RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE,

THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAIL'
ROAD.--It is stated that $2,000,000 have been spent
by Robert B. Potter, receiver of this railroad, during
the past 16 months in placing its track, road bed,
and rolling stock in the most perfect condition.
Important improvements and renewals have been,
during the period named, continually in progress.
Two hundred miles of new rails, weighing 651bs. to
the yard, of the best quality and most improved
pattern, laid with the celebrated fish-plate joint'
have taken the place of old ones, rendering the
track like one continuous rail, and preventing the
jarring and noise so exhausting and disagreeable to
passengers. Five hundred thousand new oak cross
ties have been laid ; new bridges, durable and sub-
stantial, have been built ; trestle works have bee°
replaced by solid earth and stone embankments, and
new day cars and sleeping coaches have been placed
upon the line. The formal transfer of this railway
to the control of tb Erie R may Company was
ma le on December 12th, at Meadville, Penn Il-
vania, The road is to be known as the Atlantic
and Great Western Division of the Erie Railway.
Messrs. Gould and Riddle represented the Erie 10
taking possession. Messrs. L. D. Rucker is retained
as superintendent of this division. No other ap'
pointments or changes have yet been announced.
The Erie officials started for Cincinnati to-day.
SOUTHERN RAILWAYSTOCK. —Chief Justice Chase,
at the present term of the United States Circuit
Court, sitting at Richmond, it is reported, has de•
livered an important decision, establishing the right
of stockholders in the loyal States to dividends de'
dared during the war upon stock held by them i 0
Southern railways, notwithstanding the confisea'
tion of such stock and its dividends by the Code'
derate Government. The opinion enters at length
into the question what is meant by the term de facto
government, and lays down the rule that Confede'
rate notes received in the rebel States by the repre-
sentatives of persons in the loyal States must be
accounted for in lawful money, equal in value to
the Confederate notes at the time of their receipt:
The Illinois Central Railroad Company la
pay a net dividend of 5 per cent. to those entitled
thereto on the Ist of February.
The " Selma, Rome, and Dawton Railroad," el'
tending nearly 200 miles from Selma, Alabama'
to Rome, Georgia, was opened on the 31st 01
October. It is a combination of several unfinished
roads projected and begun before the late war, but
which were nearly destroyed during that period'
It forms the shortest line of road connecting the
larger cities of the Atlantic with those of the Gall
of Mexico. 'I be old portions have been thoroughly
rebuilt, and the new line has been constructed 1°
the most substantial manner.

The Great Indian Peninsular Railway Compani
paid £1,070,136 into the Bank, to the credit of the
Secretary of State for India on account of the
£2,000,000 stock just issued upon tender.
The joint traffic return of the Cale'lonian and
North British Itiilway Companies shows an irY
