Horrible death. --On Saturday last a deserter named Elijah Hicks of Stokes county, and belonged to co A, 2d N C battalion, came to a most horrible death under the following circumstances: He had been confined in Richmond and was being taken to Salisbury for punishment When near Jamestown he had succeeded in cutting a hole through the back of the freight car in which he, with other prisoners, rode, sufficiently large to get through. He pulled out the coupling pin to detach the rear cars, and then pushed himself through feet foremost, Unfortunately for him the train was rapidly going down grade, and instead of finding a space to drop into between the cars, the rear carried over him mangling his body horribly and causing instant death. --Goldshore' State Journal.
