Richmond
&
Danville
Railroad Company |
The stockholders of
this company reassembled last night at Metropolitan Hall, the lack of
a quorum having prevented the transaction of any important business
previously. The main subject of debate was the proposed connection of
the road with the North Carolina Railroad,
alluded to as a military necessity by President Davis in his message
to Congress; and among those who participated was Ex Governor
Morehead, of North Carolina. There seemed to be a decided sentiment in
favor of the scheme, and it is probable that the President and
Directors of the road will be authorized to co-operate with the
Government in the matter. |
