| We are pleased to learn, as we do from the
Columbus Sun, that arrangements have been perfected by the post office
department to have the mails carried east. They will be forwarded to
Albany, then across the country to Thomasville, thence, via Atlantic
& Gulf Railroad to Savannah, Augusta and beyond. This will make
the time between Montgomery and Richmond but little longer than that
formerly employed, when mails were carried on the Central road. Albany
is in southwestern Georgia, and the terminus of a railroad leading
from Macon -- the Southwestern. The distance thence to Thomasville is
about sixty miles. This arrangement is now in operation. |
