A Losing Game |
The Northern holders of the Mississippi
Central Railroad bonds did not make anything, but, on the contrary, it
appears, were losers by the arrest of Col. Walter
Goodman, President of that road, in New York. He addressed the
citizens of Grenada, Miss., on the night of the 14th inst. The Rural
Gentleman says: |
He gave, as we learn, an interesting
account of his arrest in New York as a spy, his being taken before
Gen. Wool, the overhauling of his baggage, his release, the watchings
of the enemy after his release, and his return with the money he had
taken with him to pay the bonds of his road. |
