| Railroad Accident |
| The train going East {on
the East Tennessee & Virginia RR}, on Sunday, with Col.
Vaughn’s Regiment from this place {Knoxville},
met with a serious accident, four miles West of New Market. The trucks
under the second car ran off the track, throwing off three cars. The
second car, containing Captain Morelock’s company, suffered
severely; but so far, it is thought that the injuries of none will
prove fatal. The injured, of whom a list will be found below, were
brought to this city yesterday morning, and placed in comfortable
quarters near the Asylum, where every attention has been and will be
given them, by Doctors Bell, Ramsey, Rodgers and Morrow. |

Injured |
| Capt. Morelock, thigh badly bruised |
