Terrible Railroad Accident.

BETWEEN TWENTY-FIVE AND FIFTY KILLED.
The Crisis publishes the following tele-
graphic dispatches, which reached this
city night before last and this morning.
The accident occurred on the Southern
road, about eighteen miles west of Meri-
dian:
To C. S. WILLIAMS:
MERIDIAN, Feb. lg.-The telegraphic re-
pairer from Newton to-day, reports the
railroad badly washed between Newton
and Hickory. The engine Hercules,
which left here with a freight train at 4
o'clock this morning, ran into the river
near the Chunkey. The engineer, fire.
man and large number of the passen-
gers are supposed to be drowned. Eight
bodies have been recovered. The engine
and four cars are out of sight in the wa
ter. j. NJ. BOOKER.

morning.

who broke open every car in the train and
got in there before leaving here. The
third and fifth cars had only troops and
one horse-about seventy mon in the two.
The engineer was forward on the engine
looking out, and the conductor was on
the engine.
We are informed, says the Crisis, that
the officers on this train were among the
very best connected with the railroad de-
partment. They were careful. Rad pru
dent men, and no blame can be attached
to them for this terrible accident. The
soldiers, before getting on the cars were
warned, both by the citizens and officers,
of the danger attending the trip, but they
would not be restrained. The train was
running at a low rate of speed when the
accident occurred. The engineer and con-
ductor, knowing the bad condition of the
road since the rains, were more careful
than usual and had taken the positions
Of danger. The loss of the engineer is
very much regretted by the officers of the
road, and by his acquaintance generally.

Vicksburg, which says the army of Mis-
sisippi is being depleted at fearful rate,
ever since it has been at Vicksburg. Ey-
cry day over one hundred men fail TO re-
spond to roll call, and are carried out of
camp, never to return.
In the Yankee Congress, Senator Pow
ell, of Kentucky, gave notice that he
would call for an investigation regarding
the dispersion Of the Democratic Conven-
ton recently at Frankfort.

Another MuSs.

Major General G. W. Smith has ten
dered his resignation, and the same has
been accepted by the President, between
whom and the General some cause of dis
agreement has existed. General Long
street has been appointed by the Presi-
dent to the military department made
vacant by the resignation of General
Smith. This department includes South
Virginia and North Carolina, and en-
braces all the operations south of the ar
my of Northwestern Virginia, command
ed by General Lee. General Longstreet's
headquarters will be at Petersburg. Gen.
Smith is among the ablest Chieftains in
the Southern service, and his Withdrawal
is certainly to be regretted.

Glorious News from Northwestern
Virginia,

Our information, derived from relin-
BILE source, is of the most encouraging
character from Northwestern Virginia.
The downtrodden, gallant freemen of
that section are about asserting their
might and majesty by denouncing the
corrupt tyrant at Washington. At a
large and overwhelming meeting of the
citizens in mass meeting assembled in
Wheeling, under the very nose of the
Washington tyrant, Sherrord Clemmens,
ex-member Of Congress, denounced Lin
coin in a whitening speech for two hours,
which elected unbounded applause from
the large crowd present. So says the
Wheeling butedigencer, an Abolition organ
publishedin Wheeling. One hundred and
four young men from Calhoun county,
have arrived in stanton to enlist for the
war in the Confederate service:
