Woodward, well known as “Jayhawker,” of the Cincinnati Enquirer, looks after the development of the country through which the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia and Cincinnati and Georgia rail road pass; and ts say that he is its complete a success in this business as he was a news paper correspondent, is but the truth. Be tween Atlanta and Macon, 87 miles, the grad ing is finished, and on the glorious Fburtli the first train will run through. This division of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad will not be opened for business, how ever, until August 1st. The work, between Rome, Georgia, and Atlanta, has beendetain- ed on account of a tunnel, of 900 feet, nean Rockmart, but through trains will runibefore November 1st. The Red Clay and Ooltewah cut-off, makes this line from Chattanooga, via Rome and Atlanta, to Macon, about 14> miles shorter titan by existing roads. and the same distance that it is to Savannah. GEORGIA PACIFIC. Major R. H. Temple, chief engineer of- the Georgia Pacific railroad, has extended the track to to a point 32 miles west of Atlanta. In a few days Villa Rica, 36 miles distant, will have a train. The grading has been- largely completed to Anniston, Ala., on the Selma-, Rome and D-lton division of the East Tennessee and Georgia 'railroad, about 100 miles from Atlanta. This road is the one Atlanta needs more than all others, os it will run through inexhaustible coal fields between Anniston and Birmingham. Cheap grate and steam coal, now that the streets are being paved, is alt that Atlanta needs to make it the chief city of the south in population, it now is in pluck.' THE CHEROKEE is fast looming up as an important factor in. the railroad system. Under the ‘splendid- financial management of Colonel A. G. West, assisted by Major John Post ell, who, aa chief! engineer and manager, has displayed great railroad ability, the business of this railroad has been quadrupled. An engineer corps is now in the field locating a line to Birming ham, Ala., from the present terminus at Cedar town, Ga. The valuable coal lands owned by this road will then be opened and a connection with the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia system, at Rockntart, willi give to Atlanta another coal road The own ers of this road, we understand, intend to extend their line from the eastern terminus Cartersville, Ga.,to Gainesville, Ga., there connect with the Richmond and Danville and Jug Tavern lines. This latter extension would open up heavy deposits of iron ore and manganese in Bartow county. THE -ICG TAVERN. Colinel A. D. Candler, the tireless, working president, has the Jug Tavern Branch of the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern railroad completed to Jug Tavern. Our best informa tion is that this branch will be extended to Monroe, where it meets the Walton County railroad, ten miles long, connecting with the Georgia railroad at Social Circle, 119-miles west of Augusta and 52 miles east of Atlanta. The main line is within eight miles of Jeffer son. No definite action as to extending from Jefferson to Athens has yet been taken. The Athens people, however, seem determined to build from Athens to Jug Tavern, which enterprise, we suppose, will be backed .by the Georgia railroad - com- jany, as the latter company is now building ■its road across the Oconee river into Athens proper. The country through which the above roads run is one of the’ finest agricul tural regions in Georgia. At Jug Tavern there is a fine stone quarry and building ma terial equal to Quincy granite. It is astonish ing that Atlanta has never built a road to Athens via Jug Tavern, and now it requires but little effort and we will have a road to that point, as Jug Tavern is only 42 miles in an air-line from Atlanta. THE OAINEVILLE AND DAIILONEGA is a prime necessity to Georgia. The great and inexhaustible gold fields of north Geor gia can never be worked to advantage until a rail communication is established. The yield of gold bullion now is over one million an nually. The gold mills that have recently been put up have all modem appliances and are making handsome profits. Dahlonega 25 miles from Gainesville, a flourishing city on the Atlanta division of the Richmond and Danville railroad. The wagon road now is a great drawback. Over half a million pounds of machinery is now at the Gaines ville depot awaiting transportation to the gold mines. Colonel W. P. Pnce, the inde fatigable president of the Gainesville and Dahlonega railroad, is the most public-spir ited man in the mountain regions and he is driving the work of building. The building of the bridge across the Chattahoochee river “has delayed work some time. The expecta tion is that 15 miles of track will be laid this summer. This will bring it to the Chestatee river. THE NORTB EASTERN track is at Tallulah Falls, Georgia, 16 miles north of Rabun Junction, on the Richmond and Danville railroad. These falls are to be the southern Chautauqua. The Sunday-schools of A merica will here congregate and the name of Colonel W. J. Houston will be to the asso ciated hosts of children of America what General W.' B. Shattuc’s has become. The salubrity of the climate and grandeur of the falls and scenery will induce thousands of sight-seers annually. Mr. W. N. Foreacre, son of Colonel G. J. Foreacre, is roadmaster, and is walking in the footsteps of his distin guished father. Major H. R. Bernard, the energetic superintendent, is pushing every thing towards completion. The survey of the extension of the Roswell railroad, from Roswell to Cumming, is being made. The present track extends from Chamble post-office, (or Roswell junction) on the Atlanta division of the Richmond and his constant personal supervision. This road lhree-fert gauge, and penetrates a country filled with marble quar ries equal in fineness to Italian. Wild eherry and'black walnut exist in great abundance; and- the demand for these woods in the man ufacture of fine furniture will give the mad a heavy traffiit: George R. Eager, of Boston, is the yresider.4, and lie lias furnished liberally toward- building this greatly needed road. Gold and copper mines, as well as soapstone, are iu great numbers. No road in the south- lias a setter future. It will stop at Murphy, North Carolina,, where-it taps- the Carolina- systeni’ of roads. Al'GBSItA A-NteX-NOX-VITOUi owes its- being completed to Ureenwood, S. C., to President IE T. Verdery, who has now turned bit-eyes towards Elberton, Ga., and the next thing we expect to hear will be that the Savannah Valley railroad 1 charter has been taken up-by him and work' commenced on a branch line from the Augustaand Knox ville railroad: The Augusta) people demand' it and will indorse President Verdery in his efforts. NAYLOR,.HIUUTOWX) A*N»-OK*A1l NOWTHERN , a projected line, with seven- miles graded. It is to run front- Naylor, on the Savannah, Florida.and Western, through Milltown and Nashville, in-Berrien county, Georgia, and northward in the direction of Macon. When completed to Macon thiB will make a cutoff for Florida travel. Horn James Bernks, for merly of Atlanta), is the active director. The Savannah, Florida- and Western railroad, we learn, will iron the road. TUB BUENA. VISTA, sifter getting $40,060 subscriptions Isas stopped efforts to build, owing to some hitch with the Central railroad. Atlanta ought to build to Talbottou. and thence via Bbstick Junction, on the Central railroad, over the 4 proposed Bltena Vista railroad'and thence to Americus Eufaula, as such a line is needed. We have heard some hints that- an Atlanta company is being formed to build this line. We suppose that northern capitalists are the real project ors. THE PENSACOLA AND ATLANTIC altlvthongh running entirely in-west Florida, from Pensacola to Chattahoochee, was the great need of southwest Georgia. No man understood this better titan Colonel W. I). Chipley, who drew the charter’ and by his untiring efforts has pushed 160- miles-of rail road through a wilderness of virgin pine forests, broken at differents points by heavy swamps and wide streams. Track lay tag .was commenced at four different points. Locomo tives and iron were- transported by barges to these points. Work has been, hurried up- and now the prospect is that the traveler, returning from lis winter sojourn in Florida next spring, will hae homeward over the Ftuaacnla and Atlantic. Colonel H. S. Haines, wbo has for years managed the Savannah, Florida and Western, is seeing the dream ofi his life ac complished, as he is rapidly pushing the ex tension of his road from Bainoridge, Georgia, to-Chaittahoochee, Florida, at which latter point be will meet the Pensacola and Atlan tic,. and form part of the great through line from, the Pacific via New Orleans to Savannah, Georgia.
