| Proposed Railroad Convention |
| A circular has been issued
by R. R. Cuyler, Esq., president of the Central
{(of Georgia)} Railroad and Banking Company, inviting a meeting
of all the railroad presidents and superintendents in the Confederate
States, at Columbia, South Carolina, on Thursday, September 4th, for the
purpose of considering the present condition of the roads and rolling
stock, and the means necessary to be adopted to keep them in effective
operations; also to regulate the fares and freights to the changed
condition of the country, and for other purposes. One other object of
the convention, it is stated, will be to arrange so that the roads
shall, at all times, be kept in condition to accommodate the government
and public in transporting promptly troops and supplies. It is of the
very first importance that this should be done. |
