LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The Disaster ON the Cleveland and
Columbus RailrOad--HOw il DC.
curred.-List of Wounded.

We have received some additional partic-
ulars of the fatal accident on the Cleveland
and Columbus Railroad on Saturday last,
of which we gave an account in yesterdays
paper. The train consisted of six well filled
passenger cars, and was in charge of Con-
ductor Thornton. Between Gilead and
Cardington the third car jumped from the
track breaking the coupling, ran about
seventy yards and capsized down an en-
bankment The other cars kept the track,
and ran seventy-ive or hundred feet be-
fore they stopped. The conductor was in
the second car from the locomotive, and the
accident occurred SO quickly that he knew
nothing of it until the train stopped.
~ An examination of the rails at the spot
where the accident occurred, was made,
and it was found that one rail had
been forced beyond the end of the
one in frontNof it; and it is supposed that
the wheel of the car followed the misplaced
rail, and running off of it on to the ground,
threw the whole car Off by the jolt. The
accident was certainly one of the most sin
gular on record, and the above is the only
theory by which it can be accounted for.
10 Mr.. VIM. Dewitt, member of the State
Board of Agriculture, was killed while sit
ting with Mr.. W. II. Greer, of Painsville,
also amember of the same Board. Mr.. De-
Witt, 1t is supposed, when the car capsized,
was thrown against the roof of the car, one
of the satehel hooks near the roof pene-
,trating the top Of his head. When taken
out of the car he was alive but perfectly
unconscious, and died in about ten minutes.
Thehook apparently penetrated to his brain.
Mr.. Greer was also thrown from his seat
sand severely injured. 81
Several other persons in the car were
more or less injured, but few of them se-
riously. They were all taken to Cleveland,

New YORK, May 23.-The Tribune's cor
respondent states that less than ten thou
sand new troops repulsed three divisions of
Ewell's corps. At three o'clock on Friday
morning, Birney's, Crawford's and Russell's
divisions advanced. The movement was so
rapid and unexpected that the rebel picket
line was captured almost to man, and
sweeping on until over two miles had been
gained and hundreds of prisoners captured.
The prisoners state that Lee came with
them across the Ny river, rode along their
lines, addressed the brigade, telling them
that they were to undertake. movement
which, If successful, would be fatal to the
Yankees, and adjuring them to make it sue
cessful. He told them they were close to
our rich stores and immense baggage, and
q determined assault would give them eve
ry thing we possessed. --,

of goods are somewhat lower. The job
bers have lowered their quotations, but
stocks in first hands are light. Prints
have thus fallen, though they cannot be
replaced All the inferior styles realize
much less prices, both at auction and at
private sale. Buyers are yet holding OF
their main purchases. Sheetings and shirt
