From the Vicksburg Whig
 
February 19, 1863
   
   The Pearl River {at Jackson, Miss.} is reported to be higher than it has ever known before. The Trestle work on the Southern {(of Mississippi)} Rail road Bridge was moved from its foundation by the late freshet, and for a time fears were entertained that it would float off. Steps were, however, immediately taken to make it secure and we believe there is now no further danger.
