Railroad |
| This road, we are assured, is submerged
for a distance of five miles under a depth of water ranging from 1
inch to 18 inches. A party on the track day before yesterday in a
batteau, was unable to touch bottom in some places which were washed.
The water had fallen in town night before last about two feet, and it
is presumed began to subside at the railway bridge yesterday. If so,
in about four or five days the track will be bare again, and it is
hoped that it will be found not greatly damaged. There has been little
or no current over it, and unless a greater current shall accompany
the recession of the water, we hope the road will be in working order
again in a few days. Meanwhile, we sympathize with our numerous Twiggs
county readers who are thus cut off from regular intelligence in these
perilous times. |
