Under the head, “Nero Fiddles while Rome is Burning,” a writer in the Rome Sonthemer sounds this note of alarm: I would again call attention to the fact that we are in danger of being outflanked from another quarter. Arrangements have been completed for the building of a railroad from Opelika to Gnnteisville, by the way of Jackson ville and Gadsden. This will flank Atlanta, the State road and Rome, and, by intersecting the Wills Valley road, will, from Chattanooga, throw most of the freights and travel off the State road. All the business that will go from the West to Macon, Savannah, Columbus and all of Southwest Georgia, will seek this line, and the State road, the Georgia road and the Macon and Western road, will be the sufferers, and, of course, Atlanta will be deeply injured. Wo have it in onr power to greatly neutralize this, if we bnt act with promptness and dispatch.
