| It being the common rumor on the streets,
that the stock of the Manassas Gap Railroad was to be placed on the
Piedmont Road, without consulting the proper person on the subject, we
last week made a statement to that effect. But from the following note
which we have received from the superintendent of the M. G. Railroad,
it will be seen that the people in supposing what it would seem should
be the case, are in error: |

| Editors Patriot, |
| In your issue of today you say the
machinery of the Manassas Gap Railroad has been removed here to do the
repairs of the Piedmont Road, and that the rolling stock of the
Manassas Gap Road has been leased to the Piedmont R. R. Co. This is an
error. The Piedmont Railroad Company have not made any application to
me to repair any of their stock, nor has the rolling stock of our road
been leased to them -- they having never made any application to me on
either subject. |
| Do me the favor to correct the statement
and believe me, truly yours, &c. |
