From Up the Road
   We learn from gentlemen up the road that the people are returning to their old homes.
   The Georgia Railroad track has not been as badly damaged in some sections as at first reported. The road from Stone mountain to Lithonia is in good running order, with the exception of about one mile, which General Slocum's corps destroyed after leaving the main army, in their route for the east side of Yellow river. From Lithonia to Alcova bridge the road is completely destroyed. From the Alcova down to Oconee it is only tapped occasionally, and can be easily repaired.
