NP, RCF 3/4/1865

From the Raleigh Confederate
 
March 4, 1865
 
   We know of nothing of more importance to the Confederate government, at this time, than the early completion of the Chatham Railroad. If any portion of our army should be transferred to this vicinity, its value as a line of communication would be incalculable. We all know what would have been the situation of affairs but for the completion of the Piedmont road, and it may be that the Chatham road will be of inestimable value to our government. The work should be pushed forward with increased energy. The road is all graded, and the iron can, we think, be easily obtained from some of the roads now seriously threatened by the enemy.
