RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

CINCINNATI, Sept. l7th.-The accident on
the 0. & NJ, road proves more than at first
reported. Four passenger cars went into
the creek and one box and one baggage car
on top of them. These cars contained $50
men of Company E. L. G. and I. The latter

ard, company !. killed. Up to this time so
dead bodies have been taken out and more
are under the wreck The train is now on
the way here with 80 wounded. 1t is the
impression at the wreck that from 40 to
30 are killed. Circumstances indicate that
the bridge was tempered with by malicious
persons. The bridge was so feet space 10
feet high and but lately inspected.

JEFFERSON Cry, Sept 1s.-The cores
pOndent of the St. Louis Democrat writes
that we have no definite report from Lex
ington, but it is settled fact that that place
is infested by Gen. Price, with 10, 900 rebel
troops. Good military authorities here
are confident, however, that the United
States troops there have been reinforced,
and that unless the place was taken yester-
day, it is safe, Price is reported to have a
large park of artillery, part of which are
the gans taken from Gen. SigeIs batteries
at the battle of Wilson's Greek. A part of
Prices force is reported to be forty miles
from this city. His scouts have been fifteen
miles from here. r-..-f.
Ben Mccullough with Is, 600 we'll armed
troops is reported to be advancing rapidly
from the Southwest, in the direction of
either Rolla or this city. Many think this
will be the point of attack. Another object
of his march is said to be to get between
our troops at Rolla and other points
and prevent functions while Price is OPP
Grating against Lexington, and the capital,
and if these plans are successful, then form
q junction with Price.

corning this election than any other ever
held in this State.
Some $500 have been subscribed in San
Francisco for Parsen Brownlow.

ing, when the Government troops reached
Romney Fork, 5 miles north of Muldraugh's
Hill, they found the bridge over the Fork,
burned, and the enemy on Muldraugh's Hill;
number not certained. Gen. Sherman dis
covering fort about breast deep, sent a re-
connoitering party which had not returned
at this evening, at which time Lieu
tenant Colonel johnson was dispatched
from Louisville with 700 additional force
consisting of the regiment of Rousseau's

Great enthusiasm by bystanders at the de-

The city is full of rumors, among which
is one, that General Butler is commanding

Doubtful. Another that after secessionist
had burned the bridge at Romney Fork,
the Union men burned the bridge at Nolan,
Is miles from Elizabethtown, whereby they
stopped two of the three trains which the
secessionlsts supposed they had obtained by
the burning of the Romney Fork bridges
