Augusta, Loalsvllle aid Calf B. R. We design in tbs present article to present s table of di-.tance«, faking Cincinnatti and Albany M the object ive points. Of coarse wedo not pre tend to strict sec a racy in tbe figures we give. We rely upon the table of distances given by Cola. Qaw and Hulbert to tbe Cincinnati! Common Coonci!, aud to figures given by Col. Hulbert in his recent speech on board the steamer made daring tho lata press excursion, and in estimating tbe distance from this piaoe to Albany we rely entirely upon our own knowledge ol the uiai.. wagon road from this to the latter place. We have travelled over the entire line to Albany more than twenty times, aud believe that a railroad can lie located which will reach the latter place within the estimate we have made. At any rate, an aetnsl newsy will act materially nbsnge war fig ure*. ' — We are aware of the iaot that the disclosures which these reliable fig ures make will be received by those who are not very familiar with the ge ography ol tho country and the length of our leading lines of railway wttb some degree of astonishment it not of actual doubt. It has bean so long assumed that Augusta waa oat of tbe direct and nearest line from the great cities of the West to southern and southwestern Georgia and Urn Atlantic coast, that our people Lave reluctantly come to the conclnakmthat no efforts which wo can make wilt enable ns to overcome the disadvantages which na ture aud our defective railway system hare thrown across our path. In our article on this subject yester day we said: “We think we can show that Augusta mart become tbe great distributing point for the enor mous bacon, grain aud flour trade of the West.” To that task we now ap ply ourselves by showing that, upon the completion of the Knoxvilb & Rabun Gap Road and ita intersection, by the extension of tbe Georgia Rail road from Athens to Clayto^ that Au gusta becomes nearer, by rail, to aB portions of southern and southwest ern Georgia which now draw tbeir supplies from Atlanta, Macon and Savannah. It must be borne in mind that the roads from Cincinnati! to Knoxville, and from the latter place to Clayton, in this State, are in a promising state BUSINESS CARDS.
