An Atrocious outrage
   We copy the following from the Memphis (Tenn.) Appeal, of the 25th:
   We have announced that an attempt was made to burn the railroad bridge, a short distance this side of Clarksville {on the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR}, last week. The Jeffersonian {in northeast Tennessee? on the East Tennessee & Virginia?} gives information of another outrage, by which, on Saturday night last, a train of twenty-five cars containing soldiers was thrown on the track near Budd's Creek, and a short time since a large log was placed on the track. The villains who commit such outrages as this should be ferreted out and brought to summary punishment.
