The engineer corps began the survey of this
road on Friday morning. They were about six
nnd a half miles from Columbus last, night. The
camp will he moved on Monday to a point about
twelve miles from Columbus.
The first line will be run from Columbus to
Albany, and we learn will probably go near the
following places; ns near as practicable with the
s^vey: Cottage Mill, Jamestown, Richland,
Dawson and Albany. After this survey is com
pleted the route from Columbus to the Florida
line in the direction of Tallahassee will he run.
The corps is splendidly equipped and under the
field direction of Engineer J. L. Cowan. Within
one week after the first meeting of business men
to discuss this enterprise the work of surveying
the route W’as begun. There was no noise or
28,619 flourishing of trumpits about this enterprise.
Our business men took hold of it in a quiet way
and in the same manner they propose to push if
to a successful completion.
Gcorgin Midland Notes.
The trains crossed the iron bridge over Bull
Creek yesterduy. This bridge is a splendid and
graceful structure, built by the Phoenix Bridge
Company, nnd is sixty-five feet above the water.
Willis’Creek trestle is nearly finished. Train 8
will pass over it by the middle of this week, after
which track laying will not he interfered with by
streams for a long distance. The contractors will
put down about one mile of track per day.
The telephone line is being extended to Cold
Spring, which is the headquarters for Captain
James nnd the Chattahoochee Brick Company.
The work on Flint river niers is being rapidly
pushed and there is no apprehension now of
stoppage from high water if it should come.
The telephone line will be soon extended to
the Flint river camp, making it about fifty-three
miles long.
A lot of fiat cars for the Midland arrived yes
terday. During the week the road has received
about twenty-five cars of steel rails.
The ships which are loaded with rails for this
road seem to always get in port and generally on
time. Some of the new roads in Georgia have
had fun with delayed ships, we learn.
It is confidently expected this road will be en
tirely graded and most of the rails down for the
entire distance between Columbus and Griffin by
February 1 next. The remaining eighteen miles
to McDonough will he completed very soon
thereafter.
The track is being put in splendid condition
and fast time can he made on such a road.
The passenger equipment has been largely con
tracted for. The conches will he the very hand
somest Jackson & Sharp can build. That is de
scription enough to describe the cars as luxu
rious, handsome and of best quality.
Several new settlers are preparing to move up
on the line of the Midland. Among these are
Hirsch Bros., of Seale. This progressive, wealthy
pointed a committee to visit Columbus and see
what could be done.
“Should this road passthrough Stewart county
our citizens will cheerfully grant the right of way
and all the material aid in their power.”
A Macon special to the New York Times says :
“The Macon and Athens Railroad Company be
gan work yesterday on their proposed extension
to Florida, starting in ten miles below Perry, Ga.,
with fifteen laborers. Legal steps have been
taken to-day by the Macon and Florida Air Line
Company to stop them, as they claim to control
both the Lane and Thorp charters, the only two
granted by the legislature from Macon to Florida.
The locating engineers of the latter railroad are
now in Dooley county, and the road is being
pushed forward rapidly. It will open a new and
much more desirable route to Florida when com
pleted. Connections are to be made with various
railroads at Gainesville, Fla. Jefferson Lane, the
principal contractor, is now in New York at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel.”

The Cuthbert Liberal, In speaking of the Co
lumbus and Florida, says:
“ We have known from the commencement of
the Georgia Midland that a connection south of
Columbus must lie made. The Chattahoochee
river is too uncertain to he depended upon. There
is no doubt that the route by Cuthbert nnd Bain-
bridgo to Tallahassee is the most practicable for
the road. And it is equally certain that by Cuth
bert is the most practicable route to Albany.
From Tallahassee to St. Marks, on the gulf, a
road is already built which will
bo donated to the new road
when it is completed. Prior to the war,
all the goods for Middle Florida were shipped
into St. Marks, and all the cotton and tobacco
grown there went to northern markets through
this port. The road built to Tallahassee would
give a direct outlet to the gulf, through a port
with amide depth of water to admit vessels of
sufficient si>.e to carry out and in ail freight
handled by the road. It would give to Colum
bus a move direct line to the West Indies and
South and Central American ports than any
other inland city of the south. In addition to
tins, the road could connect at Bainbridge with
the Savannah, Florida and Western and
at Tallahassee wit li the Florida Rail
way and Navigation Company to Fcrnan-
dnm, giving it the advantage of two direct routes
to Atlantic ports. At Bainbridge it would meet
the bouts that ply the Flint and Apalachicola
rivers to Apalachicola, giving another gulf outlet
in tlmt direction. At the mduth of the Flint
river it will find the Pensacola and Atlantic, a
hianch of the great Louisville and Nashville
route, leading direct to Pensacola, Mobile and
New Orleans. If a branch he built to Albany it 1
will connect with the Brunswick and Western \
there, direct to Brunswick, giving it the advan- !
taRes of a third Atlantic port. When we remem- |

Another Gin House Burned.
The steam ginnery of Messrs O. C. & Will Tor-

Friday evening, together with about four bales

A Money Thief Captured.
Yesterday Bailiff Abney had a lively chase al
ter an Alabama thief. Friday night John Drake,
celored, stole $19 from Tony Wright, a negro liv
ing on Mr. George Young’s plantation in Russell
county. He came to this city, but was followed
and pointed out to the bailiff yesterday morning
at Springer’s corner. When the officer went to
arrest him he took to liis heels, and a lively
chase ensued. Four negroes aided Bailiff Abtiey
and they finally overhauled Drake in the park.
He was brought back and turned over to the
Alabama authorities.
A Splendid Likeness.
“Tho* lost to sight, to memory dear.” How
suggestive and affectionate this beautiful senti
ment applies when beholding a true likeness of
a grand man who once walked our streets, hut
who has passed over the river. I11 Mr. Riddle’s
Bliow case there is a portrait of the lamented
Martin J. Crawford, to behold which seems, as it
were, to almost bring back the original, so
striking and life-life is the picture. Photography,
certainly, i« a wonderful art, and Mr. Riddle evi
dently understands it to perfection.
ill accrue to Cuthbert, if the road be built this
way, we can see how important
it is that our people use more
than ordinary diligence and exertion to secure
it. The men who are building the Georgia Mid
land are no adventurers. They are practical
business men, and they mean business. They
must and will have a southern connection for
their road. A glance at the names of the mem
bers of tiie executive committee, who have
charge of the preliminary work, will convince
any man that there is something more than gas
behind the movement. But we must
not suppose that the road will
certainly be built by Cuthbert. Nor
should our people feel discouraged because two
efforts to build the road have proven failures.
The greatest enterprises that have blessed tlie
world have been built upon the ruins of stupend
ous and frequent failures. The road must be
built and Cuthbert must have it. But it will not
come os a matter of course. We must work for
it. Our future depends upon it. With it our
Advancement in the next decade would surpass
the hopes and expectations of the most sanguine.
Without it, we are done. Who will move in the
matter?”
Another Comment.
The Lumpkin Independent has the following to
sny of the Columbus and Florida: “The prospect
for building a railroad from Columbus to Florida
is again being agitated, and is attracting more
than usual attention. Several prominent citi
zens of Columbus have procured a charter and
subscribed $5000 for having the surveys made.
An engineer corps has been secured, and was to
have left Columbus one day this week.
Two lines will be surveyed; one running
from Columbus to Albany, and the
other to the Georgia line in the direction of Tul-
.lalmssce. In speaking of the importance of this
now road to Columbus, Mr. G. Gunby Jordau
says: “The Buena Vista railroad is hurting us.
The Americus, Preston and Lumpkin has almost
actually come to our warehouse doors and takes
our cotton away from us. The Pensacola and At.
lantic took a part of our trade. Yes, we are being
damaged and must get our rightful trade back.”
“The citizens of Cuthbert and Bainbridge are
becoming Interested in the matter and will en
deavor to secure the southern connection. Cuth •
bert held a meeting several days ago and ap-
Gents’ and Ladies’
hemmed-sticlied Handkercli iefs will be slaugh
