| The Lynchburg Republican says
that on Friday, a party of Arkansas soldiers, after arriving at
Liberty, on the Tennessee Railroad {on the
Virginia & Tennessee RR, headed for Tennessee}, arrested
the conductor and put him under guard -- swearing most solemnly that
if he failed to make the connection at Bristol, they would kill him
and all connected with the train. The conductor was allowed to
telegraph for an extra engine, by the aid of which he succeeded in
making the connection, and thereby releasing himself from custody. |
