A oorrjr. A correspondent writes to the Teleoraisi as follows; 1 ftehsd up a circular on th# deck ot the ticket It will be remembered that the Trle- grafh never bad any confidence in the building of a road from Macon to Covington. Much as desired to see Covington connected- directly with Macon, it was plain that there waa no inducement to capitalists to put money in such an enterprise. The idea that any line looking to connection with the Richmond and Danville system would be built from Maoon by way of Covington was preposterous, for tho reason that a cheaper and shorter route waa offered to Athens, to which point the Rich mond and Danville already has a connec tion over the Northeastern road; which it controls, A good deal of drivel was indulged at the time the people of Macon were first asked for subscriptions to the Macon and Coving ton, tonohing the intentions of Full River mill owners of building a road from Macon to- Covington for the pur pose of- developing the wator power upon its line, so that they could move their machinery from Fall River to said power. There may have been a few people who were silly enough to have believed this stuff. The Telegram was not to be deceived by such preposterous representations, and at once determined tbat it would be unsafe to commend to its readers an undeataking based upon such foolish representations. We then believed, and so stated, that this road would be built to Athens, if built at all. And, furthermore, that it would never be built unless the Richmond aud Danville took hold of it. Some of our friends here and elsowhere mistook our refusal to indorse the reputed plan, of Fall River mill owners to get cheap water power by building a line of road which would not develop pow er to any extent, as opposition tho Macon and Covington. We were never opposed to the road. On the con trary we desired to see it built. We had no confidence in the representations to which we have alluded, and henee we declined to advise onr reader* to put money into the sebemo while it rosted upon this bssis. We believe now that the road will bo built. We can see why the Richmond aud Danville desires to get into Macon. It is quite probable, we think, that tho line will be continued to Florida by the route proposed by tie late Colonel Lane. In ail this Muoon is to he benefited. Now we shall expeet some definite action from the Richmond and Danville Company look ing to completion of the lino from hero to Athens. The people of Macon will hail with joy the completion of this work. Why should they not? At present we are compelled to go to Atlunta- or Savannah before we can start to New York, unless we consent to spend a day traveling ouo hundred and twenty-five mile* from here to Auguita. The authoritw* of the Georgia and the Central railroad* confe** that they ue unable to give ns prompt passenger service to the East via Auguita. More than this, much of our New York mail cornea to ua by way of Jssnp. It goes down the coast lino to within a few mile* of Florid* and comes back to Macon, reaching here from two to live honra in advance of mail from same point* coming by way of Augusta, Sa vannah or Atlanta over the Central system. Th* Air Liue, when it reaches Maoun over its own road from Athena to this point, will doubtless be able to do bettor by ns, and the completion of the road from Macon to Athens will be worth * great deal more to thia city than the total subscriptions of onr people to the Macon and Covington toad. By all means let every man in Macon assist to hi* uttermost ability in forward ing the work npon this road. We are suffering greatly from the tardy passenger and mail service of the present and the only hope of relief is from the Richmond and Danville. negroes and white Republican, n-iJ the State and to defeat the wifi o£ ^ 1 * those who have shared in n, fpi .
