We are panied to record most melancholy oeeM-
renee that took place on river, late Yesterday
afternoon, by which gallant young Lieutentant of
the Georgia army was fatally, prominent and
much loved citizen. horribly wounded and another
citizen of the up country severely lacerated.
As the steamer Habersham was coming up from
Fort Pulaski with considerable party of officers
and yisltors on board as she neared Fort Jackson
small iron swivel was brought out and loaded for
Internationally Overcharged. The fuse be-
ing applied, the weapon burst 10 atoms, the frag-
rnents flying in every direction Though sad as is
the result, it was fortunate that it worse.
One of the pieces of metal struck Lieu:enant Vim.
Nelson, of the Georgia army, and sen of the late
Gen. Chas. II Nelson. in6icting fatal injury from
which it is impossible for him to recover The
wound is on the right side of the head just above
the eye and ranging upward and backward. The
flesh is much lscerated and the skull broken in for
considerable space. He has nor spoken since the
accident and his case is considered hopeless though
be Is still alive as we write, Pm.
Our old friend Colonel Miller GROVE. Of Milledge
VILE, is the next sufferer He was standing some
twenty feet from the gun when it exploded and was
struck on the left cheek, just below the eye, and
passing backward ntlicting terrible cash and pro-
badly breaking in the cheek bone if not destroying
the sight OF one eye. The flesh is literally torn up
from the bone and thrown back, presenting;a fright
ful spectacle while his whole person seemed soaked
with blood de had not been throGghy examined
Wnen we saw him. 1t is hoped that this is the only
injury and that his valuable life is not endangered
he is entirely sensible. He has son in the service
at Fort Pulaski and had just been down to visit him

two inches and three or more in length the back
part of his left thigh. 1t is purely flesh wound,
and he will doubtless soon recover.
Should further developments be made in the
course of the surgical examination, and before our
paper goes to press, they Will be given in post

We may add, for the satisfaction of frlends>at
distance, that all the parties taken to the Pu-
lash House on the arrival Of the boat. where they
are receiving every comfort and attention, medical
and otherwise.
p. $50 P. M.-Lieut. Nelson has been trephined
and is somewhat revived but very little hope is en-
tertained. We regret TO hear that upon examina-
ton Col Grieve is ascertaned to be far more seri-
ously injured than was at first apprehended The
bones OF his face crushed up the base of the
brain, he has had several spasms and his condition
