Railroad accident. --On Sunday afternoon last an accident occurred on the Petersburg railroad, which caused the loss of a valuable engine and bridge. Mr. Stanley, superintendent of the Government road near Petersburg, came to this city to obtain an additional engine, and was given the mammoth locomotive "Jos. R. Anderson" Starting from here with two white and two colored assistance, he proceeded in safety to Swift Creek, two miles and a half from the Cockade city, when the abutment of the bridge over that creek gave way, precipitating the locomotive and tender into the creek a distance of forty feet, smashing up the engine, seriously injuring one of the negroes, and bruising the other four slightly. One of the injured servants, it is thought, will die. In consequence of this accident the passenger train will leave here at 5 o'clock A. M., and but one train each way will be run per day till the bridge is repaired, which will probably be done in three or four days.
