RAILROAD Acc1DEsT.-Quite dangerous accident
occurred to the Louisville train, the State line
as it was going out last Saturday 1t seems that
the "swtch" where the accident occurred, had been
properly adjusted but not "Ioeked' and when the
wheels of the locomotive ran upon it. the rails
parted and it off the track. Fortunately there
were too reight-cars between the tender and pass
enger-cars and their conclusion with the losomo-
i've and tender detached the passenger-cars, and
they were left on the track. But for this the in
jury to passengers might have been very serious
The locomotive was a good deal injured, and the
fireman was so badly hurt that it was thought for
while, he would die; but we are glad to hear that
he is recovering, A passenger too, in the baggage
car had his hand badly hurt but no others were
injured.

ma A meeting Of the people Of this county is
10 be held at the Courthouse il this city, next
Monday. 10 nominate candidates to represent us in
our proposed State Convention. The election has
been ordered by the Legislature to be held on tne
9th of February next and if the vote FOR Con
ventIon shall prevail, IL is to meet on the zoin Oh
nett month. In voting, each voter will WRITE or
have printed on his ticket convention or mo
Convention as he may be for, or against the meet
ing Of such a body; and whether he be Tor OF
against, the Convention, he should put upon MS
ticket the name of those candidates that ne wlsnes
shall represent US, should the Convention be held.
The selection of representatives in the proposed
Convention Is a duty involving the gravest respon-
sibilities; and in discharging that duty but one
single motive should animate us-a sincere desire
for a speedy, honorable, and lasting settlement OF
the difseulties that have 60 long distracted, and
now threaten TO ruin our country In selecting
men 10 represent u.s. let us lay aside all prejudice
all party feeling and aim only to elect men OF
wisdom, moderation, hrmness, and unqueshoned
patriotism. The action of Tennessee, through this
Conye, ton, will prove Of the highest consequence
Not o. 4 has she interests of her own of the high
eat VI hut the influence of her action upon 9TH
ers Us consideration of the utmost magn-
tuds nd no man to that Convection who is IN
favor o. secession, or dissolution, nor yet any one
who will not claim and contend for every just and
reasonable right of the South. Don't send men OF
extreme views either way; bat men Of enlarged
national patriotism--men whose love of country IS
not bounded by State Zines, but covers every acre
over which our flag waYesl
The people of Montgomery County have given
Incontes,blo proof of their devotion to the Union
and vet too Of their determination to claim, and
maintain, our Southern rights; and we have no
fears but that in the coming election they VIII act
10 a manner worthy of themselves, and becoming

/reAu. A daily train is now running on our>rail-

at 400 p. N. An arrangement has been made to
run line of stages over the gap between the river
and Paris but on account Of the flood of water now
covering the river-bottoms they cannot be rum
They will, however commence their trips as soon as
the water subsidies.
We learn from Mr., John Fleece, Division Engin-
Ger of the road that the Tennessee river bridge is
all framed except the draw-span and that the ma
sonry will I've completed in about two months CT
will be remembered that this work was nearly done
some time ago, but one, or more of the immense
piers had to be taken down and rebuilt on account
of the insecure bed upon which they had been
built
There arc only about fourteen miles of the road
yet to be ironed We think we may safely count
upon the entire completion of the bridge and road
in three months at farthest
n But for the unfortunate difficulty about the piers
which all ordinary prudence and precautior
failed to avert, the road would have been completed
and opSAed to Memphis on the FIRST Of this month
