthe army field in Virginia as re serve. Lee, Jackson, Longslrcet, Hill, and all tho best Generals left with them were there, mid with all of their best troops. Lxctpt occasional artillery contests, the armie faced each other iu iiuict during the rest on Monday. On Tuesday there was no movement on our side till towards night. The Utbcls had kept butteries in position, but their in fantry wa withdrawn from view and it was still uncertain whether they were rttriating or rcinfortii''. About four o'cHck in (ho nften Tuesday Hooker v !" r.rdtnd M en ticlam creek, at the upper ford on t'' rht. with his whole corps, attack the 's left mid occupy a pre-! '-vr on ' : He crossed without oppo'tuon, ' I.1; IV cavalry skirmishes who were speedily driven back, and (hen, advancing with his whole force about six o'clock, took possession of strong ground, close lo the Kelicls left, and immediately became engaged with artillery and infantry. Iiarkness en. ltd the light w ith slight io-s on either side. Hooker earn ing and holding the woods from which the enemy's lirst lire came. There were constant alarms during Hi.: night, the hostile pickets bi ingVlose to each other till along the line. Karly in tho even ing the Hrln Is took to fighting among them selves, and several heavy volleys weru de livered there before they discovi red their mistake. At daybreak tho fight was renewed sud denly and vehemently, both sides opening lire together. The number nnd position of the Kcbcl batteries the evening before had disclosed that they were in great force on the right, and word had been sent to Me- I ('',,mn ' advance Sumner's Corps durin th" rng'ht. It did not arrive on tho field till "'no ,llP morning. Mi t'lellan's plan of battle Was briefly as f"Hws: Hooker was t fro.) the creek nn . the right, as Ix fore stated ; Sumner, Frank- ,in "J"1 Mansfield to co-operale with and j sustain his attack. In front tho Latteries were to push forward w ith infantry supports m l an effort to be made to earrv the heights on the left. Hurnsido wus to cross the creek by the bridge, and attack the Ht-bel right, moving on Sharpshurg also, which w as iu their rear, and thus cut oil' their re tnat. l'orter and Sykes were held in re si i Th" plan if me(Vs;-!''il. must result not merely in tho defeat nut the destruction or surrender ofthe JJebel army. The ground is peculiar. The licbel line was formed on n rrerrnt shaped ridge, w hich i-i front slopes down into an undulating valley irrcgulaly broken by connecting ranges of hills. Behind the crest the Kcbcl army lay in unevcti and strong positions, sheltered by ridges and hills, and especially strong on the Hanks. Antii tam Creek, r. stream to deep to be ford ed except in very few places, sweep by the base of their position and protected it "from assault. McClcllan's forces were first formed in front, and afterward throw n to the right and left. There is little or no ground on our j side cipul in height to the Kcbcl position, j Hooker sustained, unaided, the attack on i the licbel left forte nearly four hours. His line had been formed the night before, and ; fought to-day in the same or.h r. i'ickctt's I Division was on the left. Meude's I'ennsyl l vania Kcscrvos in the centre, Doubled.iys" Division on the right. The.-.e terms nre. of t .. course, to lie understood as rtlerring onlv to M,ml;cr 's line, not the whole field. There was artillery at ail points. Mta.le g'.iucd ground iu his lirst attack. i Kicketts also went forward through the w ood, in his front, ami 1 loubleday, w it h his guns. In Id front against a heavy cannonade. Meade advancing, finally met a heavy body of fresh troops thrown suddenly and vigor ' ou-lv against him, and w as driven back over ; part of the ground he had just won. ltick ( i tl's line was at the same time hard pressed ' and became deranged. Mansfield, w ho had ' come over the creek the night before, was 'ordered into woodsto lticketts' support, and i Hartsulf's Brigade, part of Doubldav's com ' maud, was sent tu sustain Meade. Mansfield . took the gie.iiest part of his troops to Kick ! ctts" help, but they were unable to extend their line, and in the ctl'ort to push forward j his men, (icncral Mansfield was mortally I wounded. General llartstulV advanced to : the relief of Meade with the 12th and Flth Massachusetts and smother regiment. The Pennsylvania troops were retiring in haste land some confusion. Hart-mif seized a i bridge in front of the field over w hit h the j Ki bt Is were pressing, and hi 1.1 it in .splendid I st vie for more than half nn hour against a I greatly superior attack. Hia men behaved most gallantlv, standing on the exposed ground firing steadily and uever .wavering once. General Ilart-lufTwas very fcveivlv wound ed. His troops retained their position, mid : finally, by the precision and rapiditv ol their I I tire, compelling the enemy to retrmt instant j ly, advanced iti jmr.-tiit. While th.y had I been engaged Hooker or It-red up Crawford's j ami t i.ir.lon s lingades to their support. ilartsluff n taincd thu advance, and Craw ifor.l and Gordon followed in support. A j Kcbcl battery on the right, which hud been j most anuoving by an ialilading tire was j about the same tilm; silenced by Donbl, d..y's : guns, and Hooker ordered, his whole line forward. I The Kebels were driven through the corn j -field again into the woods beyond where I they could not easily be dislodged w itli- out artillery. Gen. Hooker, w ho all the morning had kept him-tlf under tire uud i generally iu the hottest of it, rode forwtud to examine the ground in front in order to plant a battery. As lie rodo up the hill he became a con-picuous mark tor the Kcbcl sharpshooter ; their tile incl eased very it;d- deftly an.l Gen. Hooker was Wounded ill the i left foot, a bullet passing entirely through it. I lie wound w is excessively severe uud pain ful, iiuil he was compelled to leave thu field. Three men were shot tlowu by hi uide ut the same moment he was wounded. I'p to this time the attack ha been u success. The hardest fought ground was iu the undisputed posscs-iou of llooktr ' troop and his Let order, as he was heme lio in the field, was that Crawford's uud Gordon' Hrigadcs should imuicdiuUly advance ujd carry the wood to the right. The whole line had gone forward wilh the, wildest cheering and everything looked like it cc-iu-l I'-tc ami speedy succisS. At this foiluuate moment General Sumner arrived on the field at the head of his vettiiiu euros. Funning the foi card movement, l.o let! his nuu im mediately against the KcIk.1 line uud to the support of Craw forth Sedgwick' Division, the flower of the Peninsula uriuy, udvunecd on tho right, Kichartlsou und Freuch, ut a considerable intvrval, ou the left. Thu tilst volley from Scdgw ick' troop wa trtuieu tlous, but it was answered by a heavitr out Crawford had found the Kebels iu great force iu the woods, nnd was ulrcady iu u-ed of assistance. Sedgwick's tlan aUo became exposed on the hit in coiiseipicni e of the distance between him and t lie other divi sion. The Kebels perceived their advantage ; nnd at the same time pressing Craw ford iiud attacking ou Scdgw ick'n broke Crawford' line, whit h fell bin k in confusion on Sedg wick.

General Sumner found himself oblig, d by this tvvi rse to withdraw his lines to their lir-t position, where bo held them firmly. He had been exposed during nil the lu'titm lo the hottest of tlnj lire. Colonel Kevere of his stall', was wounded in the arm ; Captain Audenried iu the leg. General FranlJin arrived with his corps about one o'clock, sending General Slocutu's Division to the left and "in trout, (icncral Smith's was advanced over t'.ie same ground that had ju.-t been lost. His gallant" Maino and Vermont troops went in nt double quick, driving the Kebels before them, and on the fences and beyond the woods, nnd again took the point, this lime not to bo given up. This was accomplished by 3 o'clock. Meanwhile the forcer in front of (he whole: Hue had been gaining some ground. Hard lighting all along tin: line has continued at intervals through the day. French and Slocuiu were well toward the centre. It was time to hear from Hurn-ide, who had been long delayed in his cll'ort to carry the bridge. At four o'clock, McC'h Urin sent orders to Hurnside to cross tit once, at all hazards, and capture or silence the battery in front. The bridge was captured in gallant style, but with loss of Colonel Kingsbury and 3oM killed and wounded. Hurnside, when once across advanced on the Kubel right, along the Sharpsburg road and up t lie slopes of the hill. A position of great importance was carried at first by his impetuous attack, but was afterw ard abandoned, as the Kebels were able to bring ten heavy masses of troops from the centre and left to opposa Hurnside. Our attack on tho left having ceased for the time, Sumner and Franklin were ordered by McClellan to hold their own, and tho advance of Hurnside was relied on to decide the day. Darkness w ns near before he was over the creek, and the force against him too strong for his numbers. He, therefore, vviys oblged to content himself with defend ing the bridge and his position beyond, and the fund attack was postponed till to-morrow. The fire on both .-i.h-s died nwny gradually, and at seven o'clock the baitie wa? over for the day. Its remit I have stated above. It was cvety where dcsperati -ly contested, anil the loss on both side, is very large. Ten Generals on our side ate killed and woune.l.

The following, from a member of General Pope's Si.isf, indicates thu charge ngalu-t Gcmr-l Porter : The b.it tie of Friday was c nuniencctl by Ctiit-ral lleiutelman's Corps, supported by McDowell and Sigl. and resulted, after u continuous combat from t ight in the morn ing until sunset, in our obtaining possession of the field wilh the enemy's" killed .and wouudtd in our hands.

The conduct of Gt m ral Porter gave great dissatisfaction to General Pope ami the army generally.
