F116M THE WEST.
Auaus-rA, April 4.-Late Montgoin.
ery papers state that Gpn. Qlanton was
wounded three times in the late fight
with the YAnkeos. around Pollard, and
was captured-and died in the hanl of
the enemy.
\. terrible accident occurred on the
Muscogee railroad, near Columbus, Ga.
A freight train ran - off the track and
5,000 podnds of powder exploded with
terrible effect. Five of the seven cars
attached to the engidle were knocked to
pieces: The clay beneath the cars was
plowed to the depth of from four to' five ,
feet. Henry Rabston, and his negro
boy, were killed. The former was
blown fifty feet and horribTy mangled..
Two cars of molasses and tobacco wero
blown promiscuously over the woods.
The explosion was caused by the con.
cussion of several thousand pounds of tor
pedo fuses, which exploded from the
jolting when the cars ran off. The noise
was heard for the distance of fifty miles.
Several persons were wounded.
- News - from Savannah reports that
large quant.ities cf goods are being ship
ped to New.York for tlhe wantof a mar.
ket. A large number of runaway no.
groes are shot daily by scouts, in the
vicinity of Savannah and Charleston.
There is little chance for' any of them to
got into Savannah. The garrison of the
city is reported to be 2500 troops, two.
thirds of which are negroes. The Yau
kees took from Lamar his Confederate
money and securities, and paid him with
it for his own cotton. A fatal epidemic
is prevailing amongst numbers in the
city. Thirty die daily. The Yankees
have erected a new line withintheir old
line of fortifications. They ran them
through the Catholic cemetary, and did
not permit the removal of remains by
relatives.
