| Railroads |
| The Southern Confederacy of the 20th inst warmly urges
the propriety of continuing at work on at least two railroads from that
point {Atlanta}, the "Air Line," and
"Georgia Western" from Atlanta to Jacksonville. That paper very
correctly argues that there is abundance of idle capital, and also a
redundancy of idle negroe labor that could not be better or more
profitably employed; and that the track could be all graded, and the
cross ties got ready, even if the iron could not be got to lay the track
until the end of the war. |
