We regret to learn that a very serious Railroad accident
occurred this side of Cleveland {on the East
Tennessee & Georgia RR} on Tuesday night as the train was
coming down from Knoxville. There were 18 killed and 48 wounded.
Captain Cooper and Lt. Scott of the 33d Alabama were among the killed.
None killed in the 16th Alabama, but five were wounded, among whom
were Captains Ashford and Smith. Four cars were smashed. The medical
corps at Cleveland rendered all the assistance within their power. The
cause of the disaster, was the breaking of an axel of one of the cars.
