A SAD AcCIpENT.-Our village was
startled on Friday afternoon last, by the
announcement of most sad and distress
ing accident at Claremont, N. H., by which
Charles Woods, son of DR.. o. f. Woods
Of this village, was so badly injured that
both legs had to be amputated below the
knees. He was standing in the baggage
car when the train was approaching the
station at Claremont, and by some means
fell, and three passenger cars passed over
his legs, horribly mutilating them and re-
curing immediate amputation. Fortunate
ly there happened to be several excellent
surgeons and physicians on the train, who
had their instruments with them, and i'm
mediaiely offered their services, and were
at work in a few moments, the amputation
being performed in a baggage car. Among
these surgeons were, Prof. ID. s. Conant of
New York, who performed the ,amputation,
assisted by DR.. Foster, an army surgeon,
and DIR. McNab of Wells River, who ad-
minisiered the chloroform. Charley was
then brought down on the train, and it was
subject of general remark that he bore
the accident with the greatest courage and
fortitude. Before the train had arrived,
Rev. DIR. Adams, Presbyterian clergy
man of New York city, started a collection
among the passengers, and purse of $40
was raised, himself giving $50, for his ben
eft. Charley is a. smart, active lad of
about 4 years of age, the newsboy of our
village, serving the daily papers, morning,
noon and evening, and the absence of no
boy in our village would be so much no.
tcpd. He was on the train selling papers
al the time of the accident, and was in
tending to Jun but one day more. On Sum
day ore of the arteties gave way, and be-
fore il could be thoroughly stopped. he lost
considerable HOOD which Of course weak

expected, though but slight hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery. as his suf,rings
are very great. In connection with this,
we may add that his older brother, George,
crippled in early life, by fever sore, has
been sick several weeks with typhoid fever,
and had just begun to recover when the
terrible accident happened to his brother,
and he is so affected ty ii that his recovery
is doubtless retarded. DR.. Woods and his
family have thus been thrown into the deep
est distress by this most sad disaster; and
it is but faint expression of The general
feeling in our village, to say that they have
the deepest sympathy of our entire COM

New York, June 1.-THE Herald s
Baltimore dispatch dated 10 clock last
night says the rebel movement now in
progress toward the North is being made
by Lees whole army. The advance is
led by Ewell with Jacksons old corps of
two divisions-l8,5 800 men. The third
division had not come up. Lee, with
Hill and Longstreet's corps is also NOV

with Ewell, but at present is keeping be-
tween Ewell aud Hooker, Martinsburg

Number two left Culpepper Court House

Ohio into Kentucky. Number three was
to proceed by way of Winchester and
Harper..s Ferry into Maryland and Penn

This last division of the rebel army is
composed very largely of cavalry and
mounted artillery.
Richmond is for the present abandon

and new levies will be brought there in
sufficient numbers to garrison the de-

New YORK, June IA Headquar-

south of the Ocoquan is left to the EN-
envy.
1t is reported that the rebel cavalry
are at Chambersburg, and that the enc
my appeared at Brook Satation, miles
from Acquia.
The rebels will undoubtedly follow US
closely, though an engagement with the
pursuing forces is not anticipated. It
will probably be improper to state where
our next line of defense will be, although
the enemy will doubtless know before
the public.
Hooker is Fastening with his entire
army to the defence of Washington and
will occupy position best adapted to
to defeat the plans of Lee.
To-day all is quiet Whether Lee will
attack US or attempt another expert
ment in Maryland, remains to be deter
mined. In few hours we shall be
ready for him and the fate of the rebel
army in Virginia may be decided in a
few days ..- :
Lee undoubtedly has an immense
force between Warrenton and Culpepper
Those left at Fredericksburg, number
ing nearly 10000, will probably be add
