Itz,- It will be seen by reference to another col
umn in to-days issue, that the mission of our rail
road Delegates was crowned with entire success
The conditions upon which our Branch becomes
apart of the Main road, are just and easy in them
selves-and will no doubt be complied with on our
part, with promptitude and cheerfulness. The
company hate not, from one end Of this great
road, to the other, experienced any difficulty on
the subject of the Right of way. The enlighten-
ed country over which it passes, and which it must
enrich and prosper, has every where, with a lib
erality at once creditable and judicious, removed
all obstacles from before the company this score.
Lownds will do likewise.
We congratulate our readers and the country
upon the certain prospect Of speedy completion
OF both the Branch and Main road. The work is
going on bravely. All honor to the men who pro-
jected and who have by their influence and their
money, pushed forward this magnificent enter
prize.

To Newspaper Publishers.

To the printers in the counties aroundwe would say
that they can be supplied with news, and wrapping
paper OF all sizes and qualities at Mobile prices APP
pication to this Office. We will keep on hand du-
ring the year large supply of paper, and if the press
at Macon, Starkvie, Houston, and Aberdeen, will in
form us how many reams they will require till Feb
1854, and the size needed, will order it manuact-
ured at once, and keep it for sale at Columbus.
1t is not always convenient for printers to purchase
years supply during the boating season, and if they
are they lie of the of the money. If they
get it in small lots at wholesale pricesit is better
should think. If the printers think So and will give
the necessary Instructions, we will supply them as
cheap as they can get it at Mobile.
