THE ACCIDENT ON THE DANVILLE RAILROAD. – About thirty-four miles above Richmond, as stated in yesterday’s “Enquirer,” an accident occurred on the Danville Railroad, causing the death of five persons, one of whom was Mr. Little, of Pulaski county, another, Mr. Kent, (elsewhere mentioned,) of this city, and the other three were negroes on board the train. The engine was not thrown off, but some defect in the track becoming developed before the train could get over, threw off two coaches, with the result above mentioned, injuring slightly several other passengers.
