A Screw Loose
   The Savannah Republican says that recently government flour was passing over the North Carolina railroad from Raleigh to Charlotte on the same day that other government four was passing the other way, from Charlotte to Raleigh. Also, that shot of the same calibre and description have been passing from Mobile to Montgomery and from Montgomery to Mobile. And yet again; that sugar has been carried from Vicksburg to Jackson, and then again from Jackson towards Vicksburg. Considering the burdens of transportation over all railroads, this is inexcusable folly of some of the officials.
