From the Macon GAL Telegraph, Jan 81
Yesterday the Hon. Carton II. Cole, Judge OF the
Superior Court Of the Macon Circuit at the suit Of
certain stockholders OF the Southwestern Railroad,
through their attorneys, the Messrs Nisbets Jack
son and Messrs Whittlc 4 Gustin, granted bin Of
Injunction against the Southwestern Railroad Com
pany and the Central Railroad and Banking Com

recently transferred to them either OF them by the
city OF Savannah, and restraining said companies
from all attempts to control through said stock the
operations OF the Atlantic ana Gulf Railroad, and
the commercial and business interests OF Central,
southern and Western Georgia, TO be afFected and
controlled by the use OF said stocks In the hands OF
the said companies.
This Injunction, Of course, WIN be fought in the
court below, on . motion TO dissolve. and then, 90

respect TO its scope and general consequence tho

A Breach Of Promise Case.

A very interesting breach-of-
promise case has been before the
Circuit Court of Marion county, by
change of venue from Franklin,
during the past week, in which
Miss Letha Coover, of Winchester,
Is plaintiff, and Capt. D. E. Daven-
port, Receiver of the Winchester
& Alabama Railroad, is defendant.
Damages claimed, $4,000. Early
in 1864, it seems, Capt. Daven-
port, who was then Federal off,
Ger, made a proposal of marriage
to Miss Coover, but received no def
mite answer; in May the offer
was repeated, with a like result ;
and in July, he again offered, was
accepted, and "the happiest man
in Tennessee" as his love letters
said, they being read in court, and
said to be very gushing. Soon af-
ter his acceptance, however, Mrs.
Davenport-the Original Jacobs
the lawful wife from the North
came to Winchester. The Cap
tain tried to explain to Miss Coo
yer, and promised to "fix it all up
right" and as this could not be
done, damage suit followed.
A verdict was rendered for the
defendant, because, it is said, Miss
Coover knew her sutton to be q
man at the time the en-
was entered into.
