A Growing Town.

The editor of the Columbia, (Tenn.) HerSlG makes
the following haltering summary Of the growing
prospects of his town:
A few months more and the Tennessee aud Ala
bAma Railroad will have reached our town; staging
10 that direction will be obsolete, and the iron
horse viii await US at our door, ready to convey
us to the Metropolis Of our State Within year
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad will be COM
pleed, and about the same time the Central SOuth>
ern will be extended to Decatur, thus turning the
stream Of travel that heWs Cincinnati to New Or
leans in this direction, and locating this great
thoroughfare Of travel and transportation. From
an article which We published last week from the
Montgomery Hal, it will be seen too that our
friends in that direction have gone to work in
nest, and promise in few years to extend the road
from DeCstur TO Montgomery, which will complete
almost air line connection between the Ohio and
Gulf of Mexico, with lateral extensions 10 almest
every important point, and enable US to pour our
pfoducs TO the South through any channel that may
be most inviting Situated thas, midway between
the msnnfacfoFies of the Norto, and the cotton fields
Of the South, the first market the one will reach in
pursuit of their raw material if choose TO raise
cotton the nssrest point to that the other csn look
to fer provisions, should we turn our attention to
this branch Of agriculture, Middle Tennessee will
be enabled to develop her resources TO their utmost
and Maury county will take giant stride towards
| her Of wealth. We have nine McAdamised
roads, dVerging from town In every direction,
with which to gather up the produce Of the county
| and bring it TO q common centre. True, some of
these roads are not very long, but they will be ex>
| tended The Hampshire pike will go to Williams
port and Cenirsve, the Canpbelsvile to Giles, the
Santa Fe further in that direction, and with the
whole of them; they will move gradually on, until
lhsy reach point belonging 70 the circle Of some
more 20 ent influence. Anchored BY nine such ada
maniine cables il W,ll take Locomotives than
will ever be the Tenuesste aud Alabama Railroad
| to move Columbia TO Nashville.
We say, lhen, the Railroad prospects" Of Colum
bis are fattering Real estate is already up, and
there is more demand for town property than there
has been for years. We hear Of busy preparation
for improvements 10 be made next spring and We
have NO doubt that more buildings will 20 up in Co.
