Glorious Triumph in Ohio. In Ohio where there were no collateral is sues to divide the auti Administration vote, the Republicans have gloriously triumphed, elect ing CHASE by about 20,000 majority, and a large majority of the Legislature. Rev. J. M. PF.EBI.ES, preached his farewell sermon at Athens and Sheshequin on Sunday last, says the Wavcrly Advocate. An affecting Address was voted him by the society in Athens, referring in a beautiful man ner to the relationship which had so long ex isted between them, and expressing the warmest solicitude for his future welfare. Wc under stand Mr. Peebles intends going South. SAMCF.I. X. RROXSON* has been appointed Post-Master at Orwell, vice C. G. Gridley, re moved. Mr. (1 RIDLEY'S offence, we believe, consisted in refusing to support Col. PIOI.I.ET for the Legislature, that being with the National Ad ministration, the test of Democratic orthodoxy. FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. —On Tuesday night, the night express train on the New York and Erie railroad, when near the Stockport sta tion, ran off the track, owing to the ueglect of a switch tender, whereby the baggage master, named Gardeuer, was so dreadfully injured that he died soon after, and several passengers were very badly hurt, some of whom, it is said can not recover.

The first port made was St. Johns, Newfoundland, where the expedition was shown every attention by the governor aud inhabitants who allbrded them facilities for obtaining ar ticles required for the expedition. They ol>- tained there eight Labrador dogs for use iu sledging in the snow. They were visited there by the officers of the army and navy. Thev took aboard all the beef they could obtain and marled it. After remaining two days they took their departure, and about the 4th of July they arrived at Fishkenacs, a settlement iu the southern part of Greenland ; Gov. Las sing at this point received them with great hos pitality and afforded them every facility in the purchase of furs and eider-down, Ac. They took on board at this point an Esquimaux man who was to bunt for them. They left Fishken acs and proceeded next to Sukkertoppen, so called from the resemblance of a mountain in the vicinity to a sugar loaf. This place pre sents many beauties of Arctic scenery. They found there a few Danes, and obtained from them an abundant supply of reindeer furs and sealskin coats. They reached next a place called Procven, a place sixty miles south of Upernavik. Here they received the aid of Cliristianson, who is well known in the annals of the Arctic. They obtained additional sup plies there. While they remained there an Esquimaux hall was given in honor of the ex pedition, which was attended quite numerously. Among those present were the governor and his wife and daughter. The ladies were dress ed in pantaloons, presenting a novel appear ance. The members of the cxjiedition joined in the festivities of the occasion. They took on board there twenty Esquimaux dogs. After remaining two or three days tlicy took their departure for Upernavik. On their way they were becalmed for some time within sight of Sanderson's Hoop, a prominent headland south of Upernavik. The cliff is about three thou sand feet high, and can be seen at a distance of a hundred mfles. This cliff is noted also for aw extensive cannery which is on it. They arrived at Upernavik during the last of July, and obtained Mr. Peterson, who had been with (.'apt. Penny as interpreter, for the expedition, for the purpose of managing the sledging by dogs. From Upernavik they pushed on to the north. They met with no ice until they had proceeded considerably north of the Devil's Thumb, which point is regarded by whalers as the point at which they anticipate difficulties in Melville bay. They expected to encounter ice in the bay, but they had a very fortunate passage, they being detained therein only about two weeks. They did but little warping.— They then made the open water, and off (Jape York they came to the north water, so called by sailors, and had a good run thence until the fith of August, when they entered Smith's sound with no prospect of ice, and sailed on until they reached Litteston island in latitude 78 20, which is the highest point reached by Capt. Inglefield in 1852, though he did not land there. The expedition landed at the island and erected a cairn, iu which were de posited letters, in hopes that Capt. lufilefield on his return would find them and convey them to England, to be forwarded thence to Ameri ca. Their fnost important object, however, in landing at Littleton Island was to deposit pro visions and a large metalic life-boat, which, in case disaster should overtake their vessel, they might he able to reach it and by it make their return to Greenland. From Littleton Island they saw the first block of ice. They then pushed on north, and the first ice they met with was in latitude 78 32. The morning was foggy and as the icebergs were floating by in considerable numbers they sent out a boat to look for a harbor. A small harbor was found on the coast, where the vessel was moored, and boat parties were sent ahead to see if there was any possible chance of getting any further. Iu a few days a chance presented itself, the ice having somewhat opened, and they pressed on by means of warping and made that day about fifteen miles, passing three small islands or rocks, none of which exceeded a hundred feet in diameter. Afterward being compelled to return to these islands by reason of lying in an exposed position, they afforded them a sort of shelter. A gale came on subsequently which parted the hausers with which they were moored to the rocks and they were driven to sea. The gale was blowing quite heavy, and they were placed in considerable danger, as they were running before the wind amid ice i bergs aud large pieces of ice, one of which struck the vessel's quarter and stove in their bulwarks. They escaped further danger and again made for the north as fast as they coul.m tlieni, preventing them from doing any work whatever. The first Winter which this expedition ex perienced is remarkable for being one of the severest and longest in darkness ever experi enced by civilized man. When the cold higaa to increase it was 10 dogs, below zero early in September, and as the season began to ad vance, although it proved to be a miich milder Winter than many described by the natives, 43, 50 aud even 00 degs. below zer-> was re corded. Early in November, if not on the last of October, at a temperature of 4i dig. below zero, old Monongahela whisky—so fam ous for its strength—was converted into ice. A portion of the first Winter passed very smoothly. It was a period of rest and amu- - ment ; but as the light began to dawn aad the Spring to draw nigh, preparations were made for sledging. As early as the middle of March a party was sent out for the purpose of reaching the west shore. The cold was intense, and the great obstacle was the hammocks that obstruct ed the progress of the travelers. Later in the Spring, when the weather be came warmer, another party started which was led on by Dr. Kane. They set out with dee ami sledges ; crossed the sound and rctuninl safely. Early in the spring the New-Foundland dogs were exceedingly useful in carrying bur dens; they were indeed invaluable lor diort excursions ; six of them would draw a burden varying from five hundred to eight hundred pounds, at a dog trot of four miles an hour They would travel thirty miles a day for Sev eral days in succession. These dogs, however, were not adapted for this climate, and the fir.-'. Wiuter only two of them survived. Most o: theiu died in convulsions, apparently suffering j from lock-jaw. ] During the first Winter a young man of I great res[>cctability, who had voluutivred ■■■• services in the expedition, Jefferson T. Ibser of Philadelphia, and another named Port Schubert, died. This was in the fore part o. March, 1354. They were buried in a i island, and a cairn was erected over tui:r re mains. Letters were also buried with them to indicate their identity. f In July, as the prospect of getting out the ice seemed to be very distant, Pr. Kan planned a party, of which he took the ecu maud, to Beecliy Island to communicate w.: the English. lie met the ice off C'aj>e IT"? —evidently the Upale and Wahtenliohn- -un pack—at J one's sound.
