| The mail train which missed connection
with the South-Side cars yesterday morning is not arrive in this city
until 8 o'clock in the afternoon, having been detained by the
obstruction of the track, caused by an accident to the train that
contained Col. Stovall's Battalion, which occurred near Central Depot,
on Virginia & Tenn. Railroad, the
cars being thrown from the track by running over a cow. A number of
cars were badly broken up, and one man instantly killed and seven
others hurt and crippled in various parts of the body; most of the
hurts, however, are slight, and only one of the injured is considered
in any danger. I regret that the names of the wounded men could not be
obtained; all of them, together with the man that was killed, were
soldiers, and belonged to Stovall's Georgia
battalion. |
