| 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. |
