| Rail Road from Chattanooga |
| The fact that Bragg is falling
back into Georgia along the line of railroad leading from Chattanooga
to Atlanta, causes a natural enquiry as to the distances from point to
point of that road. For instance the despatches yesterday stated that
Bragg has fallen back upon Dalton, and yet not one out of a hundred
could tell how far this was from Chickamauga or Chattanooga. The
distance from Chattanooga to Dalton is 38 miles, and from Chickamauga
to Dalton, (Bragg's retreat) is 28 miles. We give the following table
of distances of the railroad leading from Chattanooga directly to
Atlanta, as it will be found very useful for reference in connection
with the movements of the armies in that section: |
