   The Louisiana Baptist, of the 14th inst., says, the stockholders of the V., S., & T. Railroad {Vicksburg, Shreveport & Texas RR} have bought out the late contractors. They also bought ninety negroes, who were at work on the road at the time. We learn they will put those hands to work immediately west of Monroe, and contemplate bridging the Ouachita during the summer.
