We learu that she left borne accompanied-by br father-in-law, to visit her ick husbandin an army fcospital.but found him dead.' She was returning withf his corpse, and by this sad accident her father-in-lay was killed affd. she herself Jerribly mailed. Doctors Hill and McKee, of this city, put her under the linfloence of chloroform and amputated one of her legs Tuesday evening about 4 o'clock. Previoua to the amputation she bore her pain with more than human f courage, owing i it is said, to the genuine christian piety for which she " has been distinguished: We were Iccidentally passing the house where the operation wasj perToriued and more or less than- nan. would he have; been, who could have with held a tear, en listening ,lo one of her favorite hymns which she was then sitfging. She fejt happy under the influence f : the;: magic drug and gave vent t her feelings in her accustomed song. We ; visited the Messrs. Barras at Mr. Canning I giro's hotel, in'this cityjnd were glad to find them fitting up and conversing upon their providential es- 5 years old, hip and cape. If not internally injured their wounds are not serious. ; vr-,:-1 ' V . -,- -,.. ' Charles Holleman, the engineer on the wrecked train, is univers ally acquitted, as far as we could hear, of all blama. By waiting for the mail tran going North, at Wake Kprrat, he was detained 15 minutes behind schedule time, and as soon as that train passed him, he started his train for Raleigh , sot expecting that any other train would be on the track. But Sidney Hin- ; ton, engineer of a gravel train, started from Huntsville immediately after the mail 1 train going North, which had passed Holleraan's train at Wake Forest, of course to reach that point before ; Hollemap's train could switch off on the track! But he was too late. , j "j As he went round a curve , about a half to three quarters of" a mile south , of Wake Forest Station, Holleman approaching him saw the white smoke of his engine and immediately bler his whistle and re versed bis engine. But :efom this couldbe well tdone"lhefcen;irieTVere almost fn" the act of 'colliding, and the engineers saved themselves by jumping off. The engines met and plunged into each other with a fearful crash, where they remain so fastened together, ' that, some say, they can never bedisentangled. J The tender. of Holleman's train was forced with a bound over the ladies car, passing over it in an an gular direction, and smashing (everything to atoms.5 The terrible suffering and loss of life which we have recorded is the deplorable consequence, l - We have ooly to add that we heard it remarked by; passengers, that if but one freight car had been be' tween the tender and ladies', car, this awful catastro phe, in human suffering and loss of life, would have been averted, j We saw Mr. Lindsay late of Norfolk, who saved his life by instantly' falling down oa the floor of the coach,! at the same time - dragging a boy down with him, whose life was also saved. We fur ther learned that in consequence of a consultation among the surviving asengers about punishing Hin-. ton, the engineer,' tbatgentleman has not since been1 seen. We can only say, in behalf of the public, ?thafc as he was running out of time and, as it is said, con trary to orders, he has incurred an awful responsibility. P. S. We learned at 10 o'clock, last night, that MrsT Roland .was doing as .well as could be expect ed.v Surgeon General Warren assisted the bier phy sicians mentioned in the amputation of her leg. 1 f . LATER FROM EUROPE. j . THE EKQLISH P?JES8 ON THE EMANCIPATIOnK pEQ- CLAMATIONLtNCOLN's THUNDER LAUGHED AT, The steamer City of Manchester, from Liverpool on the ith inst., arrived at New York Tuesday. Lin coln's proclamation relative to emancipation of-the slaves was, still the theme of universal discussion in England, and its importance was fully realized. Hyde Park, London, on Saturday, the 6tb, was the scene of a most disgraceful rtot. There was no rneetrag called, but an immense crowd assembled, composed largely of roughs, Irish and English, appaiently intent qri f finishing the row, of the previous Sunday, or making I a sequel to it. The brutal proceedings continued for some two hours, j By three o'clock about one hundred : thousand people had entered the park, many carry-sing sticks. The Irish had made the best preparations for the shindy. When the melee was at its height, sticks were beingused, and stones were flying in all 'directions, and at least two thousand people were bat tling in different parts of the park, and in some cases, knives were used. Several hundred soldiers, off duty took part in he fray. The Irish were at last over- ' powered. 'the aggrega'e expression of the London newspa pers may i be summed up5 as an unqualified condemna tion by the English people of the principles and pol icy of the extreme Abolitionists of the United States, Who are classified as "lunatics," wishing to perpetrate an "outrage on humanity" by the initiation of a ne gro insurrection J The plea of a gradual abolition ef slavery, or even its immediate extinction, was still en tertained witn lay or, but it is evident that England doubts Mr. Lincjaln's power to enforce his decree, and thinks it can be carried out by force only. ' The London ITYmej-and Post are hostile to the Presidient, his Cabinet, a fid the Union at large, while the London News, the cream of Exeter Hall, write an editorial treaiise against slavery, but avoids all reference to Mr.J Lincoln or the proclamation. The -London Star thinks that Mr. Lincoln has accurately calculated his power to carry out emancipation on the 1st of "January, and anticipates, meantime, the negroes "mee ing in war council," and then "strik ing" for "freedom." The Manchester and Liverpool papers ex press, the opinion that the North cannot perfect the design of Mr. Lidcolh.. J Lord J5qfield,M. P., delivered a speech to an as semblage composed of noblemen, farmers and opera tives at Hounslow, England, on the 6th instant, in ." whiclj, after expressing regret at the existence of civil war in America,! be said : "It is to be hope that by some means -by some honorable understanding be tween the contending parties the seceding States may fee recognized, and that the two great Republic, or perhaps three, m?y arise out of the wreck of that . great Republic which; whatever its faults may have been; was one worthy the espect and esteem of En-; glishmen. We "may further hope that those Repub lies may be able; to prove a blessing to the civilized world. More thlan that I may feel, but more than that I will not say ; because the members of the House of Commons have,-by a mutual understanding, placed a restraiut upon Ithemselves in the desire that no vote or expression of : theirs should parry either defiance or insult to the people of America n . " V ! ; - The United . States steamer Releasej at Cadiz, n the 30th ultimo, from -Fayal, reports 'tbat there were two rebel steamships in the waters of he Azores, and that when the whaleship Ocmulgee of .Edgar town, was taken by the r'No. 290," the Ocmulgee had a whale alongside in addition to the oil on board. 5 Sa.lt.

The Richmond En quirer learns from a correspondent of the Bristol Advocate, who. writes from headquarters at Hickory Flatts, Lee county Va., Oct. 17, : that 86 Conjeder ates, under command of Major Sayler, met 180 of the Kentucky Home Guards, a few. days since, on or near the line of Harlan county, Ky., and after a hot ly contested fight of 40 minutes, succeeded in driving the invaders pell mell into the mountains, killing 4, capering 20 prisonisrs, 25 improved musket 4 torsesSind 2 mules,' all of which wtre brought into camp at Hickory , Flats. The same correspondent says the enemy are again rallying for another incur sion into Lee county, and all that is needed to whip them easily, is 200 muskets and a plenty; of ammu nition. . - '."' " - : . , " i f 2s o Fight. On the authority of the Petersburg Express we stated yesterday that a fight had come off at Fmnklin, Southampton county, Va., in which the On the Confederates were soundly thrashed. samo authprity we now say there was no figh. Some 800 or 1 00 veteran 'abolitionists from Suffolk crossed the BlackWater at Bowden's Seine hole and captured six Confederate pickets, and then skedaddled for Suf folk to escape capture or wWby a force of Confed erates who, they. had learned, had got on their tracks and vrere determinsd to bag them.1 ' ' ! : " Extensive Revva jj, or Religion, The r Spirit of the Age says : ' , .
