Conductor Wilson started for another etiglno and on the way heard a pistol shot, and a ball passed through his hat, Sovoral other i wero fired, and pwwongew say that they saw five men standing near who were shown by tho flashes ot their pistols, but no was hit. Two bolls passed through the baggage car. examining the track it was found that the fish bars connecting tho rails on both sides of the track had been uujolnted, aud the ends of the rails moved so that tho train would run down tho enbankment Tho phots fired and tho men seen leavo no doubt that ihis was a scheme to run the whole train down the bank, rob the express and plunder the passengers. That it was not carrion out may bo explained by the fact that the night was so lnlemoiy dark, that it rained heavily, and that the trein was only running at a speed of about of about ten miles an boar.
