   From and after this date all freights carried by trains of other Roads, running on this track by permission, must be prepaid before the departure of the train from the point of shipment.
   Any such train coming on to this Road to haul troops or freight, will be allowed the proportion of the income of such train as agreed to and fixed upon at the Augusta Convention in Dec., 1862, (viz: one-eighth.) This will not effect any special agreement heretofore made for a specific purpose, or for a limited time. It will, however, govern in the payment for the transportation of troops and their baggage, and one-fourth of the income of any freight train will be the maximum allowance to the train for hauling, from the first of April, instant.
