Distressing Rail Road Accident. We are
panied TO learn that most distressing accident oc-
CURED on Tuesday night above Marietta, on the
State road, by which @. F. NJ Garnet, the State
engineer had one Of his thighs broken in two
places, his assistant, Mr. Stockton, had both his
legs broken and horribly mangled, and the con.
ductor, whose name we did not learn, had one leg
entirely cut off. This is the account we have
had of this dread affair, and, it has reached US so
direct, that we fear it is not exaggerated. .-.'

The Engine left the depot with load of iron to
be transported to the point at which they were
laying down the rail, leaving a car laden with
iron at the point from which they started, the
wheels of which during their absence became I'm


scotthed, and it being down grade the car moved
off considerable distance up the road. The En-
gine having deposited the iron, was returning in
the night, pushing the cars upon which were
Messrs Garnet, Stockton and the conductor) a.
head, and as the Engineer was unconscious Of
danger, ran into the car which had escaped from
