Serious Accident to a Member of the 14th Regiment S. C. V.
   A young man named Richardson, of Company C, Capt. West, from Edgefield, S. C., was standing on the top of one the box cars in company with a number of his fellow soldiers, as the train approached the depot, and unfortunately stood so near the edge, that when the train received a sudden check from the engine, he was thrown between two cars, and falling on the rail, had one of his legs very badly crushed by the wheel of the car. We understand that the limb was so badly crushed, that in conjunction with the shock to his system, the unfortunate man's condition will be rendered very critical. He was immediately conveyed to the Confederate hospital on Washington street, where every attention was shown.
