Damage to the Southern {(of Mississippi)} Railroad
   The Jackson Mississippian of Tuesday says:
   We learn that for a space of several hundred yards, between Bolton and Edwards, this road has been overflowed and so injured as to obstruct travel for several days. The damage has prevented many members of the legislature from reaching this city in time to enter upon the duties of the extra session.
   The Mississippian adds:
   The telegraph wires are all down, and we are consequently without late intelligence this morning.
