Diabolical Mischief
   Some unknown miscreant displaced the rails on the Southwestern Railroad, near Americus, Ga., Thursday last, by reason of which the passenger train from Macon was thrown from the track and the engine and a portion of the cars precipitated down a twenty-five feet embankment. Several parties were injured, but not fatally.
