Neither of the regular trains cached our depot yesterday. Two breaks nve been made in the road above here. Cbont 40 feet of f.lie trcwel on Beaver Dam wnmp has been washed away, the other reak is in the tresscl at Spearman's but this nets short and will soon bo repaired. We have learned that the train from Laui?ns met with a sad accident. As it was oming down, the einbnnktncnt above Marin's depot suddenly gave way, and the cars 'ere thus thrown together and very much ij tired, but we have heard of no loss of life, r serious injury to any person. The bndge on the public road leading by udge O'Neall's Mills on Bush river lias ecu partly washed away. The bridge at lobo's Mills has been also washed away. The bridge at Chancellor's, now Williams' lilU biw also shared the fate of Bobo's. The nidgo across Beaver Dam, on tlio road to ligcins' ferry ha* been swept away.
