| Seizure of trains |
| Nashville, July 5 |
| The up and down passenger trains on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad were seized this morning at Camp
Truesdale, near Mitchellville, by order of Maj. Gen. Anderson, and
both brought to this city. |
| The managers had taken all the engines and
rolling stock, except a few cars, to Louisville.
Against this policy we had remonstrated, and this seizure was a
necessity to protect ourselves. |
| Gen. Anderson informed the agent here that
no further seizures would be made, and that trains should pass
uninterrupted. |
