Wood! The Railroad
   We alluded last week to the suffering which must fall on the people of this City, if our Railroads failed to bring us the usual supply of wood.
   We are glad to record, that we have learned since, that a small portion of wood has been brought in upon the Raleigh & Gaston Road, and that ten car loads came in the other day on the North Carolina Railroad.
   We could not for a moment believe, that such gentlemen as Dr. Hawkins and Mr. Webb, the Presidents of the two Railroads, as well as the Directors and officers of the Roads, could refuse so reasonable and necessary a demand, to allow wood to be brought upon the Roads; and surely the military authorities must see the necessity of preventing the seizure of wood on the Road, designed for the people of this City.
