From the Wilmington Journal
 
January 9, 1864
 
No Northern Mail Yet
   The detention of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail Road yesterday was caused by a tree which had broken down and fallen across the track, some fifteen or twenty miles from Wilmington. The engine and tender of the morning down mail train were thrown off the track, and the engineer and fireman pretty severely though not dangerously injured. Nobody else was hurt, which was providential.
