A serious railroad accident occurred about
three miles from this city Hast night, upon
the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad.
Two extra trains, containing regiment OF
Mississippi soldiers, left our depot about
dark. ana had hardly got out OF hearing,
when the foremost train came into collision
with freight train coming west. The COLI
zion was frightful, but only one man (whose
name we have not iearned) was killed out
right. Some twenty-eight or thirty brave
soldiers were more or less injured several OF
them it is supposed fatally. An engine was
dispatched to this city, and several physicians
at once repaired to the spot.
About eleven O'Clock the train returned
bringing the wou ided. DIR. Ramsey, who
has charge OF the Knoxville hospital, having
Received Intelligence of the accident, was
awaiting their arrival. The wounded were
convey ed TO the hospital, where they received
the most unremitting attention, both from
those having charge of the hospital and from
the medical forces of Camp Sneed. We can
not, at this late hour of the night, give de
tailed account of the collision, nor a list of
the wounded.
The accident is charged to an error in the
railroad mana cement, which should be inves-
tigated. We refrain from stating the various
rumOrs which are in circulation, lest We
should do injustice to some who are innocent.
The engineers and firemen OF both trains,
as far as we can learn, escaped without III
jury. Although much indignation was man
ifested towards them, they are said not to
have been to blame. These railroad accI-
dents are becoming frequent. Let the culPa-
BILE parties be ferretted out and let the re-
sponsibility rest upon them.-KaorciLk Reg.

We are glad to hear, says the Richmond
Examiner, that steps are being taken by the
Navy Department to construct suitable yes
sells of light draught for purposes of river
and harbor defence. 1t is bearable to have
our ports blockaded by vessels like the
Brooklyn, Wabash and Niagara, because We
have no means to prevent it. But to have
such small craft as the Yankee, ResOlute and
Philadelphia ice-boat prowling through our
rivers and lowering about our harbors is in
supportable. We have some two or three
hundred accomplished naval officers in the
Confederate service; we have various points
at the South where efficient vessels of small
draght and size could be fitted out; and we
have plenty of enterprising "tars" TO man
them. Such being the case, it is surprising
that we submitted so long to the nuisance OF
having our harbors visited and menaced by
the enemy's small fry shipping.

II must stop.

The people of Kentucky have submitted
long aud patiently to the importation of Lin
coin guns into the State. These guns nave
been brought 10 the State for the avowed
purpose of arming citizens to make war upon
each other. The Union rarty alone has been
armed, whilst the Southern Rights men,
equally entitled to arms, have not only not
been furnished with them, but have not been
permitted even to purchase them. The arms
distributed by the General Government were
paid for alike by the Southern Rights and
Union men of Kentucky. and any further at
tempt on the part of Abraham Lincoln to
arm one party in exclusion of the other. IL
manifestly unqual and unjust, and ought not
to be submitted to.
The sending of guns to this State is clear
violation of the neutrality of Kentucky, and
calculated to produce distrust and alienation
among our people. We already see in the
military encampments in Southeastern Ken
lucky the effects of arming the so called
Union men. Led on by indiscreet partzans
they have already almost embroiled our State
in hostilities with Tennessee. Their action has
been a source of annoyance and embirfass
ment even to the leaders of the Union party
Guns, however, are being sent 10 Kentucky
evidently for the purpose of being used either
to.assist Abraham Lincoln in his unholy war
of subjugation against the south, or to coerce
the people of Kentucky to remain in the
Union, even though majority may wish the
State to unite her destiny with the Southern
Confederacy. We have seen in Western VIZ
ginia and in Missouri the painful effects OF
arming the Lincoln Home Guards. They
have ever proved themselves the most willing
and ready tools to do the bidding Of despot-
ism. In Missouri, they are giving most eff
ficient said and comfort" to the ruthless in
vaders of their soil.
1t is time for US to speak out plainly. The
rights and liberties of our people are at stake.
We have reason To believe tnat the arms sent
into Kentucky are intended to enslave her
free citizens, and to aid Abraham Lincoln in
his infamous work of despotism. Fellow
citizens. the ediet has gone forth from Wash
ington that Kentucky, proud. noble, chival-
rons old kentucky, is to be reduced to the
abject condition OF Missouri and Maryland.
The military department of Cumberland has
already been established. comprising Tennes-
see and Kentucky. There is to-day military
departments in Missouri and Maryland and
in both Of those States every right dear to
freemen is trampled under foot. If you
would avoid the fate OF Missouri ard Mary
land you must prepare to res st; you must
stop the further importation of Lincoln guns;
you must resist the first encroachments OF
tyranny; and, if all your efforts for peace and
neutrality shall fail, you must ever bear IN
mind, ''who would be free themselves must
strike the blow. Lou Cou.

CITIZENSHIP AID ALIENAGE--Several prin-
tiers left this city yesterday under the whole
some influence of the law of the Southern
Congress and the proclamation of President
DAVIS. We hope it will have the same good
effect upon all Others who are friendly to
LINCOLN and unfrieudly to the South. We
have no room here for tories. We prefer to
get rid of them in the easiest way. Let them
go hence. They have no business here.
Sooner or later they must leave, and the
sooner the better for them and for u.s. We

been by those who disguise their real friend

speaks the sentiments of the Ohio State Jour
nal, and many of the leading politicians of
the Republican party. Indeed it is the real
sentiment of most of the leading Republicans

The time has arrived when slavery must be
