The Richmond Dispatch thus pitchesinto Harper'a so-called "Journal ofCivilisation." How any Southern, Irishor Roman Oatholio family can patronizethia slanderous, villifying and untruthfulpaper, is more than we can comprehend:"In Harper's Weekly, of prospectivedate May 10, is a pioture styled 'NegroesHiding in the Swamps of Louisiana,' byShepparrL This is put forth as compa¬nion of another styled 'The Louisiana

Murders.Gathering the Dead andWounded.' The Southem reader will beastonished to see such a piotare as thatof the' 'Riders' attributed to Mr. Shep-pard, of this oity- who has never prosti¬tuted his talents to subserve the purposesot 'scurvy politicians;' but what will thesame reader think when he learns thatthe pioture in. question appeared about,two years ago in Every Saturday, a pic¬torial paper, which has since.been dis¬continued? It was drawn by Mr. Shep-pard, as we happen to know, for thatpaper, and was Btyled 'Timber*Gettersin the Dismal Swampr A more oontent-ed act of Africans are seldom met with.Thoy are cooking and jolUGoating, andthe pile of timber stands near the cookand the tents, and the reoroationiets'countenances are indicative of negrobliss. It is one of the happiest designsto show, negro life in the DismalSwamp,but could by no possibility answer for'Hidera in the Swamps of Louisiana'from the wrath of .the whites. Thisfraud ia one of the meanest ever prac¬ticed by publishers.* The Harpers, togratify their vlndiotive disposition byinflaming the Northern mind ag&inat theSouth, seize upon Mr. Sheppard's draw¬ing, and make it represent a scene alto¬gether imaginary. They Bhow a diabo¬lical spirit towards their white fellow-oitizone in Louisiana, and foist opon theSublio a work of art intended for an en-rely different purpose, to the gros«wrong of a gifted artist, who oould notbe induced by money to make a drawingfor any inch object as to libel his ownpeople."The other picture, of 'The Louisiana

Murders.Gathering the Dead .and;Wounded,' we suppose, I« just as farfrom trnthfulnoes as a pioture of thescenes in Louisiana as is that of the.Hiders,' whioh was a real picture of.Timber-Getters' here in Virginia. Couldthere be a more detestable object thanthat which these pioture« were printedin a widely-circulatod paper? the stirringop strife In the bosom of a nation justont of a bloody civil war, and endeavor¬ing now to resume its former conditionof peaoa and harmony. Such an actshould be sufficient to damn the Harpersamongst all honest people. It showsclearly how the system of inflaming theNorthern public mind by false picturesand false statements of Southern out¬rages has: been pursued with the tenacityof th« bloodhound and the malioe of theThug. How suoh feelings oan be solong fostered and so pertinaciously anddevilishly oarried out by acts, we cannotunderstand. It would seem to be againsthuman nature. As Mr. Toombs, ofGeorgia, said, the Southern indignationat the wrongs done in this wsr of maliceso disastrously waged against the Southsince the war of blood, bad been weariedand Worn ont. It had been exhausted,and men turned away from it unable tokeep'it alive, and sought relief in theirdaily avocations. Then, how is it thatour persecutors oan still oontinue theirnefarious war? There is only one wayto account for it.it pays. It is fosteredand oherished by avarioe. The offices,the jobs, the plunder of the Government,:are continued in the hands that nowhave them by the war of fraud, falsehoodand hate. That keeps alive this war.which, withont this reward to the sordidhearts of those who wage it,*would beouded in a day."

Capt. Hall died lastsummer. The Tigress is hourly expectedat St. Johns.

(Signed,) F. N. MALLOY,United'States Consul.New York, May 10..A speoial from

St. John's, Newfoundland, to day, says:The steamer Walrus arrived from theI seal fishery, at St. John's, this morning,bringing news that the steamer Tigresshad oome into Bay Roberts, eighteenI miles from here, having on board nine-I teen-survivors of Hall's Arctic expedition.A correspondent immediately started forBay Roberts to learn the full particulars.The Tigress was at anohor, and therescued men were assembled on deck.They furnished the following deeplythrilling narrative of the adventures ofthe expedition, the death of CaptainHall, and the final escape of the sur¬vivors, who were taken from the icebergby the Tigress, on the 30th of April last,in latitude 50.30, after having spent 196days on the floe. The following are thenames of the resoued: H. C. Tyson,assistant navigator; Frederick Meyer,meteorologist; John Heron, steward; W.O. Kröger, Fred. Jamka, Wm. Ninde-mann, Fred. Antinig, Gustavus T. Lin-Juist and Peter Johnston, seamen; Wm.aokson, cook; Esquimaux Joe, inter-Ereter, his wife Hannah and child;Isqoimaux Hans Christian, of Kane'sexpedition, hia wife and four children,the youngest only eight months eld.This party, which had been landed fromthe Polaris, were driven from btor by agale, whioh burst her moorings, on the15th of October, 1872, in latitude 72.35.When they last saw the Polaris, she wasunder steam and canvas, making for aharbor on the East side of Northumber¬land Island. She had no boats left ofthe six whioh she brought with her fromNew York. Two were lost in the North¬ern expedition, two were landed on theioe with Captain Tyson's party, one wasburnt as fire-wood, tojnake water for thecrew, and the other is on board thoTigress. The Polaris was in commandof Captain Buddington, who had thir¬teen of tho crow along with him, and aplentiful stock of provisions. She wasmaking a good deal of water, bat, asCaptain Tyson informed the correspond¬ent, Bhe was not more leaky than whenhe was on board all tho previous fall andwinter. The Polaris was somewhat da¬maged, and it is the opinion of the sur¬vivors they will be unable io get clearuntil July; and even then, if the ship ibanseaworthy, they should have to makenew boats to effoot an escape. On the8th of October, 1871, in latitude 81.33;longitude 61.44, Captain Hall died ofapoplexy, and was buried on shore,where they erected a wood cross to markhis grave. He had recently returnedfrom the Northern eledgo expedition, inwhioh he had attained a latitude of 31.16.He seemed in his usual health, and hadoalled the crew into the cabin to encou¬rage them with hopes of future rewards,and stimulate- them to renewed exertion,when be was suddenly struck down andexpired, to the great grief of thosearound, to whom he had endeared him¬self by his kindness and devotion. InSeptember, 1871, the Polaris enteredwinter quarters, and left August 12,1872. The ioe was very heavy, and setin a Southern di rootion. She was forcedSouth, and so continued drifting, tillCaptain Tyson and party were drivenfrom her. * The sleage party crossed

The following atatement was famishedthe correspondent by Capt, Tyson: OnAugust 27, 1871, we left Tissinsao, nodwent through Smith's Bound. We suc¬ceeded in getting as far North as latitude32.16, when we returned and wintered atPolaris Bay, latitude 81.30, longitude61.a*. We were frozen up until the 6thof September. Ou the 10th of October,Capt. Hall started on a sledge journeyNorth, and returned on the 2itb, whenhe was taken sick, and died on the 8th,of November. He was buried on the11th. Thoattaok that carried him offwas said to be apoplexy. We passed thewinter at Polaris Bay. Ou the 8th ofJune, 1872, we attempted to reach fur¬ther North with two boals. We hauledour other boat on shore, and returnedover-laud. Ou tho 8th of July, we start¬ed for home. On the 12th of Augustand on the 15th, we were beset with icein latitude 80.02. We drifted from theredown to latitude 77.35, when we encoun¬tered a heavy South-west gale, the shipbfing under heavy pressure. Ou thenight of the 15th, we commenood land¬ing provisions, &c, on the ice, the ves¬sel being reported leaking very badly attimes. We continued landing provi¬sions for two or three hours, when thepressure ceased. I went on board thevessel, and atiked the sailing master ifthe vessel was making any more waterthan usual. He reported she was not.I then went to the pumps, and ascer¬tained that ehe was not makingany morethan she was doing all the Bummer. Iwent on the ice again, and shortly afterit began to oraok, and in a few minutesafterwards broke into many pieces. Thevessel broke from her fastenings, andwas soon lost to sight in the darknessand storm. On the broken ioe was mostof our provisions, to sustain the partythrough the winter, and seeing nothingof the vessel, we' attempted to reachshore, in hope of finding natives to as¬sist us in living throunh the winter.Getting abont half-way to shore with ourheavily-laden boats, onr progress be¬came hard by drifting ioe, and I wascompelled to haul on ioe again. At thistime, I succeeded in saving fourteen cansof pemmioan, eleven' and a half bags ofI bread, ten dofen one and two ponndoacs meat and soup, fourteen hams,twenty pounds ohooolate, some muik oxskins, a few blankets, a number of riflesand abundant ammunition. In the morn¬ing, knowing that I had not provisionsI enough, and the articles oi food, cloth-I ing, compass, Ac, on abatement of thegale, I endeavored to shoot as manyseals as possible, both for food, light andfuel, but could only get three, owing tobad weather haying set in. I supposedI the wind to be about South-west.- On itsI clearing np, I found myself within abouteight miles of what I supposed^ to be theJttast ooast, and about thirty or fortymiles below the ship. The ioe beingweak, I could not transport the boatsland provisions to land until it grewstronger. While here, I discovered myother boat, bread, Ac, and saved all.I The ice grew Arm. I made another at¬tempt to reaoh shore,'carrying every -I thing in the boats and dragging them onj their keels. The ioe being very rougb,we stove both boats. We succeeded, onthe 1st of November, in getting abouthalf-way to shore. Night came on ub,and very stormy weather. In the morn-I ing, the ioe was broken; wo were driftingI Southward very fast; we saw no morelaud for many days; bad weather conti¬nuing all through the month of Novem-I ber. We built a snow-bouse, and madeourselves as comfortable as we could.We were ten white men, two Esquimaux,I two women and five children, in all. Wesucceeded in killing a few seals, whichfurnished us with light sod fuel, withwhich to warm our scanty allowance offood. Through the darkness of theArctic winter, in the latter part of Feb¬ruary, we lived principally upon bird?,and in March commenced catching seals;through that month, we supported our¬selves ou bears' and seals' flesh, wastingneither skin nor eutrails. We collectedenough food in this way to last until themiddle of May, had we not been drivento sea by a strong Westerly galo, in thelatter part of March, out floo piecebeing then reduced from five miles incircumference to about twonty yards indiameter. We left tho piece on the 1stof April, and abandoned nearly ail ourmeat, a large amount of ammunition,clothing, skins and other articles, taking.portion of tho meat in the boat, whiohwo wero obliged to throw overboard, onaccount of the boat's beiug so deeplyladen. I regained the outer edge of thepack of ice on tho 8d of April, andsucceeded in getting a little further inon tho pack. On the 4th ol that mouth,a heavy North-east gale set in, a heavyeea running under the ice, whioh brokeit in small, pieces; so we had to live ousmall pans, as we could not put tho boatout; neither could we find seals for food,and we wero rednoed almost to starva¬tion. On the 21st of April, we sighteda polar bear. Every person was orderedto Ho down and imitate a seal, while twoEsquimaux seoreted themselves behinda piece of ioe. On getting the bearnear enough, we killed him. A few daysafter we got our boat in water, and weworked our way West and South-west,;and ooutinued tu work every opportunityto tho Westward, in hopes of reachingLabrador coast, and getting temporaryrelief. We were picked up by the steam¬ship Tigress on the 30th of April, inlatitude 53 35 North, longitude 55 West,

without, boats, having lost two in tryingto get North in the spring of 1872. TheTigress fell in with the party in a densefog, and providentially atrack the veryfloe, oh which they were; otherwise, theymuet have perished.. They seem tolera¬bly well. Captain Tyson complained ofswelled, legs, and feet, but nothing seri¬ous ie the matter with him. When theyleft the Polaris» all oh board were in goodhealth.* In reference to the way inwhich the Polaris got away from tho:>arty, which Was rescued from off thectberg, Captain Tyson states Mast hefelt a little anxiety at first, but thinkingshe wonld soon come to their relief, I setmy colors, he said, as she stood downalong the shore; bnt the vessel waa sponlost to sight in a bend of land; and beingwhat I took to be NorthumberlandIsland. The piece I was on commenceddrifting Southward. As the wind hauledto the North-east, opening a little bayto the North-east of NorthumberlandIsland, I saw tho vessel in the harborthere; her sails were farled; no smokewas issuing from- her smoke-stack, thatI could see.- I then attempted to bringmy boat across the floe in an Easterlydirection, hoping to find water and reachshore. I succeeded in dragging oneboat across, took water, and attemptedto roach the shore, some distanco belowthe vessel. We were thon drifting veryfast, and a gale was blowing fresh, withgreat violence, from the North-ea-jt,and snowing very fast and drifting. Iwas driven baok on the ice again, andcompelled to pull my boat out. Nightclosed on me, and carried us to theSouth-west. In the morning, we wereabout thirty miles South-west o" wherethe ship went in the harbor. A heavysea waa running, whioh broke up myfloe, a pieae separating us from six bagsof bread and a boat. I saw the vesselunder steam and canvas, rounding apoint to the North-west. Thinking shewould oome to our relief, I gave myselfno anxiety; but we were soon doomed todisappointment; and from that time tillthe Tigress rescued us, we never got aglimpse of the Polaris.Washington, May 10..Despatchesindicate that DeBlanche has disappearedfrom before St. Martinsville.
