Sir,
   The letter of Major Cabell in regard to the delays in transportation on the Orange & Alexandria R. Road, which by your endorsement was submitted to the War Department, has been referred to this office, for attention. A letter from Mr. Vandergrift, the Superintendent of that road, whose attention was promptly called to this complaint, states that it was absolutely necessary that the wood for the purposes of the road, should be procured on the line of the {Virginia} Central and the extension of the Orange road, but increased means of transportation will be forwarded, so that no delay will result to transportation of Government stores.
