| Chatham Railroad |
| We know of nothing of more importance to
the Confederate Government, at this time, than the early completion of
the Chatham Railroad. If any portion of our army should be transferred
to this vicinity, its value as a line of communication would be
incalculable. We all know what would have been the situation of
affairs but for the completion of the Piedmont road, and it may be
that the Chatham road will be of inestimable value to our Government.
The work should be pushed forward with increased energy. The road is
all graded, and the iron can, we think, be easily obtained from some
of the roads now seriously threatened by the enemy. |
