We take the following paragraphs from the Memphis Appeal of the 7th inst.:
Land Slide on the Memphis & Clarksville Railroad  {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR}
   A heavy slide occurred on the Memphis & Clarksville Railroad 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.
