Land Slide on the Memphis and Clarksville Railroad
   The Memphis Appeal, of the 7th says:
   A heavy land slide occurred on the Memphis and Clarksville Railroad {the Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR} yesterday morning, some distance east of the Tennessee river, which prevented trains from reaching the bridge. A large force of laborers will be necessary to remove the obstruction within the next three days. Between forty and fifty cars belonging to the Memphis & Ohio Railroad are detained east of the point where the accident occurred.
