Detention of the Orange Train
   The night train of the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, due at Lynchburg at 5 o'clock, on Friday, did not arrive until 11, the train which left there at half past 7 on Thursday night, having been thrown from the track about 35 miles from that city, in Nelson county, by running into a land-slide. With the exception of some slight damage to the engine, and one or two of the cars, no injury was sustained.
