RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND Loss OF
LIFE.-The Greenville train, last" evening,
when about twenty miles distant from the
city, at point known as Wallace's Farm,
encountered one of the severest and costli-
est accidents that has occurred in the history
Of the road. The rear truck Of the third
car from the engine Jumped the track, and
all ofwhich followed it--some five or six, as
we are informed-met with the same fate,
Three passenger cars we're smashed. A:
moug the passengers was the company of
Capt. Townsend, from Union. OF these, a
young man named Crawford was killed out
right, and another named Mitchell, sustain
ed compound eommiuuted fracture Of the
right leg and right arm. It is thought he
will not survive. Two or three others we're
injured, but not seriously: Our informant
paid high compliment to Conductors
Medlock and Walsh, who were on the train,
for their GOODNESS, skill and energy in aliay-
ing fears, restoring order, disentangliug the
wreck, and rescuing those who were buried
beneath the ruins. The engine and ono
car arrived in the oity about dark, bring
ing the mails. is said that both the suf.
fcrcrs we're standing on the platform when
they were crushed. Another warning tc
travellers who indulge in this habit.

RS The Richmond correspondent Of the
Constitutionolist, in his letter of the 18th
instant, says: ~
A letter has been received in this city, I
hear, from a prominent Louisianian, at pre-
sent in Mexico, which indicates decidedly
friendly feeling towards a recognition Of the
Confederacy as existing among some Of the
most influential adherents of the Emperor
Maximilian in that country. The Yankees
don't like the idea of Russis's sending De
Stoeckel, the late Russian Minister near
Washington, to Mexico as bearer of her re-
cognition of the new empire, and this fact
takeh in connection with the intelligence
contained in the letter to which / have re-
ferred, may possess more importance than
would seem, at the first glance to attach to
it. It is far from improbable that the first
step in general recognition of our inde-
pendence would come from our neighbor,
Mexico, acting under Louis Napoieon's pri-
gate suggestion.

The following letter, written to General
Sheridan by Col. Mosby, will show that the
murder of our men by the Yankee cavalry
in the Valley has not gone unavenged. II
is brief and to the point, and worthy of the
writer:

"GENERAL: Sometime in the month Of
September; during my absence from my

captured, by your forces, were hung and
shot in the streets of Front Royal, by the
order, and in the immediate presence, Of
Brigadier.Ge Custer. Since then, a.

fixed to the coat Of one of the murdered
men, declared shat this would be the fate
of Mosby and all bis men -.
"Since the murder Of my men, not less
than seven hundred prisoners, including
many officers Of high rank, captured from
your army by this command, have been for.
warded to Richmond but the execution OF
myspurpose of retaliation was deferred, in
order, as far as possible, to oonfne its,ope.
ration to the men of Custer and Powell
Accordingly, on the 9Th instant, seven of
your men were, by my order, executed on
the Valley pike, your highway of travel.
thereafter any prisoners falling into
my hands will be treated with the kindness
due to their condition, unless some new
act of barbarity shall compel me, reluctant
ly, to adopt Ia line of policy repugnant to
humanity. Very respectfully, your obedi-

showed that on the Sd of September, their

men, and on the 18th of October they only
numbered 1880.

between 5000 and 5000.
