| The
solicitude about friends who were in the great battle at Manassas
Junction on the 21st inst., will cause many in Georgia and Alabama to
hurry to the place. For their benefit I will state that if they go by
the Virginia route they should leave Montgomery by the morning train
-- leave Atlanta by the 7 P. M. train on this Road -- the connection
by this train is close, going through from Atlanta to Richmond in
about fifty-three hours. |
| I will further state that if
the East Tennessee Roads are short of Cars this Road will help them to
as many Cars as may be needed in the emergency. |
