NP, C 2/22/1861

From the The Confederation (Montgomery, Ala.)
 
February 22, 1861
 
Southern {(of Mississippi)} Railroad Completed
   The Vicksburg Whig, of the 6th says the iron has been laid on the entire track between that city and the terminus at Meridian, in Lauderdale county, connecting with the Mobile & Ohio Railroad. A bridge, which had been completed, but was washed away by a late heavy freshet, alone prevents the cars from running through. By the 4th of March, we learn the entire line will be open to business and travel.
