On the 16th instant, a
letter was received from Maj. C. D. Melton, inclosing communication
from Capt. T. R. Sharp, superintendent of the Charlotte & South
Carolina Railroad, asking exemption from service on the coast of
certain slaves employed by his company and now under orders for
service. It was referred to the attention of the Governor, who
returns it with an indorsement of this date, regretting his
inability to control this matter. |
