Consolidation Of the Hills6orough and
Marietta Railroads.-After long and
protracted session, the directors of the
Marietta and Hillsborough Railroads,
yesterday, agreed upou plan of con-
solidation, by which an union of the
two interests is effected. The details of
the arrangement have not yet been made
public, but will be published in few
days. One fact, however, we have,
which is important. The Marietta
Company have abandoned their present
line and agreed upon the Hillsborough
route to Jackson, thus placing us in con-
nection with the coal fields of that coun-
ty.
This abandonment of their boasted
coal road, is the best commentary that
could possibly be made on their former
professions. We have stated, time af-
ter time, that the Hillsborough road
was the only coal road, and this fact
sustains our position triumphantly.-
We hope our cotemporaries, who vio-
lently opposed the Hillsborough road,
will now, that their Marietta allies have
abandoned them, come gracefully into
line and acknowledge the-coal.
