From the Clarksville, Tenn. Jeffersonian
 
October 22, 1861
 
   Budd's Creek bridge, about ten miles from this place, on the Memphis & Clarksville Railroad {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR}, was burned in three places, on Saturday night last. It was undoubtedly the work of some Lincoln incendiary. Our military authorities cannot be too vigilant in the protection of our Railroad and river. Let guards be stationed at each bridge, as has been done in East Tennessee, for we have almost as much to fear as the Railroad Co's., in that division of the State. "A stitch in time, &c."
