RAILROAD AccDENTs.-the train that l'it
Pittsburg on Tuesday evening last was thrown
from the track by the breaking OF rail, near
Lockport, about 90 miles West of PittSburg.-
Two engines were attached to the train, which
contained 800 passengers. All the cars except
two were shattered, yet none Of the passengers
were seriously injured. One of the engines
left the track, and striking the stump OF tree,
was forced up on end, the stump going through
the bta;tom OF the car.
We learn that the night line on the Phla-
d+Iphia and Jersey city Railroad, due at Nor
folk at O'Clock yesterday morning, did not
arrive till hali-paSt ten, in consequence Of the
engine running off the track four or five miles
below Trenton, but doing no injury to the pas
sengers, though scadng and severely injuring
the engineer and fremen. The accident was
caused by horse on the track, which had been
turned loose over night, and which was drag
grd by the locomotive several yards, and killed.
The engine was turned upside down, and near
~ ruined, and all except the two hind passenger
cars ran off the track. Telpgraphic dispatches
were sent to Philadelphia and Trenton, and a
locomotive train arrived to their relief about
O'Clock when The passengers were transferred.
