An immense mortar, says the Petersburg (Va.) Express,
of the 12th instant, weighing 15,000 pounds, arrived here yesterday
from the Tredagar Works, at Richmond, intended for South Carolina.
The calibre is adapted to 10 inch mortar shells, sixty of which
accompanied it, several hundred having already preceded it. It
remained at the Richmond depot {Richmond &
Petersburg RR} during the day, and will this morning pass
through the city on a heavy granite wagon, to the Southern depot
{Petersburg RR}. |
