Diabolical.

--As the down train on the Va. and Tenn. Railroad approached Buford's Depot Tuesday, it came near being thrown over a precipice sixty feet deep. Some fiend had removed a rail from its place which was not observed in time, and the cars dashed on over the gap, though fortunately they were not thrown off. The Franklin. Light Horse and Rifle companies were on board, but happily "nobody was hurt." Suspicion rests upon a discharged employee of the road.--Lynchburg Virginian.
