ACCIDENT TO TIE LONG BRIDGE. The
Washington Chronicle Of this morning says
"As the tug Diana, having two large coal
schooncrs in tow, (the Charlucr, Of Stonington,
and the Peerless, Of Salem,) was attempting to
pass through the south draw OF the Long
Bridge, yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock,
the schooner Charmcr became so unmanageable
in her steering apparatus, from excessive freight
forward, that she collidcd with the bridge, car
rying away portion of the carrageway of the
same, and damaging the structure to the ex-
tent oil 81. 800 The schooner had a large hole
stove in her bow. and now lies at anchor short
distance from the brgde. The officials OF the
Baltimore aud Potomac Railroad Company
we're in consultation with counsel at late hour
last night in regard to the propriety of taking
action for damages, which it has been estlma.
ted it will rake at least ten days to repair.
Fortunately the portion Of the bridge devoted
to railway uses was but slightly injured and the
Southern train passed over last night as usual,
though the late local trains were delayed, the
passengers having to walk across the break.
The local trains commenced running regularly
again this morning, but the wagon way will be
inpassablc for some days.
