LOUISVILLE, March 18. – Yesterday morning the train for
Bowling Green to Nashville was intercepted at Gallatin by a party of rebel
cavalry under the notorious Captain John Morgan who ran the train off the track
and took prisoner about thirty bridge builders employed to erect a bridge over
the Cumberland river.
A locomotive of the Memphis branch of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad exploded at Russelville depot yesterday, killing the engineer,
conductor, porter and a brakeman. This closes
communication on the branch for the present.
