Central Mississippi and Vicksburg
   A private letter from Lexington, Miss., dated October 26th, gives us late information as to the situation in Central Mississippi and Vicksburg. ***** the Mississippi Central railroad, which is running from Canton to Oxford, and the New Orleans, Great Northern and Jackson {New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern} railroad, now being operated from Canton as far as Madison station, within ten miles of Jackson, and repairs are rapidly being made to work it to that city. The bridges over Pearl river, at Jackson, are also being built, and an early connection of all the roads centering at the capital of Mississippi is anticipated. *****
