Southern {(of Mississippi)} Railroad
   At a meeting of the board of managers of the Southern railroad at Selma, Ala., recently, steps were taken to turn over to the Government the stock owned in the company by V. F. Wits and A. B. Reading, of Vicksburg, who have become alien enemies. By this action of the board, there were four vacancies to be filled in the directory -- the vacancies occasioned by the death of Messrs. Wm. C. Smedes and Joseph H. Johnston having never been filled, in consequence of the impossibility of obtaining a quorum. Lieut. Thos. M. Smedes, Col. Thos. S. Dabney, Geo. Smedes, Esq., and Lieut. Geo. Donnellan, were elected to fill the vacancies.
