The Fourth Minnesota

This regiment, whose martial appearance attracted so much attention in our city, a few weeks ago, met with a very serious accident, the telegraph informs us, while going up the Tennessee river.  They were on the steamer Gladiator, when the upper deck gave way, and five or six were killed, and a number of others injured.  Their names have not transpired.
