NP, RD 4/11/1861

From the Richmond Dispatch
 
April 11, 1861
 
   We learn that the {Virginia} Central Railroad has sustained serious injury — so much so that the mails will not leave by that route for several days to come — the earth has been washed very badly in sundry places along its line of travel. We have already noted the injury sustained by the Fredericksburg Road {Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac RR}, and have only to add that its officers have as yet been unable to determine its extent.
   *****
   The Central Railroad authorities will today send western bound passengers to the Junction, via the Fredericksburg Road. The Central Road has not been injured by the flood beyond that point.
