| Is the train of ordnance from Charleston
coming thro here or going via Gaston? I would suggest that you
telegraph Maj Peires in Raleigh for transportation hereafter at least
until the freight trains resume their usual trips upon the Wilmington {&
Weldon} Road, due notice of which, shall be given you. |
