The late accident on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad. --The Abingdon Democrat furnishes us with the following particulars of the fearful accident which occurred on Sunday night last, on the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, one and a half miles west of Abingdon. A train of cars loaded with Louisiana troops, (Col. McGinnis' regiment,) was ascending the grade on the opposite side of the creek; and just east of the bridge a collision took place.

I have known Col. Presion from boyhood, and have ever found him kind-hearted, high-minded and honorable — none more so — and pronounce him to be one of the best field officers in South western Virginia. Yours, Scott.
