| Lynchburg, Va., June 6, 1861 |
| A serious accident occurred on
last Sunday with the eastward-bound train on the
East Tennessee
& Virginia Railroad, with Col.
Vaughn's Regiment on board. It appears, from what can be learned, that
one of the trucks broke down, which was the cause of throwing three or
four cars from the track, containing soldiers. Capt. Morelock's
command were the greatest sufferers, the Captain having his thigh
badly injured. About twelve were sent back to
Knoxville
— some with broken arms and legs, bruises, contusions, &c. |
