| A good move |
| The Directors of the
Lynchburg
and Tennessee Railroad {the
Virginia & Tennessee RR} have determined that under no
state of circumstances will interest on the company's bonds, held in New York, be paid. This is touching the Yankee's pocket-nerve — a place
where he is most susceptible. Cannot some of our home railroads follow
this patriotic example? It is the duty of all to discomfit the enemy.
We said and assist him in furnishing the "sinews of war."
Withhold them, and the fratricidal scoundrels are powerless to do us
harm. At the end of this war, it would be good policy for Southern
debtors to pay over the amounts owing by them to Northern people to
those parties who have been robbed of their property through the
machinations of the rump Washington Government. |
