WILMINGTON. N. C. SATURDAY. JULY 25.
WAR NEWS.
The Wilmington Light? Infan
try at Asheville Incidents of
the Trip Accident to the
Goldsboro Kilies List of the
Wounded Life in Camp,
Camp Scales. N. C, July 23.
Deau Review: Thinking possibly
that a few notes from our boys might
interest your readers, I have concluded
to pen you a brief skatch of our tf ip to
this point. We left Wilmington, as
you well know, at 9:27 on the morning
of the 2lst inst., arriving at Goldsboro
about noon of the same day, when we.
together with the Sampson Light In-
fahtry, were met at the depot by a com
mittee of tho Goldsboro IliHes and con
ducted to their armory to partake of a
tiice collation FpreaU lor us, which we
enjoyed immensely and for which we
are very much indebted to our Golds
boro comrades. The weather has been
intense ever since our departure. We
remained at Goldsboro until 5 o'clock
p.m., when we boarded tho train for
this objective point. At Greensboro
we overtook a portion of the State
Guard, and at Salisbury our train was
divided into two sections, our company
being in the last section, which
was a most, fortunate thing for
us as will bo shown as I proceed with
my letter. The boys have all been iu
splendid spirits, and mem to be having
a nice time. Of course we were very
much fatigued upon our arrival yester
day, but feel refreshed to-day. As you
have been already informed by tele
graph, the first scctiou of our train met
with an accident between this point
and Black Mountain, which is likely to
prove serious to one or two members of
the Goldsboro company. It seems
tbat the engineer was either neglectful
of his duty! or his engine got from
under bis control. In conversation
with Lieut. Bain, of the Goldsboro
company, who. by the way, was himT
self slightly hurt. I learn the train was
running at least GO miles an hour, and
in rounding a very slight curve, the car
containing the company mentioned
jumped the track and ran at least a
quarter 01 a mile, anu was men precip
itated down an embankment of about
five feet.' One other car jumped the
track, but did not leave tho crossties,
nor were any of its occupants hurt.
Following is a list of the wounded:
Capt. Hollowell, arm hurt; 1st Lt. Bain,
head wound ; F. A. Smith.scalp wound ;
J. M. Scott, dangerously injure! in
ternally; J. M. Baker, rib broken and
injured internally; J. 1. Gumn. inter
nal injuries and head wound ; II. E.
Perkins, wounded in the head; J. II.
Hill, sliehtly burton one leg; Logan
Howell.'W. B. Bireh, Chas. Miller, C
T. Taylor, J. T. Edmnndson, John
Staughtcr, J. O. Carroll and John
Cox, slight head wounds; 11. G. Pow
ell. Land crushed ; J. A, Wyatt. face
bruised.
When the accident was lirst discov
ered there was a regular panic among
those of the Guard who were fortunate
enough to escape and as too fast run
ning on the part of the engineer had
been noticed, there were serious ap
prehensions that ho would be lynched,
and possible he would have been, but
for the interposition of Cols Cotton,
of the First Regiment, and Jones, of the
Second Reginent. As it was, the en
gineer was placed under Guard and the
engine was dispatched to Asheville
for surgical assistance. Surgeon Spi
cer, of the Goldsboro Company, and
Surgeon Stevens, ot the Sampson
Light Infantry, who went on
the second section, which was
fotlowing a tew miles in rear of the
erst, were of course pretty soon at the
scene of action and rendered invaluable
services. The writer of this was order
ed by Capt. Morrison to repair to the
scene of the wreck and render any
services which might be necessary.
The distance was about half a mile and
the sun was intensely hot and being
considerably overcome by heat, laligue
and the sight of the wounded, - I soon
succumbed and fainted. I bad seen what
was coming and endeavored to avert it,
but to no purpose. Dr. Stevens render
ed me valuable services, as did others,
of tho guard, and I was soon restored to
consciousness. With the exception cited,
there was no accident of any kind to
our company.' Of course the accident to
our Goldsboro comrades has thrown a
damper over things and tho Guard are
cot in as good spirits as they otherwise
would be. It is thought that the
wounded man, Scott, will not recover.
There is great indignation against
the railroad authorities and tho
Advance of this morning
says, in commenting upon the accident,
Wo are informed that tnis engineer,
William Lowe, was some timo ago dis
charged from the employ of - the road
for reckless running and was reinstated
for this special occasion."
Camp Scales is situated about a nine
and a half from the town ot Asheville,
on an elevation, with mountains al
most encircling it.
The death of Gen. Grant has been
announced in camp and in consequence
the colors at regimental and brigade
headquarters have been placed at halt
mast as a token of respect.

The Birmingham Age, of a recent
issue, tells' a good thing on a clever
frieud of ours, Mr. Geo. C. Keiley, a
pfomiuent merchant of that city. Some
little time ago a long, lank, lean country
man, with a long, lank, lean dog in a
bag. entered the store and approaching
Mr. Ktllcy told him that he wanted to
buy a dog collar, one "of the best he
had. Mr. Keiley spread out on the
counter samples of his stock and the
countryman selected one of the costliest,
and then asked Mr. Keiley to hold the
bag while he put the collar on the dog.
He complied and as sDon as the collar
was securely fastened on the dog the
eur sprang from tho countryman's
grasp and made for the door. The
man, of course, started after him in
full chase and it is supposed that he is
still iu chase of him as neither man nor
dog nor collar have been secii since by
Mr. Keiley," who was left "to hold the
bag! This may be an old story in a
new shape but the Age vouches for it as
an actual occurronce'as narrated.
Criminal Court.
The business before this tribunal has
been unimportant since the closing 'of
our last report. The grand and petit
jurors were discharged for.the term last
night, and this morning was mainly de
yoted to hearing of motions and clean
ing up the docket.
Tho following is the report of the
grand jury :
To His Honor, Judge CI P. Meares :
The grand jury bes leave to report
that they have carefully and diligently
inquired into all business brought be
fore them, and have only granted true
bills when the evidence was sufficient
to warrant their doing so. Several
cases of misdemeanor have been
brought to their attention, but for want
of satisfactory evidence, no present
ments were made
A committee of three members of the
grand jury, including the foreman, vis
ited the Poor Hcuse and House of Cor
rection, and they find pleasure in being
able to report the premises and build
ings in most admirable condition, and
the management oil that could be
desired. They made a careful exam
ination of each department, which
we found to be scrupulously clean and
comfortable, and the inmates well car
ed for and satisfied. Many patients
and prisoners were examined as to
treatment, food and clothing, and all
were loud in their praise of the Superin
tendent, whom the committee believe
to be the right man in the right, place,
kind, thoughtful and polite, but firm
and conscientious in the discbarge of
duty. His store room we found well
supplied with good and wholesome
food, which we were informed ia well
prepared and served in sufficient quan
tities to please all. Evidences of taste
and system arc to be seen, while the
grounds give an air of comfort, and re
flect much credit upon the county.
The grand jury also visited the jail,
which they found in a cleanly condition,
and as comfortable as the weather and
surroundings will admit of. Wc heard
no complaints as to the food or man
agement, but respectfully suggest that
at bast two hot meals per day be furn
ished, instead of one, as is now the case,
and that vegetables be given at least
two days in each week. They also
sugiestthat the comfort of the prison
ers would bo greatly enhanced by re
moving the pans from which they are
fed after each meal, in order. that tbey
may be properly cleansed.Jand tbat dis
infectants be freely used throughout the
buildings and grounds.
The grand jury beg leave to call your
Honor's atlcutioa to the uncomfortable
room set apart tor their use, as being so
hot and so unpleasant from its sur
roundings that they were compelled to
take trequent recesses during each
day's session ; and they further com
plain tbat the privacy of their proceed
ings is greatly impaired by the location
of the room. t .
