| To the Railroads |
| The last Wilmington Journal makes the
following appeal to the conductors of the Railroads. We hope they will
heed it. The people of that section as well as the soldiers must not
need bread when it is so abundant. We are somewhat surprised however
to hear the complaint while the Cape Fear is navigable: |
| "There is not a bushel of meal at the
grain stores, nor any corn fit to make meal out of, nor is there a barrel
of flour on sale. There is plenty in the interior, so we are informed,
but it can't be got down. Cannot the Railroads strain a point? Have
they not bowels of compassion for us?" |
