| From the Central {(of
Georgia)} Road |
| Passengers who came down on
this road, last night, report that a raiding party of the enemy tapped
this road at Griswoldville, ten miles this side of Macon, at 3 o'clock
on Sunday afternoon. They confirm the report of the capture and
destruction of a lumber rain. Two freight trains going hence to Macon
approached very near to the wreck before discovering the presence of the
enemy. The lumber train captured was set on fire, the valve of the
engine reversed, and the train started down the track. The freight
trains were reversed and put back as rapidly as possible. ***** |

| The up train on this road
yesterday, did not go further than Crawfordville, 65 miles from Augusta,
from which point an engine was sent up to Union Point, 10 miles further.
The engineer reports that the enemy were three miles above the latter
place, in what force was not known, but believed to be but a small body
of cavalry. It is rumored that the enemy crossed the Oconee below the
Railroad bridge. The enemy was in Greensboro' on Sunday afternoon. |
| There was no train from Athens
yesterday. ***** |
