-gON Tuesday last the freight train from Rich
mond, on the Va Central Railroad, ran off the
track at the Western end of the Blue Ridge Tun-

several others. This occasioned delay in the
arrival of the up mail train. The facts were tel
egraphed to this point and Mr.. H. D. Whitcomb,
Chief Superintendent, who had just arrived on
the Western train, sent that train on Immediately
and brought up the passengers, mails &c. about
p. M. The track was cleared as speedily as
possible and the mail train arrived here about
midnight. With the demolition of one freight
car it was somewhat singular that the freight
