| It is understood that the four
bridges burnt by the Confederate cavalry on the Georgia State Railroad
{Western & Atlantic RR}, have been
rebuilt, and that the cars are now running to Chickamauga station.
When will our people learn that they injure themselves only when they
destroy railroad bridges? The bridges could not be used by the enemy
without cars, and of the latter they had none this side of the
Tennessee, and could not get any in a space of time which would not
have been ample to replace the bridges. |

| {not true that the
bridges were worthless without cars -- many bridges were planked over
so that men, horses and wagons could cross over them} |
