number killed by the accident on the
Grand Trunk Railroad was sixty-nine, viz:
thirteen men, nineteen women, sixteen
boys and twenty-one girls. This last dis
covery was effected by the removal of the
second car. As it swung round oh its chain,
a mass Of eight bodies, as closely packed as
they could we'll be, became apparent. The
lower tier consisted of children and
young man, while above them were two
a well built man, of powerful frame, who
lay on his back, with a car-wheel resting
on his throat, completely concealing his
face from view. The probabilities are, that
it was so shattered by the wheel as to be
unrecognizable. One of his hands lay by
his side and was quite black with blood. It
is supposed that from twenty to thirty
bodies are still in the river.

few years ago was the ticket agent OF
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad at Gin

iouish no one more than himself"
Shocking, and disgusting as it is TO you,
Mr. Mtcligencer, that a man should be
selected for the President of these United
States, who has once made an honest liv-
ing by 6cing tieket-agent of railroad
in opposition to fourth rate pettifoging
lawyer, from Springfield HI. you with
the rest of the kid glove, silk-stocking
gentry, will have to stand it. General
Mcclellan was nominated by the largest
convention ever held in this country, 100
00J Democrats being present, who intend
to elect him,-and. as the motto Of your
party, at least majority of them since
! the war commenced, has been 'sthat dis
cretien is the better part of valor," We
would advise gentlemen of your calibre
| for their own sakes, TO not expose them
selves to ridicule by bringing forward {
mans poverty as charge against him.

Lincoln and Johnston Rati-
icatE0E9 Meeting!

The first Abolition meeting Of the
campaign, came fiat the Court House in
this place, on last Friday evening. Hon.
Benz. s Cowen, as usual came down from
St. Clairsville Gas he does every year, to
tell the Abelitionists, in this region how
to vote. Bills were posted, and all the
Loyat(e) duly notified.
At the ringing of the bell, the Lin
colnites assembled themselves, in full
force, after they got in, absut an equa
number of Democrats came, which all
together filled the Court House about
half full,-about half as many as Pro-
fessor Sands had the preceding night,
in attendance at his exhibition of Spirit
ualism, Ventriloquism and sleight oil hand
performances.
Judge Cowen made decided failure.
His speech was tissue Of lalsehoods
from beginning to end He said there
was not better man on Gods green earth
than President Lincoln-that General
Mcclellan was a nobody-that all op-
posed to the draft are towards and trai-
itors-that the Democrats Of Belmont
County are armed and openly avow their
determination to resist the draft-that
Hen. Grants campaign has been sue
cess. Gle did not say anything about
the 15O,0 slaughtered men, which
Grant lost in reaching his present posi-
tion) that is was exceedingly disloyal to
egret the death Of father, brother, OF
riend slain in our army.
There was no enthusiasm, no cheering
nothing of the kind, except two or three
times Edward Archbold, Esq. (Presidcnt
Of the meeting) would give stamp will
his foot, and the boys outside wou.i hur
rah Tor Mcclellan!
After Judge Cewen closed his speech
the meeting adjourned, everybody LOCK
