Railroad Accident
   We regret to learn that an accident occurred on the South Carolina Railroad on Thursday morning last {January 1, 1863?}, by which Mr. H. S. Millis, Express Messenger, lost his life. It seems the down train ran off the track near Kingsville, breaking the track of the engine, tearing up  portion of the track and precipitating the cars from it. Mr. Millis, when he saw the cars turning over, jumped off, the cars falling upon him and killing him. The Mail Agent and a negro man, who were in the same car with Mr. Millis, remained inside and were uninjured.
