Our combinations have proved successtal io defeating the enemy’s desigus. We baye taken A number of prisoners, and have re-captured many of those takenfromus. Our forces drove the enemy out of Petersburg.

Se LOCAL NEWS. pea Particulars of the Railroad Accident at the Long Kridge. ONE MAN KILLED AND A NUMBER WOUNDED. The accident at the Long Bridge, to which we briefly referred in our first edition, oc: abouteleyen o'clock.

The tencer of the engin ling apperently broke its couplings and doubied r upon the engine, and it v followed by cre of the cars, the end which is completely ashed, the front wheels lying upon the ten- r. The car immediately behind this one ran under it and caught the leg of a soldier between the two serious!y mashing his leg. ‘The engine was the “Chauncy Vibbard.” and the train consisted of five cirs loaded with jumter. There were on the train twenty soldiers of the 6ist regiment, Pa. volunteers, who were on their way to the front to join their rr and all of whom were more or less injered. Four of them itis known had broken Jimbs. All of the wounded were conveyed at once to Armory Square Hospital, and we haye not been able lo obtain the names ofany except the following, viz:—Jno. Young, wounded in cheek and arm sprained; Thos. Best, arm badly bruised; Adam Kiesler. thigh bruised; —— tcente r, leg badly mashed: Hugh Gorman, leg broken. The engineer, Wm. H. Sadler, was never seen after going on the bridge, and ther? is no doubt but be went down with his engine. One soldier, who was taken out of the water badly wounded, says that while he was under the water his hand touched the head of aman, which appeared to be hanging by the neck— threat cut. This was no doubt the ill-fated engineer. Sadler has been running on this road bat about two months, but was heretofore a trusted engineer on the B. & O. R. R. Isane Cobell, the fireman, sayed himself by jumping from the tender just as it was passing upon the bridge. He, however, sustained some bruises by jumping, but nothing serious. Capt. D! H. Cuyler, of the Invalid Corps, who has command at the bridge is in no wise respousible for the accident, as the universal testimony of parties who were present is that he took all the usual precautions to prevent ac- cidents. Workmen sre vow engaged clearing away the wreck, and eforts are ulso being made to recover the body of the Engineer. The accident will probably prevent the ase ot the bridge for travel fo cay, at least, as considerable mjury was done to the draw. red yards, and ae ee CRIMINAL Court, Judge Olin.—Yesterday, aiter our report closed, in the case of Jeremiah Hendrick, indicted for the muider of Dennis Shanahan on the 26th of December last, at the house of the latter, near the corner of ist and L streets north, Mr. Carrington, for the pros- ecution, opened the case, and wus followed by Mr. J. 0. Clayton (who is associated with Mr. Putney) for ibe detence. ‘Lhe facts of the case appear to be as follows: Henericks, who is a teamster, bought an old Siove from 4 woman, and he and the deceased hud a quarrel aboutit. They, however, sepa- tated, and it is alleged that on the same night Hendricks went to the house of the deceased ard challenged him to fight, but Shanahan re- fused to go out, and Hendricks left, butreturned about 12 o'clock and knocked at the door, when Shanahan invited him in, and Hendricks in- vited him out, but Shanahan only went to the door, when some words passed about the stove, and Hendricks plunged the knife in the stomach of deceased and ran off, but the wife of th» de- coped pursued him, and two soldiers arrested im. The evidence for the prosecution closed this morning, and the evidence for the defence was ecmmenced. Forn’s New THEATER.‘ Lady Isabel, of East Lynne,” again this evening, at this fash- ionable and popular temple of the drama, and it we may judge from the crowded and de- lighted audiences that nightly witness Mrs. Bowers’ powerful acting of the heroine, we should say there would be no occasion for any change of performance for many nights to come. Yet, notwithstanding this fact, theman- agement annource but one more reprecentation of this highly effective play, which is to be withdrawn to make room for the production of another powerful play founded on an incident in the French Secret Departmentof Police, and in which Mrs. Bowers has a role in wtich she is said to excel all others. The tay.7Of “The Mummy,” with Mr. Bishop’ in the principal eharaciey concludes the performance this eve- ning. settee CRS -WaASHINGTON THEATER—Miss Laura Keene. ‘re appears to be no exception to the rule of ‘owded and fashionable audiences at this es- blichment. Last evening the fair Lessee pro- duced her celetrated play of “Our 0 Cousin.” It is pleasing tothe critic at all times to accord praise where it is legitimately due, and we must say that the comedy, as placed pon the stage last night, was all the manage- ment had promised—excellence in every point. ‘The orchestra was enlarged, and gave univer- tal satisfaction.
