The stockholders of ihe Macon & Augusta Railroad Company assembled ;tt the City Ilatl yesterday at 12 M., pursuant to the charter and Bye Laws Stephen D. Heard, Esq., arose and stated that the President of the Com pany, Benjamin Conley, Esq , was not in the city, but that he thought the Convention should proceed to business and liierefore moved that the Hon.
