| We are pleased to notice that
the work on putting "our" Railroad through to Texas, has
commenced in earnest. The timber is being hauled along the route, and
will, no doubt, soon be in a condition to receive the iron. The track,
we are informed, is laid three miles this side of Greenwood. On last
Thursday, the steamer T. S. Connolley arrived here from above, with
the locomotive {almost certainly, the Ben
Johnson, which had been leased to the Southern Pacific RR in 1862}. |
