Accident Upon the Central {(of Georgia)} R. R.
   The down train which left Macon on Tuesday noon, ran into the Augusta train {Augusta & Savannah RR} at Millen, as the latter occupied the Central track for the purpose of baking down to the passenger house. The engines of both trains were considerably injured -- two box cars were smashed, and the second class car of one of the trains was overturned. The only injury to person was in the case of a negro fireman, who was scalded, but we understand not dangerously hurt. In consequence of this collision, the up train from Savannah, due at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, did not arrive until the afternoon.
