Railroad accident.

--We learn from the Columbus (Ga.) Sun that a sad accident occurred on the Muskogee Railroad on Friday last. The evening train for Macon, when some sixteen miles from the city of Columbus, was precipitated into a culvert which had been washed away by heavy rains. Mr. Douglas C. Moore and a negro boy were instantly killed, and others severely injured. The engine, baggage car and tender were smashed to atoms, and the baggage of the Columbus Volunteers, who were on the train at the time, was completely wrecked. Had the volunteers been in the car provided for them, few would have escaped.
