| The Railroad on 8th street to connect the {Richmond
&} Petersburg and Fredericksburg {Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac} Railroads, is rapidly approaching
completion, and so soon as the bridge across the canal on 8th street
is finished, the cars will commence running. The connection will be of
great advantage, as it will enable freight to be carried through the
city by the railroad instead of by the slow and more expensive way of
hauling. In transporting troops and their equipments, it will be found
a great convenience. |
