| The Connecting Railroad Link |
| We understand that the
recommendation of President Davis for the construction of a connecting
link of railroad from Greensboro', N. C., to Danville, Va.,
{the Piedmont RR} "as most indispensable
for the successful prosecution of the war," in order to facilitate the
rapid transportation of troops and supplies, and munitions of war, has
been brought to the attention of the North Carolina Convention now in
session. Heretofore the right of way has been obstinately denied by
former North Carolina Legislatures. There is no doubt but it will now be
most cheerfully accorded by the Convention of that State. |
