A GREAT WORK FAIRLY BEGIN.

Last week, consi cradle intere st was excited
in our town in relation TO the bidding for the
Graduation and Masonry of the Extension of the
Louisa Railroad from Waynestorou.h 10 Staun-
ton. A great number OF bids We're rut ill., and
he Board OF Directors, after due comparison OF
he estimates, decided as follows
Richardson & Co. for Nos. H. 3 and 4.
kIuloan and Martin ior 5. e., II and 2.
Wright aud Parish for 7, s and 10.
Peter Cfiekardfor No.i9.
! G.. 3. Manly for No. Is.
The building of the bridge was given TO Rich
ard and Cornelius Collins, two OF the best work
men in this country.
The reader will understand that the work
commences at Waynesboroueh at the 18th mile,
and terminates in Stanton at The LIST mile, so
The section each contractor has is easily noted
The s,lsction of the route has not vet been de-
termined upon, but we learn that Mir RuGGLEs,
The Engineer, has mace an alteration in the en-
Ciure route " hich " i'll save in the cost of con-
struclion, several thousand dollars We have
also understood that it is i'll contemplation TO get
upa petition to The People Of Augusta asking
by taxation on the landed properly I he OBJ
lect is 10 procure the heavy iron railing, instead
OF the H.. ht article ROW in use hps laid, the
road will last for years, aud it is no doubt, good
economy TO do the work Wi h the best material.
If This sum be rails, d, it is thought the work i'll
be expedited, and the people will be sooner rul

by this rapid conveyance to market The Tunnel,
we learn, will be begun iii a few days.
