THE GEORGIA WESTERN.
General Gordon at the Head of a
Company for its construction
Work to be Begun at once.


New YORK, February 16.-Twenty
years ago John B. Gordon, the young
Captain of company of mountaineers,
came from Alabama on his way to Vir
ginia. In four years he had fought his
way to the right hand of General Lee,
and was Lieutenant General of the best
army that ever marched to battle
Fifteen years ago General John b.
Gordon, poor, wounded, and with the
smoke Of battle hardly cleared from his
face, consented to lead the forlorn hope
of his people as candidate for Governor.
In four years he was a leader in the
Senate of the United States, and was the
first man in the South by general ac-
acknowledgement.
About one year ago he retired from
political life, as he had fifteen years be-
fore laid aside his sword.
now record the prediction that he
will become as distinguished in his new
line of action, that of a practical devol-
opment of the country. as he ever was in
war or politics; and / predict further
that he is as near distinction in this field
as he was to military fame when he
charged at the Wilderness, or 10 political
fame when he beat the field for the
Senate.
am permitted to wire you briefly the
following, which has been known to me
for months: Eight months ago he or
ganized company to build railroad
eastward from Aberdeen or Columbus
towards Birmingham or Blount Springs.
The scheme embraced road to the Mis-
sissippi river westward, and to Atlanta
eastward. This road is now being built
from Columbus eastward. The Georgia
Western was an essential part of this
scheme, and on December 2Sth General
Gordon purchased the charter from the
Louisville company. His company is
strong one, and embraces such men as
Mr.. Jewett. President of the Erie Rail-
way; Senator Randolph, and other strong
railroad and coal men.
Arrangements are now being made to
begin work at Atlanta on the Georgia
Western, which will be done in very
short time. There is no flicker on our
word this time, and work will certainly
be begun promptly, and under the most
powerful backing
General Gordon does not want TO in
terfere with any other company prepar-
ing to build to cheap coal, and will ask
for nothing from Atlanta or Georgia un-
til he has started the work. General
Gordon will return to Georgia in few
days and arrange to begin work.
