| The Way Open South |
| It gives us pleasure to state,
on the authority of the gentlemanly Superintendent of the Wilmington &
Manchester Railroad, Capt. Henry M. Drane, that his trains are now
running through to Kingsville, and that communication is open to
Columbia. Communication to Charleston and Augusta, via Kingsville, was
expected to open yesterday; at all events today. Communication is also
open to Charleston via Florence. |
| The late freshets have caused
sad havoc with our railroads, in the way of washed up bridges and
trestles. For several days no mail train has been enabled to pass
Kingsville, either North or South, on account of the freshet in the
Congaree, which caused a portion of the bridge or trestle work over that
wide scope of swamp or river to be carried away. We are pleased to hear
that these breaks have been repaired, and we do fervently hope, that as
matters now stand, our forces to meet a formidable foe at a certain
point, may be enabled to get to the right place in the right time. |
