Fatal Railroad Accidents.

--The Charlotte (N. C.) Bulletin, of the 28th, publishes the following:

‘ On Saturday night, the Express train on the N. C. Railroad ran over the body of a man named John Corbett, killing him instantly. The accident occurred about midway between High Point and Thomasville.--It is supposed he was intoxicated at the time.

A negro boy, the property of Mr. John Moore, was run over on Sunday night last, by the North Carolina train, leaving Charlotte, about one mile from town and instantly killed. The occurrence was purely accidental.
