Shocking Accident in soarsport.

Last Saturday week, very shocking ac-
cidcnt occurred in Searport, the facts Of
which are US follows: A son OF Mr.. Hart
ford Of that town, aged some II years, went
on cunning excursion . day or two pre-
yous, and returned home with his gun
loaded with ball taking OF the cap be set
IL away in tho house. On Saturday after
noon Mrs. Hartford went out TO call ut q
ncigohors, leaving younger son, frnck.
aged ten years, little girl, Ida, aged three
years, and another little boy still younger.
Soon alter she left. the boy; Francis. went
into the room where the gun was, and going
to trunk took out cap. and pattipg itup-
on the gun, exclaimed TO the other children
in theadjoining room, that he WAS going to
ire the gun-meaning. doubtless, that he was
going To explode the cap, not suspcctmg that
the gun was loaded. Tho other children
started to run into the rom to zee him fire,
and just as the little girl, Ida. came In range
the gun went Oh and the ball struck tho
upper part Of her forehead. passing through
her skulland through the cellar door opposite.
The little girl uttered scream and fell TO
the floor, and the boy dropped the gun and
caught her up in his arms, placed Der In
chair and ran for his mother. She lived
about ten minutes. A gentleman describes
the corpse Of the little girl as very beautiful,
scarcely any indications Of the wound being
seen on the forehead, except where the ball
entered. The little brother who thus caro-
lcssly and thoughtlessly slew his little sister
Is described rs suffering great agony and
nearly thrown into fts.-Prcgressir Age.

The Rebel Retreat from the Potomac
rs Explained by the Rebels.

The most important movements that ever
occurred on this continent are now going on
before our eyes. The brilliant and astonish-
ing success Of the Virginia, in the waters Of
Hampton Roads, opens new chapter in ma
val warfare, and marks new era in tho
struggle which the South are engaged in
The grand movement Of the army OF the Po-
tomac, in withdrawing from It's offensive limo
on the river of that name, and assuming
defensive one on the line Of the Rappahan-
mock and Rapidan, places new complexion
on the entire war in Virginia.
The policy Of this change Of position with
reference to the intended attack Of the enc
my is obvious. The Potomac was the proper
base of offensive operations against Maryland
and Washington city but rs u line Of de-
tense for Richmond, or for general resistance,
II is the most dangerous that could be held.
The line upon which the army under Gen.
Joseph Johnston Is now falling back is in
the nature of the arc Of circle. OF which
Richmond Is the centre. Tho enemy Is put
to the necessity Of marching considerable
distance inland before engaging our iorces.--
IL defeated in general engagement, no can
scarcely escape humiliation for he will then
bc too far FROM the Potomac and FROM WASH
ington city to reach safety by few hours
flight, like that he made after the battle Of
Manassas. II. on the conrary, he should DO
successful in his encounter with our forces,
he could not take advantage Of his victory
on account OF the delay necessary 10 bring up
his supplies from the distant Potomac.
Whoever will take the trouble to examine
the map Of Virginia will End that our line
Of defense, as now adopted, stretches from tho
Rappahannock, by grand circle, to Cum
bcrland Gap. In the extreme southwestern
corner Of the State embracing the Central
and the Virginia and Tennessee Railroads,
the chief ciiieTof Virginia, the valley Of tho
James, with its canals and railroads, within
the circumference, twill be seen too, that
this is purely line Of defence, assumed now
us a necessity, in view Of the great force
which We have, by our supine policy for six
months, permitted the enemy TO marshal and
put in position without disturbance, and at
his leisure and pleasure.
Ii is distressing to give mp 20 largo por-
tion OF Virginia, even for n season, to tho
domination Of the foe, bxi Me MEASURE has
become a srofegic necessity, and Is now tho
surest means of defeating the grand projects
Of tho enemy and insurng tho success Of our
cause. The surprise he will receive from the
magnificent naval occurrences in Hampton
Roads, Iand from the judicious movements Of
our army which has 50 long bsen threaten
ing him before Washington, will be very
great. Mere delay is ruin to him, and con-
