| For the information of
officers and soldiers, returning to their commands, in the army of
Virginia, Col. Hugaley suggests through the Winchester, (West Point)
Bulletin, that it is not well for them to proceed by way of Augusta,
as they are liable to be detained by the authorities, and there is no
established route through from that point. It is better for them to go
by way of Washington, Ga., where they will find a Government {wagon}
train running to Abbeville Court House, S. C., (distance 40
miles,) where they will take the Greensboro {Greenville
& Columbia} R. R. to Alston, (20 {80}
miles,) where they will find another wagon train running across
to Winnsboro, at which point they intercept the Columbia &
Charlotte {Charlotte & South Carolina} R.
R. They should not attempt to carry baggage. Col. Hugaley came through
with only "boots and spurs." |
| This is very near the route
suggested by us for mail communications with Richmond, should the line
via Columbia be cut. |
