From the Clarksville, Tenn. Jeffersonian

   Mr. Geo. B. Fleece, Superintendent of the Rail Road from Bowling Green, Ky. to Paris, Tenn. {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR}, has been placed by Gen. Johnson, in charge of the road from Bowling Green to Nashville {Louisville & Nashville RR}, also. Mr. Fleece is one of the most competent and intelligent rail road men in the Southern States, and has had a very large experience. The demands upon the roads leading to Bowling Green, owing to the presence of our large army there, are very heavy, and impose a vast amount of labor upon the officers of the roads, and especially upon the Superintendents, consequently the appointment to the charge of all these lines involves a high compliment to Mr. Fleece's abilities which we are confident his management of the roads will fully justify.
