Fatal Railroad Accidents.
--The Charlotte (N. C.) Bulletin, of the 28th, publishes the following:
On Saturday night, the Express train on the N. C. Railroad ran over the body of a man named John Corbett, killing him instantly.
The accident occurred about midway between High Point and Thomasville.--It is supposed he was intoxicated at the time.
A negro boy, the property of Mr. John Moore, was run over on Sunday night last, by the North Carolina train, leaving Charlotte, about one mile from town and instantly killed.
The occurrence was purely accidental.
A Shooting affair.
--We learn from Capt. M. P. Dent, of the steamer Dew Drop, that a difficulty occurred at Felix Stewart's place on Yazoo river last Monday, between two men by the name of Collier and Brown, in which the latter was stabbed with a knife and killed by the former.
A third party by the name of Moore, ordered Collier to give himself up, but refusing, he was shot in the breast with a load of buckshot, which not proving fatal, he was shot in the head with a rifle ball.
This did not prove fatal, but he will hardly recover, as his face and head were dreadfully lacerated.--Vicksburg Whig, May 17.
