We passed over the Road from Richmond to Hamilton's
Crossing on Saturday the 12th inst and found it in excellent order. The
public enemy have in the past summer burnt the bridges over the North
and South Ana Rivers, tore up the track for three miles or more, bending
the iron and destroying the cross ties. The Executive Officers of the
Company deserve the thanks of the stockholders and of the public for
their energy and perseverance in repairing these injuries. The scarcity
of labor and material considered they have accomplished all that could
be expected of them. Three depots were also burned by the enemy. It has
not been deemed politic to replace them at present. With the exception
of their burnt depots, the road, and its appurtenances are in as good
order, as when the supply of labor and materials were abundant.
