RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS.


Some days since we mentioned the fact that the
Vicksburg and Jackson Railroad had been purchased
by number of wealthy and enterprsng gentlemen,
remarked that this purchase would facilitate the CON
struction of the Southern Railroad from Brandon
eastward and expressed regret that we had not the
details of the important transaction to spread before
our readers. Since then we have received copy of
the Jackson Missssippan, containing an article that
throws considerable light on the subject. The $ub
Joined extracts are interesting:

This arrangement, it strikes us, is so ample and
advantageous throughout, that it must secure the
completion of the Southern to the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad at an early day. The energy that has
accomplished the union of the two companies, as
above described will assuredly drive the other enter
prise to successful termination In truth, it may be
well said, the hardest part Of the work has already
been DONE and nothing now can stop the progress O.

Speaking Of the results likely to flow from the com
