From the New Orleans True Delta

The Clarksville (Tenn.) Jefferson of the 5th says:
   The cars upon the railroad through this place south {Memphis, Clarksville & Louisville RR}, have been crowded for the past ten days with southerners, who have been residing in the north, but who were compelled to flee to escape being pressed into the service of the Lincoln despotism. Quite a number of these emigrants were from St. Louis and other parts of Missouri.
