Manassas JUNCTION, Dec. 27.—Last night, at about 6 o’clock, the second p. m. train from Brandy Station ran off the embankment at Bristow Station, destroying several yards ot the track, the locomotive and four cars, besides killing tour men and wounding fifteen. At the time of the accident, the train was moving at the rate of at least 20 miles an hour. At Brisiow Station, where there is a switch, the track isin a bad condition. Within eighty yards of the scene of the accident is a bridge ot considerable size, which must have given way had the train proceeded farther, thus rendering certain the loss of at east one hundred lives. It is stated as the cause of the catastrophe, that the switch having become unmoyable tur- ther than toa certain point, the person whose duty it was to change it ran up the track to- wards the coming train and attempted to stop it; but being unprovided with either lantern or torch, his efforts were fruitless. The frequent occurrence of accidents on this military railroad is beginning to attract the notice of the authorities. The trains are car- ried at too great a speed over the road, which is in poor condition, and, seemingly, not often inspected. On starting trom Rappahannock Station, @ car in the same train was thrown from the track and demolished—the passengers merely escaping death from the fact that there were people on the side roads to signal the en- gineer. In this case, as in the more fatal one which succeeded, there was a bridge within a few yards of the place where the accident oc- curred. The killed were Chas. F. Robinson, citizen of Philadelphia, and formeriy a lieutenant in tne 12ist Pennsylvania yolunteers; Henry Young, ecmpany G, lith Pennsylvania Reserves; - Bread, com pany H, §th Pennsylvania Reser yes, and one man unknawn. Fiiteen men (soldiers) were also wounded. The wounded men were at once remoyed to the hospital ot the 3d division, sth corps, under the charge of Dr. Phill ps, who, assisied by Dr. Grim. of the 12th Reserves, gaye them every a‘tention their cases demanded. They were ail doing well this morning. The track wes repaired during the night, and trains are Low running as usual. Had this accident occurred two hours before, the loss of life would have been fearful. Common humanity demands an investigation of the daily accidents on this road, and tho prompt punishment of those by whose negli- gence they are caused.

The citizens of Calais and Eastport have formed themselves into Home Guards, and obtained arms and ammunition, holding ene iyes in readiness to resist any hostile attack. Searching Steamers—Seizure of Arms New York, Dec. 27._The United States Marchal yesterday found quite a numberof revolvers among the passengers on the steamer Morning Star, all of which were taken away and given in charge of the purser.
