Another New Locomotive
   The Macon & Western Rail Road machine shop, in this city, turned out upon their Road, yesterday, a very beautiful new Locomotive, made wholly within their shops, except that the iron castings were produced at the Foundry of the Messrs Schofield. This engine has been named the "Victory" -- weighs about forty-five thousand pounds, and is designed for the freighting business. In her entire structure and finish -- even of the ornamental and decorative parts -- we venture to say she will compare most honorably with any locomotive engine now running in Georgia. Long may the Victory triumph over time, space and burden, in the service of the company.
{This was not a new locomotive, but a rebuild of the Griffin. The "new" locomotive was named Victory.}
