| Navy Yard Cannon |
| Some fifteen or twenty heavy
cannon reached Richmond on yesterday from Portsmouth, by way of the
Norfolk & Petersburg, South Side and {Richmond &}
Danville Railroads. They were {not}
brought by way of the Richmond & Petersburg Railroad, on account of the
great difficulty which would have attended their transfer from one depot
to the other. They were all spiked, but will easily be restored. |
| {Another
article on the same day reports that the steamer "Empire" had brought up
a barge from Norfolk the day before containing more guns.} |
