WOMAN KILLED AND ANOTHER INJURED.

ONE WOMAN KILLED AND ANOTHER INJURED.
An accident occurred on the railroad on Satur-
day in the western part of the city by which an
old lady named Margaret Mccain was so severely
injured that she died in short time, and her
daughter, Mary Sweeney, was badly hurt.
The two women, who live in that part OF the
city formerly known as Hedgeyille, started to
walk In to town on the railroad to come to mar
ket. Mrs. Sweeney saw the cars before she and
her mother went on the track, but supposes the
old lady did not sec them. The train was coming
in town, and was, of course, Oh the cast track,
(called the "north bound track" by railroad
mcn,) while the two women were on the west
track, and as the younger of them knew, out Of
danger. Mrs. Mccain appears not to have heard
the train until it was nearly up to them, when she
suddenly exclaimed, "Oh what's that aud
jumped from the track where there was no danger
to that on which the train was Her daughter
caught her by the cloak and said, 'mother you
are all right" but her mother was too much ex-
cited to understand the matter and continued on
towards the other track her daughter being una
Bile to hold her.
The tender struck Mrs Mccain, throwing her
violently on the ground between the two tracks,
and the next car struck Mrs Sweeney in the side,
knocking her down also. Mrs. Sweeney thinks
that ii she had not continued to hold on TO her
mother up to the time she was struck that the
latter would have fallen under the train.
As soon as Mrs. S. was able to get up she went
to her mother and raised her head on her lap,and
assistance shortly arriving, both were taken to
their homes, (but few doors aparD and Mrs.
Mccain shortly afterwards died. She was about
20 years old, and native of Ireland. Her back
and one leg were broken Mrs. Sweeney, though
severely, is not dangerously wounded.
| Deputy Coroner Curry held an inquest on the
body of the deceased, and the jury rendered n
| verdict in accordance with the facts.
| Nearly all the people living in that neighber-
hood between Newport road and the railroad,
are in the habit of coming into the central part
of the city on the railroad saving thereby from
three to five minutes walk, but having a muddy
footing in place of good pavement. It is won
der accidents do not occur there more frequently.

inducements TO get married at once. One Of
fcred to fee the minister handsomely, another to
give her COW, another to give handsome set
OF furniture for the bridal chamber, &c.
In the course of the conversation the young
man to whom it related came in. The party high

democrats affect to believe in it still, and
young Isaiah Rynders has not given himup
1t is reported that Horatio Seymour has

the fatigue and excitement of a campaign
This much has been suspected of him be

took his own life. Mr. Seymour has been
thrice defeated for governor, and took the

GENERAL HANCOCK was good fighting
soldier, throughout the war, too good, in
deed, to now throw himself into the arms OF
the party which SO bitterly and steadily
abused him and his comrades while they
were in the field. Among the closing SER
vices which he performed was the conduct
of the military attentions paid to the Assas-
sination Conspirators, and the hanging Of
Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Atzcrett, and Harold,

be remembered that in consequence thereof,
he was roundly abused by the Democratic

AN EXPLANATORY LETTER FROM GENERAL RAW
Inns.
The following important letter has just
been made public;-
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED

Your letter relating to the order OF General
Grant, dated oxford, Miss, December Il,
1862, eXpcllRg Jews, as "A class, from his DE-
partment, is before me. You are doubtless
aware that General Grant has never, either
by himself or through the aid of friends at
tempted TO defend any military order which
the emergencies Of the service seemed at the
time to require. However, as my name is
attached to it as Assistant Adjutant- General,
it may not be improper to stale that at and
previous to its date, our military affairs were
in most critical condition, and important
movements were transporting. General Sher-
man was collecting forces at Memphis and
| Helena General Grant was moving steadi-
y against Pemberton at Grenada, keeping
up appearances OF immediate attack, to di-
| vert his attention from Sherman, and, in
cooperation with Grant, Dodge was moving
South from Corinth The success of Grants
plans depended on keeping the enemy in
| ignorance of his real purpose, namely. the
surprise and capture of Nicksburg by Sher-
man, and ii was therefore of the utmost i'm
portance that every avenue of information
to the enemy should be closed
The most stringent orders had previously
been published, forbidding persons going or
coming through our lines, limiting traders to
certain boundaries, and prohibiting the pas
sage Of coin South, or the payment OF IL for
Southern products. Persistent violations of
these orders by persons principally of the
Jewish race, were the subjects of constant
reports by many of General Grants subOrdl-
mates some of whom had even issued orders
expclling them from the lines, but which
General Grant had promptly revoked. Re
ports of the same character were also re-
ceiped from other than military sources.
At length, on the evening of December {,
1852, (tle date OF the ordcr) the mail brought
: from Washington a large number of com
plants, officially referred to him by the Gen
eral in Chief Of the army, against the class
OF persons for violations Of the above men
toned orders. The General fell, IN Realm,
them, that some immediate action was de

tent the critical condition of military affairs
and Judged, whether wisely or unwisely tina
