Railings are very much needed at the east and west ends of the Broad street culvert, to prevent persons from falling over the embankments at night and killing themselves.
Some few evenings since a crippled soldier fell over this embankment and was very much bruised.
By the expenditure of a few dollars the city may save some valuable life.
The Conference.
--This body, which has been in session at the Broad street M. E. Church, in this city, for several days past, yesterday sat with closed doors.
It is understood that this was done for the purpose of investigating some enrages of very grave nature, affecting the morality of one or two members of the Conference.

The Broad street accident.
--In our notice of the accident in Broad street, published yesterday, we unintentionally committed two errors.
The name of the youth killed was Geo. W. Rose, and not Joseph Rows. --His funeral expenses were paid by Mr. H. M. Jones, with whom he lived, and not by the Fredericksburg Railroad Company.
Virginia Bible Society.
--At an annual meeting of the Virginia Bible Society, held at the Broad street Methodist Church, on Friday evening last, Rev. Mr. Woodbridge took the chair, and after singing the hymn "from Greenland's icy mountains," and reading from the Scriptures (55th chap.
Isaiah,) and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Brown, editor of the Central Presbyterian--the annual report was read by Dr. Doggett, the Secretary of the Society.
The report gave well the details of the operation of the Society during the past year, which we are not able to give in this abstract.
Among other items they have given out 9,000 bibles--10,000 testaments, and 50,000 gospels to the soldiers east of the Mississippi.
In addition to which has been distributed, they have sold 20,000 copies of the scriptures.
These form only a portion of the books purchased in England by Dr. Hoge.
The remainder are on the way, and some of them will be on hand very shortly.
After the reading of the report, interest

New military prison.
--The Columbia (South Carolina) Guardian thinks the announcement that Killian's mills, ten miles above Columbia, has been selected for the site of the new Confederate States military prison may be premature.
The Guardian adds:
"The officers and engineer charged with this duty have been examining several places in this neighborhood — Nassau island, near Geiger's mills, a tongue of land still higher up, at or above the junction of the Broad and Salude rivers and Lightwood knot Springs, on the Charlotte railroad.
We have not heard of a decision, though it may have been made, as stated by the Bulletin."

The news.
The fall of Columbia.
Columbia has fallen.
Sherman marched into and took possession of the city yesterday morning.
This intelligence was communicated yesterday by General Beauregard in an official dispatch.
Columbia is situated on the north bank of the Congress river, just below the confluence of the Saluda and Broad rivers.
From General Beauregard's dispatch it appears that on Thursday evening the enemy approached the south bank of the Congress and threw a number of shells into the city.
During the night they moved up the river, and yesterday morning forded the Saluda and Broad.
Whilst they were crossing these rivers, our troops, under General Beauregard, evacuated Columbia.
The enemy soon after took possession.
Through private sources we learn that two days ago, when it was decided not to attempt the defence of Columbia, a large quantity of medical stores, which it was thought impossible to remove, were destroyed.
The female employees of the Treasu

The news.
The fall of Columbia — Sherman's movements.
As stated by us on Saturday, on the authority of a dispatch from General Beauregard to the President.
Sherman marched into and took possession of Columbia last Friday morning, our troops withdrawing from the city just as his forces crossed the Broad river, several miles above.
We have just now no means of ascertaining the amount of Government property necessarily left to fall into the hands of the enemy.
We, however, know that for more than a week the removal from the place of Government stores and other property has been pushed forward with all possible dispatch, which gives us reason to hope that the most valuable portion had been gotten away in safety.
We had there, it seems, a quantity of medical stores, one half of which were brought off, the rest destroyed by our authorities, their removal being found impracticable.
It was reported on Saturday that the Treasury Note Lithograph Establishment had been left behind.
