From Paducah.

--We have received, (says the Memphis Appeal,) through the kindness of a friend. No. 8 of the Union Picket Guard, published at Paducah, Ky., by the abolition invaders at that place. Camp, jokes are the principal contents of the number before us, and consequently we find but little worthy of notice.

One item of news is a confirmation of the reported accident noticed by us Tuesday morning, as having occurred on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. The Guard says that the train was conveying the 19th Illinois regiment to Washington, and while crossing Beaver Creek, one hundred miles west of Cincinnati, the bridge gave way. Four cars were precipitated into the creek, and crushed into a promiscuous ruin. The latest and most reliable accounts represent that from forty to fifty were killed, and nearly one hundred wounded, by the terrible disaster.
