| We omitted to notice last week the
appointment of Major John S. Rowland of Cass, Superintendent of the
State Road {Western & Atlantic RR} in
the place of Dr. Lewis resigned. It is also stated that Dr. Lewis by
special request, has consented to take charge of the military
transportation between Atlanta and Richmond, for which he has
purchased a number of first class Engines, in addition to those
already in use. His experience in Railway management, his promptness
and energy qualify him for this trust, which could not be committed to
more faithful hands. His successful administration of the State Road
is the best evidence of his competency for all similar duties. The
Confederate Government has done well in securing the services of Dr.
Lewis whose object is to serve his country regardless of compensation. |
