| The telegraph yesterday gave brief account o.

The train, which consisted of the locomotive

hour when rail, that had probably been rendered
bpttle by the intense cold broke in three places
throwing the front wheels of the forward car of
the track. The wheels were, however drawn up
the rails again, and this afterwards retained
Its position upon the track.
The second ear thrown from the track and
the forward axle breaking the car, with all its oc-
cupants. was precipitated down an embankment
about thirty feet high. The in its descent
struck large tree at the bottom. The conclusion
split the car open and threw many of the passen-
gers to the ground and enabled most of the others
to escape from the wreck Had the not been
broken 10 pieces the consequences would have
been more fnghtful there was a very hot fire
IN the stove. The blazing contents OF the stove
were scattered through the i'll its descent, and
IN few minutes the latter was in flames.
great number Of the passengers were more or
less hurt. Out Of about fifty in the car, twenty
seven were wounded, But passenger was
killed lie was found lying upon his back with a
portion oi tho wreck pressing heavily upon his

DESPERATE AFFRAY IN SCHOOL HoUsR-The
Lebanon (Tenn) Herald of the oath ult, gives the
following account of terrible and fatal fight III
school-room in Wilson county in that State:
THE most distressing homicide we ever heard
of occurred i'll this county about seven miles north
east of Lebanon, on last Monday morning was a
week ago, between Rufus Watson and his three
sons ON the one side, and two sons of John New OH
the other. The unfortunate difficulty occurred in
q school room. Young New, aged about nineteen
years. was shot through the heart and expired i'm
mediately aud his little brother some thirteen or
fourteen years OF age, almost literally cut to
pieces-receiving less, we learn, than seven
dangerous wounds. Strange as it may appear, he
isstill living and hopes entertained of his re-
coyery Rufus Watson received the contents of a
pistol loaded with birdshot in the breast, but was
not seriously hurt. The difficulty grew out Of au
old grudge that has existed between the heads OF
the respective families.
