The train which leaves the latter city at 4:30 pm, and known as train No. 2, ran off the track two hundred yards north of Budd&#8217;s Creek. The engine and tender crashed into the trestle work, and one sleeping car down off the trestle, which was fifteen feet high. <strong>Mr.<\/strong> <strong>MCGUIRE<\/strong>, the express messenger, and a German passenger, whose name was not ascertained, were instantly killed. <strong>Mr.<\/strong> <strong>HOWARD<\/strong>, the baggage master, had an arm and a leg broken; and the arms and legs of two passengers, whose names are unknown, were also broken. Ten other passengers were injured, more or less, but none dangerously.<\/span><br \/>\nAs soon as the wounded persons could be gotten together, and means of conveyance procured, they were expeditiously taken back to Clarksville, and furnished at Moore&#8217;s and National hotels, with all the appliances necessary to their condition.
