Sad accident.

--An accident occurred last Saturday on the railroad near Weldon, N. C., by which two privates in Capt. Brevard's Company, of the Second Florida Regiment, lost their lives. Their names were Searcey and Russell. They were on the top of one of the cars, and the unfortunate soldiers were knocked off as the train passed under a bridge. The practice of riding on the top of care is unsafe, even when travelers are acquainted with the road over which they may be passing; and warnings like that above noticed should be heeded by our troops whose lives are now valuable to the country.
