A sad Accident.

--We regret to learn that a member of the 30th Virginia regiment lost his life on the cars, between Weldon and Goldsboro', on Wednesday last. A number of soldiers were in transitu on flats. About two miles beyond Enfield just as the engine and train were entering a bridge crossing Fishing creek, the engine gave a sudden jerk, which threw Mr. John Lunsford between two cars, severing his body in twain, and cutting off both hands. He was killed instantly. Mr. L. was a member of the Sparta Guards, Capt. Gouldin's company, Caroline county, Va.-- Fredericksburg Herald.
