From Mississippi.
Meridian, March 4.
--The work of repairing the railroads destroyed by the enemy is progressing rapidly.
Three miles of track and three bridges were destroyed on the Southern road, ten miles of track on the Selma road, and thirty-five miles of track on the Mobile and Ohio road.
Sherman burned a great deal of property here, and at Marion, Enterprise, Lockhart, and Lauderdale Stations.
All the public buildings at this place were destroyed, and a number of private houses.
The Barton House, Ragsdale House, and railroad depots were burned, as also the office of the Daily Clarion. The enemy pillaged every house, carrying off everything of any value.
Provisions were taken from almost every family.
Sherman laid waste all the country through which his army passed on his return to Vicksburg.
He occupied the Ragsdale House for his headquarters while here, and McPherson occupied Gen. Polk's old headquarters.
Demopolis, March 4.--A dispatch from Gen. Jackson, dated Sharon, seven miles from Canton, Feb. 23, says he overtook the enemy at that point on the 27th, and was skirmishing.
The enemy crossed his whole force at Ratcliff's and Callum's ferries, and proceeded to Canton, where they were reported on short rations and broken down.--It was thought they would destroy a portion of the railroad north of Canton, and go at once to Vicksburg.
About twenty-five had been killed, and a number captured.
Our cavalry are harassing them.
