Bovine AVarIee-A Cow Feeding on
Greenbneks,

An extremely singular circumstance,
which has no parallel that we are aware OF,
took place yesterday, by which q man lost
S2l4, and 3 COW lost her life As the story
is extraordinary in several respects, We de-
vote some space to the details.
A driver, walking in front Of his herd-
near the Brighton House, in taking some
tobacco from his pocket, inadvertently
dropped roll OF Treasury notes amount
ing TO $40O. One Of the cows, either be-
cause OF hunger or a desire to appropriate
her owners money, picked it and after
adequate mastication, swallowed the pre-
cioUs mOrsel just ut the moment that the
drover, through one of his assistants, be-
came aware Of the fact that he had lost his
money, and that the cowhsd eaten it. An
immediate search discovered some small
pieces Of the notes about the teeth and lips
of the svariciOus ruminant, but deglutition
had placed the money beyond the present
reach Of the owner.
The COW was now too valuable to ba
sold, at least On the hoof. Digested green
backs would hardly pass curreut in Third
street, and yet all he had were in danger Of
becoming thus worthless. He conceived
the notion Of taking them from the sto-
mach Ofthe COW: Proceeding to slaugh-
ter-house, she was killed, the stomach
opened, and tho money found. Thus far
the theory proved success, but the con-
dition of the notes was still such as to rem
der them unfit for the ordinary use of COM
merce.
The mass was washed, Strengthened out,
picked to pieces, overhauled, and minutely
examined There it was, recovered, but
with an immense Of in its appearance and
Dimensions. After cleansing it. the drover
took his money 70 the Collector of Internal
Revenue for the First District where, by
patching, the unfortunate drover succeed
ed IL saving $ls6 out of the four hundred
that had been eaten. The meal was rath-
er an expensive one to both the COW snd
her owner, for it cost the life of one, and
S2l4 Of the pecuniary wealth Of the other
the facts as stated being balanced On the
other side by an extremely singular expe-
rienee and this Paragraph.-Cin. Gazette.

A Rebel account of the Destruction o.
the Albemarle.

A Rebel account of the Destruction Of
the Albemarle.
The Goldsboro IN. g. Journal of No
vember lst, thus describes the destruction
of the Albemarle:
Our informant, who says he was on the
Albemarle at the time as a visitor, and
was somewhat injured by the explosion of
the torpedo, says that in consequence of the
darkness and noise of the storm, the watch
on the Albemsrle knew nothing of the ap-
proach of the enemy till she was close up
on them. The boat was hailed, What
boat is that?" The reply was, "The Albe-
marle's boat" and at this moment the AL
bemarle was struck by the Yankee boat,
on the starboard quarter. In this attempt,
it is thought, the Yankees failed to blow
the Albemsrle through defect in the tor
pedo.
They Immediately swung round their
boat again and were coming down upon
the Albemsrle's bow, when they were
again asked. What boat is thst?" The
reply was, " on will damned soon see, and
on the instant the Albemarle was struck
and the torpedo exploded. By this time
the alarm was general throughout the
ship, and the men rushed to arms and
made for the outside armor, where they
were met by one or two volleys from a
howltzer in the Yankee boat. The Albe-
msrls's men commenced a rapid fire all
around the ship, but they could see nothing
Of the enemy on consequence of the dark
ness. 1t was soon now ascertained that
the torpedo had had the intended effect,
for one of tHr bows of the Albemarle was
stove in and she was rapidly settling
down.
In the meantime the Yankees, in their
confusion, got their boat in the midst of
some logs, fixed around the Albemarle for
her protection, and being unable to extri-
cate her, the whole party, wich the excep-
ton of the captain in command, surren-
dered, torpedo bOst end all
$50 far as we can learn, none of the crew
Of the Albemarle suffered more than few
slight wounds Three of the Yankees are
said to have been wounded. They are re-
ported to be all commissioned and non
commissioned officers volunteers for this
daring undertaking.
The Albemarle went down in few min
utes but the water being shallow, her port
holes are not submerged, and though her
gun deck is a few inches under water, her
guns will command the channel up and
down. The injury she sustained can be
repaired in two or three weeks, including
the raising Of the vessel.

GeneraI Ruller,s CanaI.

This work, while 10 progress, and all
concerning it, cannot fail to be of interest.
From persons we'll acquainted with the
geography of Dutch Gap, through which
the canal is being cut, we have learned
some facts that will enable the reader to
understand the character and magnitude
Of the work Butler has undertaken. The
isthmus with the main land or North bank
of the river, is exactly two hundred
yards across, being eighty feet high on the
western side, and sloping down to the
river on the east. The chanel Of the river
runs against the west side, striking il obli-
ouely. Just of the shore, at this point,
the water is from twelve to fifteen feet
deep. This channel being on tris side
will greatly aid Butler, should he complete
his canal as, had it been on the middle OF
opposite side of the river, he would have
been obliged TO construct huge break
water TO turn the stream into the canal
We learn he Is cutting diagoDaIly through
the isthmus, beginning hundred yards be-
low its narrowest point, and designing to
come out at the point where the chanel
strikes the bank. This viii give his canal,
if ever finished, length of about three
hundred yards.
As We stated on 8 previous occasion, we
have reason to believ that the canal proper
has been begun, the cut to the waters edge
which Is 8 necessary preliminary, having
not yet been more than two-thirds com
pleted.-RiekDsONd Disr1teh, Nov. 3.

Ohio-De aiIs OF the victory.

Ohio, as ever, stands proudly up in the
van of the loyal and brave Union States
She has already furnished more soldiers
to the war for the Union than any ether
State. She has sent Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Mcpherson, ROsecrans, Garfield,
and countless other nobleoffcers to lead the
Union armies. Now she stands proudly
pre-eminent In the grandest victory of the
war-the death-blow TO the rebellion-:he
reelection Of Abraham Lincoln.
We publish below details from twenty
counties in the State, casting one-third its
aggregate vote, and showing net Union
gain of 2,572 on the vote in October, when
the Union ticket carried the State by a.
224 majority. We have also a vast num-
Der of township returns which show large
and uniform Union gains. They justify
US in declaring that the Union majority
in Ohio, on the home vote, will be over
35,OoO-which will be increased by the
soldiers votes to nearly 100000,
Here are the returns, compared with the
majOrities on the State ticket in October:

Ha,Iroad,ng In this Country.

The recent accidents on the New York
g. Erie Rrailroad, and the recent accident
in Indiana, by which a great many lives
were lost, under very trying circumstances,
has auickened into new life the conviction
that is growing more and more wide
spread among the people, that the mana
gers ofrailroAds display reckless disre-
gard of human life in the precautions
which are taken, or rather not taken, that
is criminal as murder ITSELF and that
something should be done either by State
or national legislation to prevent the des-
truetion OF life that takes place. As 8 gen.
eral rule no fears are felt when committing
ones life to q railway train, and yet we
know that on many railroads, there is a
prospect, at least OF lOsingit. This is all
wrong. There are undoubtedly occasional
accidents which are unavoidable, but the
rule seems to be with many railroad man
ayers to call all accidents unavoidable.
The people should demand that greater
precautions be taken TO make life secure,
and that in case of failure to do so, those
who are responsible should be held to a
strict accountability. In the recent scci-
dent on the Erie road, there seems to have
been the greatest of criminality.
According to the New York Herald, st
the point where the accident occurred are
four great dangers of railway travelling
viz: A single track, a steep embankment,
or precipice, a sudden curve and a switch.
On this lamentable occasion it appears that
the switch was turned the wrong way and
locked; that no switch tender was in at
tendance, and never is at this point, and
that two trains were behind their regular
time-one twenty-four and the other two
hours. The twenty-four hour train backed
OH q side track to allow the express train
to pass, and the switch was neglected to be
properly adjusted. The express came
dashing along at tremendous speed, there
is no fsgmsn to warn it of danger, the en-
gineer cannot see the position OF the switch
on account of a curve in the road, and head
long 20 thelocomotive and some half dozen
ca 3, pell-mell, one over the other, down a
precipice forty or fifty feet deep, and part
Of the train into creek.
Such being the condition of affairs, here
is a case of the most obvious criminal neg
lect The accident is one which might
have been avoided. The employment Of a
switch tender, the use of double track,
so that when train runs upon switch,
by accident It does not necessarily run of
the track, or other precautions, would have
saved this great loss OF life. We trust that
the travelling community will be fully
aroused to this reckless criminality of some
raiiraod managers, until the right kind of
legislation, either by the States or Congress,
shall make it safe to travel everywhere
throughout the whole country.
