| Augusta & Macon Railroad |
| We learn that the balance of
the Road from Sparta to Macon has been let to Messrs. Orr, Thomson,
Lockett, Collins and other strong contractors. The work from Sparta to
Milledgeville will be put immediately under way, with a prospect of
its completion in less than twelve months. The grading is almost
finished from Warrenton to Sparta, the track laid for three miles; and
the whole will probably be done to Sparta early next Summer. This is
good news for the friends of the Road, and will show that our Yankee
neighbors on the coast have little effect on operations in the
interior. |

is the same as that of the Milledgeville RR.} |
