Car burnt.

--As the cars of the Petersburg Railroad Company were on their way to this city yesterday, sparks from the engine set fire to a long car loaded with cotton and one hogshead of bacon. As soon as the flames were discovered efforts were made to stay their progress. The cotton was consumed, the hogshead of bacon saved. The accident delayed the train several hours.
