A bull run-off affair
   The train on the Central {of Georgia} Railroad which left this city at 11 o'clock on Wednesdaymorning last, came in contact with a bull on the track about 120 miles from the city, by which the engine was thrown from the track and much damaged. The evening trains, both from Macon and Savannah, were detained until eight o'clock yesterday morning, by which time the workmen had erected a temporary track around the damaged locomotive, which could not be immediately moved. In consequence of the delay the train due here yesterday morning at half-past 7 did not reach the city until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
