4 THERE is All immense amount OF freight
now passing this place, both going North
i with merchandise, went over the lines last
night, bound South, and nearly 400 bales
Of cotton were sent North yesterday and
last night. The majority OF this cotton
comes from Georgia, South Carolina and
lie western part 81 this State.
THE amount OF freight now passing over
our lines of railroad, North and South. is
tIuly astonishing. Its increase during the
4 last year is without parallel. esterday
'hirty-eight car loads of cotton passed
North the day before the same amount,
and yesterday Superintendent Anderson
VAS telegraphed to send one hundred cars
70 Augusta for cotton accumulated at that
point.
The rolling stock and engines Of these
rJads have been greatly Increased, and
orders have been given to add very largely
~ both. These evidences Of prosperity are
very cheering.
