A Losing Game
   The Northern holders of the Mississippi Central Railroad bonds did not make anything, but, on the contrary, it appears, were losers by the arrest of Col. Walter Goodman, President of that road, in New York. He addressed the citizens of Grenada, Miss., on the night of the 14th inst. The Rural Gentleman says:
   He gave, as we learn, an interesting account of his arrest in New York as a spy, his being taken before Gen. Wool, the overhauling of his baggage, his release, the watchings of the enemy after his release, and his return with the money he had taken with him to pay the bonds of his road.
