MOST DEPLORABLE r. R. ACCIDENT.
Three Cars Burnt.


saturday night at about II o'clock, a
freight train, which was standing on the
track at Anderson station, ten miles this
side Of Stevenson, taking in water, was
run into by another freight train. Both Of
the trains were on their way TO Nashville.
The 4th Minnesota, re-eElisted veterans, on
fheir way home, were on the train run into;
and in the caboose or rear car, were num-
Der Of ladies from Huntsville, Alabama,
en- route for this city. The collision smashed
up the caboose, upset the stove, and broke
a vessel Of oil. The oil Immediately took
ERE. and communicated the flames 10 the
wood work Of the car. OF the passengers II
the eaboose, Mrs. Jesse Jordan, Mrs. Vogel,
Mrs. William KEGS, (wife Of an Engineer on
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad,)
we're burned to cinder, Miss Maggie Pick
EFT, was taken out alive, but died Sunday
morning in great agony; Mrs. Hofa, was
rescued, but with leg broken and badly
burnt. George -, Of company K, 4th
Minnesota, and little boy, were also burnt
10 death. A Paymaster and the Surgeon Of
the 9th Missouri, were burned, but not
seriously hurt. Two or three others were
more Of less burnt. The caboose and two
other ears were burnt.
It is stated that at the time the collision
occurred, the engineer Of the forward train
was swinging his lamp to warn the rear
train Of the danger, but the signal was I'M
needed. Il is stated, furthermore, that the
so-called engineer who had charge Of the
rear train was not On engineer, but had
been fireman on the Southern Michigan
Railroad; and that he has not been heard Of
since the accident. For this, however, We
do not vouch. The remainder Of the dam
aged train arrived here at 5 a. n. yestcr-
day.
The ladies who were thus suddenly and
terribly destroyed, were highly respected
members Of society. Mrs. Jordan was on
her way to Nashville on mission Of ma
ternal affection. Her son bad been taken
prisoner and sent hither for confinement;
she was seeking him, to afford him the con-
ISOLATION Of mothers counsel and advice.
II il related 70 US that she escaped till the
last moment; that an opening was made in
the burning car, and she tried to get out,
but could not; before anything further could
be done to save her, she became enveloped
in Games, and was literally roasted to death
A horrible fatel Her watch and Bible
were saved; and, strange enough, the bless
ed book passed unscathed through the fiery
ordeal-not leaf was burnt. What trea-
sure it viii be to her deeply stricken son
We have known Mrs. Jordan since the sun
ny days Of her girlhood. She combined in
an eminent degree those high and noble
traits Of character which constitute the wor-
thy wife and mother, and with them a spi-
III as heroic as ever animated the breast o.
woman. Deeply do we sympathize with
her relatives in their most grievious allie
ton
And il grstifes Us to add, that young Jor-
dan, so soon as the unfortunate death Of his
mother became known 70 them, was paroled
by our military authorities, and permitted to
depart for his home.

Successful Scout BY Tennessee Cavalry.
EleFen Rebels Captured and Others
Routed.

On Tuesday last, Capt. Higginbotham,
of the 4th Tennessee Cavalry, at the head
Of portion Of Cos. A and B, number
ing in all ~ men, made q reconnaissance
to place about Is miles beyond Char
lotte, capturing eleven rebel guerrillas
a portion Of band which has been in
testing the county for some time.
The facts, as related by Sergeant VII
liam Smith, are these: The advance Of
four men, lead by the corporal, whose
name our informant had forgotten. dis
covered, while passing over hill, two
persons ct a distance, whom they sup
posed to be citizens but they directed
their horses toward them, that they
might not be mistaken The guerrillas
for such they proved to be-immedi-
ately commenced retreating towards
wood.
The advance was then halted, and
the alarm given, when our cavalry
dashed down into the creek bottom, in
the direction of the rebels, who fed
promiscuously at our approach. They
were not sufficiently feet of foot, how
ever, as IL Of their number were picked
up in a chase Of two miles, when further
pursuit became imprscticable The
whole band numbered, it is believed,
from 40 to 60 men.

Yesterday afternoon we noticed a
family Of humble refuge from rebel tyran-
ny, "stowed away in one Of the piles Of
cross ties on Broad Street, near the wharf
They had stretched canvass over it to ward
of the rain, and, with their household
plumber, had gone in for comfort. A par
Gel Of children were abod asleep, a couple
Of half grown girls sat diligently Arranging
their sable locks, whilst youth Of about
fifteen looked On without concern. Two
men stood by, mother sat in chair with
youngster in her lap, whilst "grand ma"
and her "spees" and pipe, looked the very
picture Of dont-care-a-eopper comfort.
Thus far on their journey north, they take
a resting spell, awaiting transportation to
the land of milk and honey, where "yankee
soldiers grow. With all their humility,
these poor people love freedom too well 10
live willingly under the rule Of the JEFF
Davis despotism.

When he was ready to get of the cars,
and made search for his baggage, it was
gone. New suit and all had been stolen
by some paltry thief. Had he been a pro-
fame man he might have "cursed" some;
but, as a teacher Of morality, he couldn't
and didn't do any such thing. He realized
how vain it is to foster hopes mixed with
pride; and we are quite sure could moralize
with effect upon the text-"AH IS Vanity.''

On the next day John Boone was dying.
He had been sick with consumption fer a
long time, and during his struggle with
Watson on the night before his strength
had completely failed him. When he knew
that he could not live, he declared that he
would make clean breast Of it. am in
clined to think, however, that he hoped
that his confession might benefit him in
case he should, by any possible means, re-
cover.
This confession was just what expected.
He and Laman Stoker had committed all
those murders-had done the killing in the
house, and had then conveyed the bodies,
by way Of the creek, to the road in the
swamp; and where the murdered men had
had horses, the horses had been led out
from the stable by back way, saddled and
bridlcd, and turned loose in the road. The
whole plan had been adroitly eontrived, and,
for toolong, had been successfully executed.
John Boone died within three hours
after his confession had been made but
Laman Stoker lived until his breath was
stopped by the rope Of the hangman.
