| In the Confederate House of
Representatives, on the 8th inst. Mr. Munerlyn, of Georgia, asked the
suspension of the rules in order to report a Senate bill which had been
referred to the Committee on Claims. The rules were suspended, and the
bill was reported, being entitled "an act for the relief of the
Brunswick & Albany Railroad Company in the State of Georgia." The bill
is to preserve the said railroad from being destroyed, and that the
stock of the said railroad, returned by the Receiver at Savannah, shall
not be sold at public auction as sequestered property or otherwise
disposed of under the sequestration acts. The railroad in question had,
it seems, transported all Government freight free of charge since the
commencement of the war. Mr. Hartridge, of Georgia, addressed the House
in favor of the bill, and the same being put on its passage, was passed. |
