| The Superintendent of the
Central {(of Georgia)} Railroad, on
Thursday, telegraphed to Dr. E. C. Williamson, of Macon, that a number
of negroes were wanted at Tybee, and desired to know if his, in the
employ of the Company, should be sent down. Below is his reply: |
| "You can send my negroes to
Tybee, or even to the borders of Abolitionism, if necessary, to serve
the Southern Confederacy." |
| We learn that Dr. W. reached
the city yesterday, and that his negroes will at once go down to Tybee.
We also learned from Mr. Adams {George W. Adams,
Superintendent} that a number of other gentlemen, whose negroes
are hired to the Railroad, were applied to for permission to send them
to Tybee, and in every instance the response was similar to that of Dr.
Williamson. Such noble acts of patriotism speak for themselves. |
