{Virginia} Central
Railroad |
The tressel work, spanning a creek on this
road a mile beyond the Chickahominy bridge, was pulled down and burnt
by the Yankees, but is being replaced as fast as circumstances will
permit. The enemy, during their occupation of
Hanover, pulled down and burnt the tressel work a mile beyond and a mile this
side of the Court-house, and removed the sills of a mile or two of the
track, though not all in one place. The large engine
that was overturned near the Depot a few days since, was still, as
late as yesterday, in a recumbent posture, though efforts were being
made for its extrication. |
