Shocking Accident TO FEDERAL ParOIed
Prisoners In Richmond.
A NUMBER DROWNED.

The Richmond EBanliasr, of the 9sth ult.,
say: Between and O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, while upwards Of a thousand Federal eK-
changed prisoners were being conducted from
the Confederate States prison 10 the Petersburg
depot, for transportation to City Point, the foot
bridge spanning the basin at Eighth street,
gave way while the line was passing over 1t,
and went down a wreck In ten feet OF water,
carrying with II all upon the bridge, from fifty
10 eighty in number. The utmost excitement
at once ensued among the prisaners, and the
members OF several companies Of the City Bat
talon, who had them under guard, exerted
themselves Strenuously to rescue them, hut the
morning being dark and cloudy, their efforts
were attended 9th but partial success. On
calling the roll twenty-seven Of the prisoners
were found TO be missing, or, at least, not an
Bwering to their names. Two Of the guards
members of Captain MRule's company, CE, j
City battalion, were also missing, and, II Il
feared, they have shared the fats of the pri.
soners.
Notwithstanding the lamentable mishap, tn,
prisoners were sent on to Petersburg by the re
gular train. During the morning throngs o
persons assembled on both banks Of the BASH
and at the bridge TO witness the preparation
for recovering the bodies from the basin. Al
the suggestion OF Coroner SanKay, the outlets
were opeheu lot the purpose OF drawing the
water off but the basin emptied slowly, and
up to O'Clock p. m. yesterday, but three bo
dies had been discovered, two of them Fedora
prisoners, and the third the body Of a Confed,
crate soldier, that had evidently been In thu
water a month or more.
Darkness approaching, the further search 70
the victims was post boned until this morning
when an official investigation will he had.
1t is stated that the fallen bridge was con
Etructed afler a pattern introduced from Gin

tests against their being kept for garrison duty

To use them for garrison duty only would be
like reserving cavalry to defend a fortress, OF
