Yesterday morning as the freight train west
fran Marietta approached bridge No. 2, across
.OtBarron creAk, about twenty-five miles east of
this city, It was discovered to be on ire by the
engineer Just as ne turned the curve in the road,
probably twelve rods from the bridge. The
train was running at the rate Of from twelve to
fifteen miles an hour. The engineer and other
attaches Of the road on the train jumped OFF as
soon as they saw the danger, and escaped I'M
hurt.
At this point there Is a down grade, and it was
impossible to sep the Iaia. One span of the
bridge had already been destroyed, and the en-
pine and three cars, loaded with hogs, were pre-
cipitated into the creek. The combustible part
of the engine and the cars took FIRE Immediately
FROM the burning timber Of tho bridge, and were
consumed, together with about one car load Of
hogs-the remainder escaping.
Bridge No. ], about one-third of a mile west
Bridge No. :, where the train ran eff, was also
destroyed by FIRE. This bridge was nearly new.
The bridges were about 60 feet long, each.
The bridges were fred during Wednesday
night, the villainous incendiaries fired the
bridges in several places at the same time.
IN the burning of these bridges, there is every
evidence of the work Of rebel incendiaTies, or
that of their special friends, secession sympa-
thisers. The simultaneous Efforts to destroy the
means of rapid transportation at the present
%iuncture Of affairs, when It IS highly probable
troops may be moved hither and thitheT on both
the Marietta aud Cincinnati and the CoYington
and Lexington roads, on both which cars have

A gentleman from Lexington reports that the
expected rebel attack on that place has com
mancsd. He was only six miles from the river,
when he heard the alarm gun fred and long roll
beaten in the Federal camp, followed by loud
csnnonading, which announced that the rebels

ments, which have been extended to the river,
so as to prevent the rebels from attacking in the
rear and cutting of the garrison from water.

The defeat Of our forces at Live Jack, last
Friday, was not quite so bad as first reported.
Our troops, 700 in number, fought 5000 rebels,
with the greatest bravery, for four hours, daring
which time two field pieces were captured and
retaken four times, and finally lost after being
spiked. Our total loss is set down at $50 killed,
wounded and missing, instead Of 800 as reported
first. The remainder Of the regiment escaped,
and made its way back to Lexington, and would
participate in the defense Of that place
