r great strategic line, whereby the Confederate States will be separated, and rendered unable to aid each other. Capt. Hayes's Arctic expedition. Nothing has been heard of the Arctic expedition which sailed about a year ago, under Captain Captain Hayes, since last fall. The New York Commercial says that at that time the captain was on the coast of Greenland, at a point about sixty miles north of Upper Navawick. From that place he sailed northward in the route pursued by Dr. Kane. The expedition may be looked for during the next month, and probably the first intelligence from them will be brought by Dr. Hayes himself, unless the expedition of Hall, which started at nearly the same time, brings back some intelligence on their return. If Capt. Hayes does not return before the end of October, it is more than probable that he will have gone into winter quarters in some portion of the Upper Arctic regions. He has plenty of provisions, as he was obliged to land a large quantity on
