SHOCKING ACCIDENT. On Saturday even
;og last. about clock, most shocking acct
dent occurred, On the Washington and Alex
andria railroad As Mr. and Mrs. klsh, who
reside on King, near the corner OF Vest street,
with their little daughter We're on their way
home from Washington In q wagon, when
crossing the railroad crack at the Poor House
Lane. the horse became stubborn and refused
20 move 4 locomotive and train coming down
ehe track ran into the wagon, smashing 1t TO
pieces, killing the horse and throwing Mr. and
Mrs Kish and theic daughter out. Mr.. Is.
and his wife fell across the track and were run
OYER by the train, cutting of the eggz Of each
Che little girl had her shoulder dIslocated and
was otherwise seriously injured, and her condl-
zion is considered critical. Mr.. and Mrs klsh
fingered III great agony until yesterday, when
death terminated their suferings.
On Saturday night last, Messrs. Joseph
Horseman and John L. Smith, in passing
through the market square, were pursued by
Ihree ruffians, but they succeeded IN making
their escape. The same night three Of the
butchers stalls, In the market, were broken open
and lot OF meat taken from one OF them. 1t
IS tine the proper authorities had taken steps
TO prevent the constant recurrence OF these
outrages.
The Washington Star states that one or

to their old quarters on the Rappahannock, we

have been burning houses right and left
Among those thus wantonly destroyed, is the
6ne residence Of Mr.. James 0. Harris, ex-
sheriff Of Culpeper county, and the finer resl

The Washington Star says:-''We hear it
stated that the alleged necessity for the recent
retrograde movement Of the army Of the Poto
mac is charged upon the failure Of the corps
of Generals French and Warren to reach until
Friday night last, the position at which they
were ordered to be twenty-four hours sooner;
thus giving the Confederates time TO entrench
themselves, so that it was not deemed prudent

JeG. Davis Message.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF TIE PorohAc,l

HEADQUARTERS AR1r " rhA 1oIoAAO,
January Is.
Richmond papers of this morning have come
to band, the most importan.ant feature Of the
news is JEFF Davis Annual Message. After
briefly referring to the campaign since his last
Annual Mesuge be says The anticipation which
entered With the contest here now ripens into
conviction, which is not ouly shared with us by
the common opinion of neutral nations, but Is
evidently forcing itself upon our enemies them
selves The advent of peace will be hailed with
JOY. Our desils for 1t has never been concealed,
but earnest as has been our wish for peace, and
as great as have baen our sacrifices during the
war, the determination of this people has, with
each succeeding month, more unslterably fixed
to endure any suffering and continue to sacrifice,
however prolonged, until their right Of self-gov-
eminent and the sovereignty of the States shall
have been triumpbantly INDICATED and estab-
lished.
He then refers back to the history and the
day that four Of the S,ates now forming por-
ton of the ConfederacY, we're recognized as in
dependent sovereignties By the two great mari
time powers Of Europe, in q treaty of peace
concluded in 1888
He reviews the prosperity of the Confedera-
ton and the ultimate reunion Of the States, and
asserts the Confed of the Union, with the
when in their judgment their safety and honor
require such step.
He spoke of the early determination of Eng.
land, France, and other European powers, to
conine themselves to recognizing the event of
the fact of the existence of strict neutrality du
ring the progress Of the war-but draws from
this conclusion that their course of action was
but an actual decision against the South in favor
of the Union, and At the same time tending to
prolong hostilities. -. ;
He complains of the injustice of the Europe
ans. In other matters, citing to the conclusion
Of treaty with the United States for the abol-
ishment of privateering, thus preventing the
Confederates from disposing OF, in foreign ports,
the prizes that their privateecs have captured.
This he thinks directly aimed at the success
of the Confederacy; Notwithstanding the re-
peated circumstances of the Confederacy to
the neutrsls and their own admission as to the
inef6ciency of the Federal blockade, neutral
Europe has received these reuonstrances in al
most unbroken silence while we submit to the
wrong reflected on us by the United States.
He says in relation to Lincoln's emancipation
proclamation. he may we'll leave it to the in
stincts Of that common humanity which ben
e6cent Creator mas implanted in the breasts of
our fellow men of all countries to pass judg-
ment on measure, of which several millions
of contented laborers in their sphere are DOOM
ed to determination, while at the same time they
are encouraged the general determination Of
their masters by the ingenious recommendation
to abstaih from violence unless in necessary

FOREIGN TRIBUTE TO The GALLAyrRY or oos
TRooPs.-A Rappahannock correspondent writes
to the Philadelphia Itquirer: aI gr
"A Prussian officer of rank, who witnessed the
late battle at Fredericksburg, has declared to
several of our higher officers that he never saw
troops march up to storm batteries in face OF
such a dreadful fire as did our troops at the late
battle. He expressed admiration at the excel
lent order in which the several divisions advanc-
ed under fire, and the obstinacy with which the
battle was contested on both sides, and said that
no such severe fighting had been done in any OF
the European wars within the last twelve years.
This officer was at the battles of Magenta aud
Solferino, and in the Crmean war at Sebassopol,
and says that the French and English troops in
those Campaigns never displayed more daring
and good fighting qualities than did our troops
This testimony, coming from . high and disin-
terested source, 10 worthy tribute to the bra
very Of our patriotic Union soldiers"
