| The Convention of Railroad officers |
| The near approach of the day for the
assembling of the Convention to devise measures for a supply of
railroad materials, renders it almost unnecessary that we should again
call attention to its importance, for doubtless the press throughout
the South have urged it in their columns with a view to securing a
full representation. A casual glance at the subject, even, will
convince a reflecting mind of the necessity of the prompt adoption of
some measures to guard against the possible calamity of an
interruption in some indispensable chain of railway,
by the wearing out of working materials which could not, without great
inconvenience, be supplied. There is no class of men so well qualified
to take this work in hand, as those who, by long experience, fully
appreciate the minutest necessities of matters under their immediately
control. We hope, therefore, that on the 5th of the present month,
every railroad in the Confederate States will be represented in the
meeting in this city. |
