| The Atlanta Intelligencer, of
the 15th, says: Our citizens had the pleasure on Monday, the 18th
inst., of seeing the first train of cars reach the place where the Car
Shed once was. The occasion was an interesting and inspiring one. The
train was drawn by the Engine Pacific, (may not this be a
foreshadowing of good to our battle-scarred city?) guided by Engineer
John B. Walden, under the Conductorship of Mr. Fuller, of the
Montgomery & West Point Road. |
| Too much praise cannot be paid
Major Hottel, Col. Rosser, Major Crane, Dr. McKittrick and others, for
the energy and perseverance displayed in seeing this important work to
its completion. |
| We hope soon to be able to
announce the arrival of trains from Macon and Augusta, on the Macon
& Western and Georgia railroads. |
