Georgia Railroads Damaged
   The Macon Telegraph of the 10th says:
   The rain Tuesday night was the heaviest witnessed for many years throughout Middle Georgia. Every railroad running towards Macon, except the Macon & Western, was washed away in places, and a general stoppage or detention of trains followed. The Southwestern line, we learn, was so badly injured that it will be some days before the trains can pass over it. Over three hundred feet of the Central {(of Georgia)} track, between Nos. 14 and 15 were washed away, and passengers will have to exchange cars until it is restored.
