FROM PADUCAH--.THE PICKET
GUARD.

We have received, through the kindness of
a friend, No. 3 Of ths Union Picket Guard,
published at Paducab, KY, by the abolition in
vaders at that place. Camp jokes are the
principal contents Of the number before US,
and consequently We find but little worthy Of
notice.
Oae item Of news is a confirmation Of the
reported accident noticed by US Tuesday morn
ing, as having occurred on the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi railroad. The Guard says that the
train vas conveying the 18TH Illinois regiment
to Washington, and while crossing Beaver
creek, one hundred miles west Of Cincinnati,
the bridge gave way. -Four ears were precipi-
tated into TIE creek, and crushed into a pro-
miscuOug ruin. The latest and most reliable ac-
eOu1ts represent that from forty to fifty were
killed, and nearly one hundred wounded, by the
terrible disaster.
cZ-The MIssissipytGn, Of the 9th instant,
states that the State troops under Gems. West
and AlcorD have been transferred to the Con.
Tolerate service, and assigned to the depart
ment commanded by Gen. h. S, Johnston. TIE
brigade under Gen. O'Fsrrsll has marching
orders. We suppose the troops stationed at
Pass Christian, if no. already, will soon be
transferred also. Mississippi is fully enlisted
in the great cause Of independence, and soon
she will have 10000 Of her bravest and best
men in The service Of tire government. She has
not a dollar nor 4 man that she is not willing
to give to the country.
I EEn 4 G T,Ty-ar1v ~ -. Tt. Ct
weston Nei0s states that OIL Gen. A. S. John
ston's arrival in San Antonio from Arizona be
vas promptly rendered the compliment Of
public ball. He declined, en- the ground Of his
great desire to reach Richmond, Va, at the
earliest possible moment. An artillery salute
was fred il honor Of bis arrival, and g sers
made given hin in the evening. In Houston
also, Gen. Johnston Was rendered a public re-
cePtion ara banquet, in behalf Of the city,
which be declined, as lie wished to visit many
old friends, AID could no. do that and also be
present at q public ceremony.
c. We learn from the Louisiana Herald Of
the All. NJ. Henry ]. Reese, brother of VIM.
h. Reese, was, On The 18th inst waylald and
slot, about halt a mile from Ouachita City.
Mr.. Vim. Reese had had some difficulty with
parties about improvements On land be had

says that the deceased had thTee brothers.

1.-THE Richmond Eagairer states. on what
it deems good authority, that General BIcCul-
loch's backward movement from Missouri was
IN consequence Of an order to that effect, made
on the part Of the military Boardo Of AIkan-
sas, to which General McCulloch was con-
strained to hold biuself subject. Great dis
satisfaction was manifested at this iniudicious
and untimely interference Of the authorities Of
Arkansas, and its serious disarrzngement Of
the campaign in missouri.
FRoN lRELAND.--A dvices from England

the "EmeTald Isle" is recovering her former
