A young lady Crushed to death by machinery.

--A heart-rendering accident occurred at the mills of Major Warren, on Beale street, yesterday, which resulted in the almost immediate death of a Miss J. Denman, of Port Gibson, Miss.

Miss Denman came to this city several days ago, and was to return home on Monday to make preparations for her approaching marriage with Major Warner, of Port Gibson, to whom she had been engaged for some time. Doubtless she had purchased her bridal trousseau and was happily contemplating the event so soon to transpire. Yesterday, in company with two young ladies of this city — Miss Capers and Miss Walker — she visited the mills above mentioned; an inspection of the premises was suggested, to which ready assent was given. Approaching too near the machinery, Miss Denman's dress was caught, and she was drawn between two wheels, and mangled in a horrible manner. She survived but a few minutes.

Miss Denman was accomplished and esteemed, and her sudden and awful death will be deeply deplored by a large circle of relatives and friends. She was, previous to the war, in affluent circumstances, but of late was obliged to maintain herself by teaching school at West Point, Miss.--Memphis Bulletin.
