Accident.?On Sunday night last there was j
a coliisioL on thg lower Potomac river, between I
the transport Massachusetts and the propeller
Black Diamond, by which the latter vessel was
so much injured that it sank immediately,
with five or sis men from the Quarter Masters'
Department in this place, who were drowned.
The steamer Massachusetts had on board some
300 soldiers for City Point, and, it. is said,
some 40 or 50 of these were knocked overboard
when the vessels struck, and were lost.
The cities and towns in the country are
making sanitary regulations, earlier this year
than usual. The portent of the .plague in
Europe gives such a notice as cannot, or rather
ought not, to be disregarded. We understand
that the authorities, military and civil, here,
will take steps for the adoption of health re-1
gelations. ' The number and character of the j
shanties imperatively require this.
