E. G. Barney, agent of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad, has sold, conditionally, 20,000 acres of land, belonging to the rail road, and lying in Calhoun county, Ala., to a company consisting of 160 families of Bel gians. This bargain was made a few days since, and the agent of these immigrants will leave for Belgium in a short time, in order to have the trade confirmed, and ac company the colony to their new homes.— This is a move in the right direction.
