| Milledgeville and Warrenton Railroad |
|
We understand that this Railroad with one or two very
slight exceptions, is graded all the way to Milledgeville. The Road
from Macon to Gordon, and fro Gordon to Milledgeville, can be
repaired in a few days. Then if the iron from Milledgeville to
Mayfield, on the Warrenton and Milledgeville Road could be laid,
which is only about 31 miles, we should have a short and
uninterrupted communication from Central Georgia and Alabama to
Richmond. This route would be much shorter than either of the old
routes if they were in good repair. But it is very doubtful whether
either can be repaired this winter; and if the one by the Central
Railroad and Millen was repaired, it is very doubtful how long the
enemy would permit them to remain in order But the one through the
middle of the State, will, in all probability, remain unmolested for
the balance of this winter at least. Under all these circumstances,
would it not be great economy do the government to finish, that is,
lay the iron on that small portion of the Warrenton and
Milledgeville Railroad between Mayfield and Milledgeville. |
