Th America Union.
Ia addition to the decision of Judj.-e
McKoy, in Chambers yesterday, in favor
of the American Union Telegraph Com
pany, and the determination of their op
ponents in the case to carry it to the
Supreme Cmrt, as reported by us yes
terday a committee of three, consisting f
Meters. D. McRae, M Cron'y and John
D. Taylor were appointed to assess tLe
compensation which should be paid to
the W. & W. and W. O. k A Roads, "by
the American Union. A report front this
committee, we understand, may be lock
ed for in about ten days
There is a very general ! ntertet felt in
the matter because everybody longs
to welcome the American Union line
to this 'city. This new company bas
during its short existence of only a little
more than a year, constructed and now
control, over 70,000 miles of wire within
the United States. The opposition they
bave to contend with originates,f course,
with their.opponents, the Western Union.
They have but seldom had to pay, we are
iaformed, for securiBg a right of way and
as a rule the compensation has been nom
inal. Over the Western Rail Road, from
Atlanta to Chattanooga, a dlstance'of 138
miles", we understand that they were as
sessed bat $100 and over the Mobile &
Montgomery road. 180 mll.,.bt $50.
The former is said to be the largest as
sessment they have yet had to pay South
of Baltimore.
