CORRECTION. " stated yesterday that
there was almost collision between the G.
T. and Boston trains, and that when the en-
gines were stopped they were only few feet
apart. We now learn that the trains were not
within five hundred feet of each other when
stopped; and that the G. T. train did not leave

at Camp King would feed him." SO he came
These children left their homes on Saturday
morning last, and sleeping beneath an old cart
on the same evening, reached town the follow
ing day, in an almost famished condition.
They received a kind welcome from the sol
diers of Camp King, who divided rations with
them. Feeling little uneasy, perhaps, they
induced another lad, to conduct them to the
Office of the City Marshal, where, after re-
ceiving refreshments from the hands of officer
Foster, chief of the police subsistence depart
