The pretended Union Branch Road Com
puny of Georgia, composed Of Mr.. Bishol
and other grea, men of that State. and else
,ehere. have presented 10 Judge LUMPKIN
Of the Cherokee Circuit, q bill against tn
East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad Com
pany, praying for an Injunction prohibi.in!
the further prosecution Of our road on thu
present location in Georgia. The bill. which
is suorn TO. alleges, us we are Informed
that the Union Branch Rond Company arr
in possession of q part Of the line, and tina
both Companies have gangs Of hands q
work, and that there is danger Of an imme'
date collision of the laLorers Of the two
Companies. Judge Lumpkin has granted
rule requiring our Company 10 show Cause
why the Injunction should no. be granted
and has named the 5lh day Of December fo'
the arguing of the rule before hin, at Rome
and has con manded botL Companies. in the

in dispute.
This interference is exceedingly annoy
ing. and is injurious 10 the interests Of our
Company and our State. But we will no,
ye, charge that the State Of Georgia has
falsified her pledge to US. We think our
Company can show abundont ond conclu.
Give reasons why they should not be enjon'
cd from completing and using their road.
now nearly finished, in Georgia, or be in my
wise moes,ed lf,however,righ' and justice
shall be disregarded. and Georgia. through
her Judiciary, shall, at the solicitation of
a set of adventures and SPECTATORS, rob US
Of our rights and our property. we will be
red to show, from the oo"k, that her
solennly plighted faith is ,oorlhles'; and,
also, that the State Of Tennessee can only
maintain her honor and her rights by with
drawing her reciprocal pledge. and stopping
the cars Of The State Of Georgia at the State
line. There is no threat in this. 1t is cleur
and plain, and a kind Of retaliation tina,
will lie right and proper.
