Letter from the Engineer Of the
Kearsage.

The chief engineer of the Kearsage.
two hours after the engagement, writes
as follows:
1--WE have met the celebrated pirate
ALBANIA, and sunk her, after one hour
and thirty minutes hard fighting.
"She came out of Cherbourg about 10
A. NJ, accompanied by the Couronne
French iron-clad). When at about one
mile from us, at eleven o'clock, she com.
nenced firing; we waited twenty min:
utes, until we got the range we wanted,
and then commenced. After fighting one
hour and FIVE minutes, we had the pleas.
ure OF seeing her haul down her flag
(Which had been twice shot DOWN. and
surrender.
"Betorc we could get our two good
boats to her Nhe others we're riddled with
shot) she sunk, beautifully. We had
hard y got warmed up, and were expects
ing to fight several hours. Only three
of our men were wounded one of the
three, quarter gunner, lost an arm
No officer was wounded.
1--WE picked up six officers and 60 or 20
men. Semmes aud his first Lieutenant;
II ell, were either drowned or were pick:
ed up by the English steam yacht
Decrhound, belonging to John Lancaster
of Liverpool. They ran away with all
they saved, after We had asked them to
assist us. Thus have Semmes and about
ten Of his officers sneaked off. probably.
I'VE are now in Cherbourg, sending
her wound men ashore and burying two
Of her dead. We received no damaging
.ot, though we fought some time at
about 500 yards, and ere hulled fifteen
times. Our chain arlnor, put on by ME
over year ago, saved cur boiler from a
rided l00-pounder.
They felt confident of whipping US in
ha!f an hour. We could have whipped
the Florida at the same time, l think.
We beat in speed, and in everything else.
One riAed l00-pouad shot is now in our
bunkers our smokc-pipe is also badly
damaged, also two boats ruined.
The French Admiral and all the off,
GERS who witnessed the action say it was
brilliantly done. The action took place
about seven miles from Cherbourg, and
was viewed by thousands.
I'VE all laughed and talked throughout
the fight, and were perfectly COOL"

FIVE DEATHS AT A TIME-A Frcnch'
man, resolved to get rid Of his life, went
a little before high tide to post by the
sea side. He provided himself with Il
ladder, rope, a pistol, a bundle oil
matches, and vial of poison. Ascend.
ing the ladder, he tied one end to the post
and the other end around his neck, then
took the poison, set his cloths on fire, put
the pistol to his head, and kicked away
the ladder. In kicking away the ladder
he snapped the pistol, so that the ball
missed his head and cut the rope by which
he was suspended; he fell into the sea
thus extinguishing the flames of his cloths
and the sea water which he involunturily
swallowed, counteracted the paison, and
a wave washed him ashore thus, in spite
of his precaution, he remained unchanged
unshot, imprisoned, unburncd and un
drowned.
