An rnforunate Accident Occurred this afternoon between five and six o'cloek, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at Kendall Green, about a mile and a half out from the depot, hy which two soldiers were killed instantly and twenty-nine wounded. A troop train, with soldiers going home, met the Northern passenger train, due here at5 20 P. M. The troop train was switching oiT upon a siding to allow the passenger train to pass. Tue engineer of the passenger train, instead of waiting until the troop train had got upon the siding, kept on, without reversing his engine, and struck the middle of the troop train, demolish ing two cars containing discharged soldiers of Battery First New Jersey Artillery.

No person on the passenger train was injured. The engineer jumped from his engine and escaped. The engine was considerably injured by the collision, but none of the cars were damaged. The wounded and dead soldiers were brought to the depot on the passenger train, and the wounded were removed to the Douglas Hospital, where they were professionally treated Hy Dr. Wm.

F. Norris, Surgeon in charge. The two men killed were named Henry Sachs and Grocer. The bodies were taken to the Soldiers' Reft, at the Depot. The following is a list of the wounded who were conveyed to Douglas Hospital: John Smith, Jacob Galenbeck, Ferdinand Coyle, Dariiel McGecher, Corp.

The wounds of the others are painful, but not dangerous, being mostly bruises. The wounded and dead ail belong to the same battery, which was raised at Newark, N. and they wore on their way to that city. They are nearly all Germans, with one or two Irit-h amours them. The officers of the railroad were untiring in their exertions to mitigate the sufferings of the wounded men.

A working party was immediately despatched by Superintendent Koontt, to clear away the wreck, which was speedily accomplished. The fix and seven-thirty P. M. trains for IimasrTetphia were detained a short, time, but no detention to any other trains occurred. The Trial of IhoVonspiralors.

At the trial of the conspirators to-day, Dr. Jas. C. Hall, one of the medical gentlemen selected i to examine Payne as to his alleged insanity, gave his testimony. His opinion was such as to i justify a reasonable suspicion as to the in- sanity of Payne.

The earnest manner of the loctor and his evident reliability rro- dueed a deep impression upon the Court and as he desired to make another ex- amination, to more fully satisfy himself upon the matter, the Commission decided to have a more thorough examination made, and se- lected Dr. Stevens. Assistant Pbvsieian at. 1 be Government Insane Asylum, Surgeon-General Barnes and Surgeon Norris, to make another examination to-morrow, of the prisoner. All the evidence for the defense is now closed.

The Government has one or two more witnesses to examine, which, with the testimony of the medical gentlemen in Tayne's case, will probably occupy tomorrow's session. It is expected that the Commission will adjourn over one or two days to allow the counsel an opportunity to prepare their arguments, which will.be presented in writing. Reverdy Johnson Has prepared an argument in defense of Mrs. Surratt, which is understood to object to the jurisdiction of the Commission in trying the case, aud he cites numerous authorities in sup port of his position.
