| From Mobile |
| A dispatch of the 11th, from Palmetto,
Ala., to the Mobile Advertiser and Register, says: |
| The last rail was laid on the Mobile &
Great Northern Railroad, at 9 o'clock this morning. |
| To which the Advertiser adds: |
| We presume that cars will at once run to
the junction with the Montgomery and Pensacola Railroad
{Alabama & Florida (of Alabama and of Florida) RR,
thus making the trip hence to either of those cities very quick and
pleasant. |
| A New Boat |
| The Advertiser and Register says: |
| A new boat was brought down to the city on
Saturday, from Jordan's Mills, in Clarke county, where she was launched
a few weeks ago. She is short, with great breadth of beam, and of light
draft, say two feet and a half or less when completed, and of a model
indicating remarkable speed. We understand that she was originally
intended for a Galveston towboat, a destination which is necessarily
abandoned, and that she will be employed between the city and the
terminus of the Mobile & Great Northern Railroad. |
