Canton, Miss., May 29
   The locomotive whistle now falls familiarly on the ears of Cantonians, as the {Mississippi} Central railroad is now "navigable" to Oxford. The repairs on the N. O., J. & G. N. {New Orleans, Jackson & Great Northern} railroad, between this place and Jackson, will be finished within the nest week. Col. Sam Tate has been superintending the reconstruction of these roads, and he is a thorough-going and successful railroad man, as you are aware.
