| Twenty cases of muskets, of
the make of 1852, were brought over the Southern Road to-day, from Fayetteville, destined for
Augusta, Georgia. They will be forwarded over the South-Side Railroad.
Though the route is very circuitous, it is rendered more eligible by
its more perfect connections. |
| Two nine-inch Columbiads were
brought up from
Norfolk
yesterday, destined for New Orleans. They will also be transported over the South-Side
Railroad. It is understood that they are intended to be put on
board of ships, for the defence of the harbor. |
