Mr.. Ashley PORTS, son Of Mr..
Joseph Potts, of this county, met
with a serious accident near Shenan-
doah Junction on last Saturday,
which resulted in the amputation of
the right leg, below the knee. He
had gone to the junction on business
and having transacted it, and not
desiring to wait for the accommoda-
tion train to come to this place, he
attempted to board a passing freight
train, which he would have accom-
plished safely, it is thought, had it
not been for an umbrella which he
carried in his hand at the time, and
which tripped him, throwing him
down, with his leg on the track, the
wheels of several cars passing over
it. He was picked Up by the train
party and brought to this place, and
taken to the Eagle" hotel, where he
was received with the kindly sympa-
thy characteristic Of the proprietor,
Mr.. Smith, and his wife. The am
putation was performed by DR.. Hun
ter, assisted by Drs. Snodgrass,
Myers and McSherry, Mr.. Potts is
a young man, not yet twenty years
old, and was until recently employed
in Fits mill in this place, and was
much respected by all who knew
him, and who sympathize with him
in his sad misfortune.

The captain, speaking of the bombardment of Alexandria, gives his opin- ion that the English did the correct thing in their treatment of the case. When his vessel left Alexandria there was no prospect of any war, hence it was quite a surprise to him to learn of the fighting, and that Alexandria, city four times as large as New Haven, was mostly destroyed by fire.
