| We fully concur with our correspondent T.
in reference to the resumption of the running of the night train to and
from Columbia. We understood that the Government had prohibited the
running of two trains on the South Carolina Railroad, but if that order
has been rescinded, we believe the night train will be resumed. If we
are to have but one train, however, we cannot agree with our
correspondent that the night train would be preferable, as under the
present through schedule to and from Richmond, the day train is the
connecting one. While the inconvenience of the stoppage of the night
train is severely felt by travellers to the points mentioned by our
correspondent, that to which through travellers would be subjected at
Kingville and Augusta would be much greater. We trust, however, that the
night train will soon be resumed. |
