| Condition of our Railroads |
| The meeting of several of
railroad Presidents of Virginia and North Carolina was lately held at
Richmond, the object of which was to inquire into the condition of the
several roads, to ascertain their wants in regard to rolling stock, iron
&c., and the best method of supplying the roads with the necessary means
of performing the immense labor now thrown upon them. A resolution was
passed advising a transfer of the effects of that part of the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, under the control of the Southern Confederacy, to the
roads of the South. Besides this, they agreed upon some plan for the
establishment of rolling mills, &c. |
