Singular and fatal accident.
--The Knoxville Register, of the 9th, records a lamentable accident which occurred at Athens, Tenn, a few days ago, as follows:
Lieut. J. T. Havis, of Captain Chambers's company, Bradford's regiment, stepped into the express car at Athens on his way to join his regiment at London.
Upon the arrival of the up train the news of our victory near Corinth reached Athens, when a simultaneous fleering and shouting commenced.
He having a double-barrel shot gun in his hand, put it through the window to fire.
He being left-handed, held the gun some little distance from his face and pulled the trigger.
The first barrel missed fire, when, trying the other, both barrels went off simultaneously, causing such a heavy rebound that the butt of the gun striking him in the face, literally fore his hand to pieces, killing him instantly.
