From the New Orleans Times Picayune
 
January 12, 1862
 
   We copy from the Selma Sentinel, of the 4th:
   We learn of a contract having been entered into among responsible parties to construct the railroad between Selma and Montgomery, and that a large number of hands will be engaged on it in a few days. Complete arrangements have been made for rails to put the road in running order at once. The work, we learn, is to commence both at Montgomery and on the south side of the river at Selma at the same time.
