| Fortifications at Weldon |
| We learn that the
fortifications at this place, under General Walter Gwyon, are
progressing rapidly, and are now in a condition to enable our troops
to resist and repel any number of the enemy. Weldon is a very
important point {the meeting point of the
Wilmington & Weldon RR, the Petersburg RR, the Raleigh &
Gaston RR and the Seaboard & Roanoke RR}, and we are
gratified that steps have been taken to save the Railroad and Bridge
at that point at all hazards. |
