Corn! Corn!! Corn!!!
   Maj. John S. Rowland, the efficient Superintendent of the State Road {Western & Atlantic RR} publishes a card, which will be found in another column, giving notice that he will start an engine with twenty cars from this point on the 16th inst. to transport corn from Macon and the different stations on the South Western Railroad, in order that the wants of the families of soldiers and the destitute in our mountain country may be relieved from the sufferings that now exist in that section of Georgia, and the threatened famine there. The corn thus transported will be deliver free of transportation charges to the suffering families and the destitute at the various stations between Atlanta and Tennessee on the line of the State Road.
