   A correspondent desires to be informed when the public may reasonably expect the pleasure of traveling on the Georgia Railroad to Augusta." We answer through our columns, so that others, equally interested, may also be informed.
   At last accounts, the relaying of the iron was progressing rapidly, under the energetic management of the Engineers, and the increased force placed at the disposal of the road by the completion of the Atlantic & West Point road; with the probability that the track would be ready before the bridge over the Yellow river could be completed. In the Intelligencer of the 28th, we find the following notice. Col. Grant is one of the most reliable railroad engineers in the South, and seldom miscalculates. We think the public may confidently expect the connection between Atlanta and Augusta to be completed by the 1st of May -- the gap being lessened every day.

   We have just been informed by Col. L. P. Grant, the efficient and active Superintendent of repairs on the Georgia railroad, that if the weather shall continue favorably, he thinks the cars on that road will reach our city by the 20th of April.
