Detention of the Cars
   The train on the Savannah, Albany & Gulf Railroad, due here on yesterday morning, did not arrive, owing to a break in the trestle work this side of the bridge over the Altamaha. The workmen repairing a defective bend had removed the string pieces, when the bent fell against two others, knocking them down, which prevented the cars from passing over. It will require a day or two to repair the track. In the mean time, there will be no interruption of the travel over the road.
