| The enemy burned the two
culverts on each side of the Goshen Swamp trestle work on the
Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, seriously damaged the trestle-work
itself, and tore up some two hundred yards of the track in one place
and about seventy yards in another, or rather they made the railroad
negroes do it. They built fires on the track at Mount Olive and
Milton, though we have not learned the amount of damage done at these
points. |
