Railroad Accident
   On Wednesday evening the passenger train on the Southern {(of Mississippi)} Railroad was thrown off the track, east of Brandon, by running over a tree which had fallen across the road. The locomotive, baggage and one passenger car were slightly damaged. Two or three persons sustained some little injury, but none were seriously hurt. A locomotive was sent out yesterday at 11 o'clock to bring in the cars, and arrived last night.
