NP, MAP 2/28/1863

From the Memphis Appeal
 
February 28, 1863
 
   We learn that the high waters have caused considerable damage to the railroads leading from this city {Jackson}. The new bridge near Vicksburg, where the accident recently occurred, has been washed away; and between Jackson and Meridian the track is injured so as to allow of the passage of but very light trains. The bridge over the Chunkey has been rebuilt. On the Central road above Canton we learn one bridge was washed away. All these hindrances to travel will be removed in a day or two.
