"We found both the Georgia Rail
road and the State Road in excellent

the Georgia Road since Col. Cole has
had the management of it, are such as
to astonish those who are not familiar
with this gentltman's character as a
railway manager. When he took con-

in a few short months, brought order
out of chaos, and we now have one of
the most delightful roads in the whole

administration of Col. Wallace, is in as
good, or perhaps better condition, than
It ever vas before the war. This gen.
has not only shown that he pos
railroad skill and ability of the
first order, but he has, like Col. Cole,
shown that to be true which we have
thought ought to be--that it is
