Fatal Accident on the Brunswick {& Florida} Road
   We regret to hear, from passengers by the Savannah, Albany &} Gulf Road last evening, that a painful accident occurred on the Brunswick Railroad, Sunday night last. A company of troops (we were unable to learn their name of county) were passing from No. 9 to Brunswick, when, owing to a defect in the road, the train ran off, creating quite a smash up of the cars. A young man named Moore, a Lieutenant, was killed, and another Lieutenant and several privates badly injured.
   The body of Lieut. Moore arrived here by the train, and was sent forward to his friends by the night train on the Central {(of Georgia)} Road.
