| Government Aid to Railroads |
| We learn that the railroad
connection through Tennessee and North Carolina {he
must mean the Piedmont RR}, recommended by
President Davis, is to be made a test question in Congress, as to the
propriety of the government extending aid to some other railroads. The
matter of aiding three roads is under the consideration of the
government, viz: that recommended by the President, that completing
the line now wanting between Montgomery and Jackson, and the Texas
road, to complete communications between that State and Louisiana. |
