THE track-laying force on the Mobile
and New Orleans road were about eight
miles west of HandsbOro on the Both ult.
THE Mobile Register of a late date says
that Mr.. w. s. Williams, treasurer of the
Mobile and New Orleans railroad, is in
that city for a few days. He reports the
work all along the line as progressing
most favorably, and that it will certainly
be completed and the road open early in
September. The route west of New Or
leans is being rapidly pushed forward,
and it is confidently expected that within
sixteen months it will be finished through
to Houston, Texas, and we win be in di-
rect rail Communication with the heart of
that vast State. Then for cheap beef
fresh, fat and fine, from the prairies.
THE Columbus Miss Inder OF Friday
saws: 1--WE regret TO learn of the tenn
porary suspension of work at this end of
the road by General Forrest, although no
fault attaches to that indomitable man.
We understand that he is forced to the
course chiefly by the depression in the
sale of his bonds brought about by the
European war, and partially by the in
junction case o under consideration
with Chancellor Lyon. AS to the bond
| question, there is the utmost confidence
ia General Forrest as a gentleman and a
railroad builder, and only such an event
as a war in Europe could prevent the easy
/! sale of his paper to the extent of mill
lions. But the whole world is affected by
the conflict, and we may not expect to es-
cape in this cherished object. In regard
TO the Injunction, we trust the opposition
of a part of the county to the collection
Of the railroad tax will form not
more than a straw's obstruction. If there
il anything in Justice, Law and
testimony, il seems to us the majority
may nOB0 lOA a bobbtn6 aoANC VI. bub III
junction, and that much obstruction to a
public benefit forever put at rest. Gene
| raj Forrest, for the present, will prosecute
work at the Selma end of the road. When
he began here he expected TO reach Pick
ensvifle by the beginning of fall at the
farthest. As it Is, the grading has been
| completed q distance of ten or twelve
miles, three or four of which is completed
for trains. AS heretofore, we wish him
God speed in his great enterprise, rejoicing
that Aiabama's liberality can hold up
his arm to the extent of SIG, 600 per mile
in its prosecution"
IT Is also stated that the election In this
county by which the people determine
WHISTLER they will invest $500, 900 In the
Selma road, win be postponed for a brief
period. Such have been the character of
| General Forests engagements that he
has been unable 20 give that attention TO
\ the interests Of his road in this city and
county required at his hands, therefore
the County Court will be asked to post
pone the election. There is hardly any
necessity for such action. So far as we
\ are advised there IL little or no opposition
TO the proposition TO insure this sum in
the Selma road. The necessity for its
construction Is imperative, and each tax
mayer being made q stakeholder, and, at
She same time, realizing an augmentation
! of property values, Is willing to make the
investment which makes this the. richest
city and county In the central HaiIey Of
the Mississippi.
