TERRIBLE AcoIDENT.-We are panied
to hear that our esteemed friend George
E. Greene, editor of the Vincennes Sun,
met with an accident last Friday, which,
we learn, will cost him an arm, if not his
life He had gone out hunting; in get
ting out of the buggy he put the breech
of his gun on the ground and his hand
on the muzzle, and as he jumped down
his foot struck the hammer and dis
charged the load through the palm of his
hand, mangling it terribly. We are told
that his suferings are circulating.

WASHINGTON, Oct 11.-Intelligence Of
an authentic character did not reach
Washington till last night that the rebels
had abandoned the line of the Rapidan
and retreated southwark
On the fact being made known yester-
day morning at Gen. Meades headquar-
tiers, General Bnford' cavalry was sent
across the river. g
The enemys evacuation had been
completed. On proceeding inland he
came upon portion of Stuart cavalry,
evidently covering the retreat of. the
rebel infantry Considerable skirInsh
ing ensued, but it did not result III our
ascertaining whether the enemy was fall
! ing back from Gofdonsville, or whether
it was attempting some flank movement
to get between Meade's army and Wash
! ington, in a similar manner to StOnewall
Jackson's movement on Pope over the
same ground.
The prevailing impression seems to be
that the rebels have gons 70 Gordonsyille
and Richmond, where sufficient garri-
sons may be left, and the remainder of
Lees army has been sent to reinforce
Bragg and Beauregard If. on the con-
trary, the enemy is attempting a flank
movement, our forces are fully prepared
for it.
Col. Porter, Commissary at General
Meade's headquarters, has come up to-
night and reports the rebel evacuation of
the line of ten Rap;dan has been most
complete, and has been very rapidly
made.

We knew before, that Mr. JOHN Way
NAN had a great conceit of his own abil-

who was qualified to transact the public

of selfrespect sufficient to restrain him
from sitting as Judge on his own case,
and supposed that he had some regard
for public opinion

when there are more than one precinct in
