TOJRAILROAD CONTRACTORS.‘
SEALED proposals will be received at
the office of the Selma and Tennessee River Hail-'
road Company, in the town of Selma, Alabama, for
the graduation of the first forty miles of the Selma.
and '1‘ennessee Railroad. Proposals for the first six
miles from Selma, will be received after the first of
May, and acted on by the Board -on the 15th May.’
Proposals for the ensuing 34' miles, will be received
after the 10th May, but will not be examined until
the 1st of August next, when the work _will be ready
for contract. _ .. . ' .
The line, after the first few miles, pursuing the flat
of the Mulberry Creek, occupies a region of country,
having the repute of being highly healthftll. It is
free from ponds and swanlps, and is well ‘watered.-
The soil is generally in cultivation, and 18 dry, light
and sandy, and uncommonly easy of excavation.--'
The entire length of_the line of the Sel ‘iii and Ten-
nesscc Railroads, ‘will be about 170 miles, passing gent.
erally through a region as favorable for health as any
in "the Southern Country
Owing to the great interest at stake in the success
of this enterprise, and the amount of capital already
embarked in it, this work must necessarily proceed
with vigor, and I invite. the attention of men of indus-
try and enterprise, both at the North and elsewhere
to this undertaking, as offering in the prospect of
continued employment, and the character of the soil
and climate, a wide and desirable field to the con‘-
tractor. _

ber, or to General Gilbert Shearer, President of the
