Norfolk Virginian Arctic explorers, never daunted by the failure of others in their search of the North Pole or the privations, suffering and death which attend such expeditions, are again preparing to renew the search, and this summer four distinct expeditions will start out from as many directions with the hope of solving the great geographical problem which, from time to time, has claimed the attention of explorers everywhere. The first to start was Lieut. Peary, who left Philadelphia a day or so since, and who will confine operations, first to surveying the Greenland coast. This being done he will push on it possible for the North Pole. Lieut. Peary returned last year, it will be remembered, from an exploration of Greenland, on which occasion he was accompanied hyhis wife who goes with him on this trip also. TheothT three expeditions will commence work from the European or Asiatic Northern coast lines. One of them will be under the command of a Swede named Ekroll, who will leave the eoast of Spitzbergen to-day or to-morrow, in a vesael built for Arctic exploration, and which can be converted into a number of sledges He says he will drive direct for the ple, cross it nd return by Baffin'? bay. The second f these expeditions will be headed by Yauaen, a Norwe gian explorer. Vausen has recently crossed Greenland and he proposes this time to try the dangeious experi ment of letting his ship become' frozen in the ice pack and drift with it two or three- jjears, his theory bsrag that the drift is in the direction of the North pole from the Siberian coast. This feat is regarded as theost per ilous and daring yet attempted. The third of these explorers is Capt. Markham, whogoea out under the patronage of the Royal Geographical Society. Capt. Markham will attempt to reach the pole by stage, taking four years to do so. He will start from Franz Joseph Land fnd work his war northward, and proposes to establish a supply depot 2OO miles of the pole. To do this be calculates it will take two years and the third summer he will plant the Union Jack. Despite the dangers and the fail ures which heretofore have befallen their predecessors, it is wenderful to see how sanguine these uen are and how strong their belief 19 of ultimate success in their undertaking. The fr expeditions aamed ore aP led by men of courage and ex perience and are supplied with all the appliances science and tervice in the polar seas can suggest, and the belief is that ii they do not succeed in reaching the objective point t'ley will at least train much valuable in for. m&tion heretofore not possessed, and it is within the r.inne of possibility that some one of them may break the recora of the 200 years that the world has been trying to find the North Pole. WHEAT. Wheat has touched the lowest price on record fr forty years, and quantifies are now being bought for Europe, This is hnrd on the West. The South also has sora new wheat to sell, for we hnve raised more bread stuffs this vear than usual. But our chief crop being cutton, whioh has been sold and paid fr, the South is not so much affected by the present ow prices as the West, and we are much better off. When the money scare is over, the South will go ahead on an unparallelled career of pros perity, without having had any ser ious set b ick.
