The Ninth's Doings in Richmond.
 RICHMOND, Nov 3.-Major Horace B. Sar- gent and Capt. A. Lincoln, of General Sut- toms brigade staff, and Captain D. P. Dolan, of the Ninth Massachusetts regiment. com posing the commission appointed by the Ad- jutant General of Massachusetts to investi- gate the charges against the Ninth Massachu- setts regiment on their late visit to this city and Yorktown, commenced their investiga- ton here to day. As it is the desire of the commissioners that no publication of testi- mony be made until their report be made, the reporters of the Richmond press agreed to say nothing about it. Evidence was taken down by Captain Lincoln. When all the tes- timony is taken it will be furnished to the Adjutant General of Massachusetts with such recommendations as the commission may see fit to make.
 The Mayor had the police summon wit nesses, and by o'clock seven or eight citi- zeus were on hand to testify. During the day the witnesses multiplied and this after noon, when the court of inquiry adjourned till tomorrow, forty persons had given their evidence. About two thirds of the witnesses were females, the majority being school girls. Among the witnesses was 6 prominent wholesale grocer. He saw two soldiers of the Ninth hug two young ladies on Main street. Other witnesses testified to similar acts of outrageous conduct. Some of the young ladies testified that soldiers had not only hugged them, but had made indecent propo- sitions. The testimony is overwhelming against the soldiers. The investigation was not held with closed doors, but the officers requested the local press not to publish the proceedings. Each officer is lawyer and the investigation was conducted in business like manner. It is thought they will get through tomorrow. They have been hand somely entertained by the military and pri- vate citizens.

 Foot Caught n ,s Erog-A Terrible situa-
 tion.
 Daniel Horan, young man employed at the Nauga}uek yard as switchman, was the victim of a severe and distressing accident last evening while engaged in switching freight cars opposite the Belknap manufae- tory. He stepped between two cars to pull out the coupling pin, but in attempt ing to step back found, to his horror, that his foot had become firmly wedged between the two rails at the frog. There was no escape for him, and two of the cars backed up over his left foot, crushing and mangling it into shapeless mass and nearly severing the limb about three inches above the ankle. The rim of the car wheel cut through the boot in three places and wrenched it from the foot After the passed, Horan was assisted away from the track by fellow workman, who bound handkerchief tightly around the mangled limb above the wounded part, for the purpose of stopping the profuse flow of blood. He then obtained a wagon and took the injured man to his boarding place in State street. Horan bore his injuries with remarkable fortitude, making no complaint and not uttering groan. Last evening Drs. Lewis, Lauder and Wordin amputated the leg about midway below the foot and ankle. Horan bore the operation well and will prob ably recover. Some time ago after the oc- currence of similar accident at the yard, the company made the frogs safe against such dangers by blocking them with wood. Most of these blocks have since been worn out or displaced and were not renewed.- Bridgeport F'd7me1.
