| Probable Destruction of Railroad Cars and
Stores |
| [DR. Nagle's Dispatch] |
| There are about thirty five
miles of Railroad stock, making nearly 3000 engines and cars belonging
to every five foot gauge in the Confederacy, accumulated about
Charlotte. The gauge changes there preventing them from going further.
Sherman's move will cause or has caused their destruction. All were
heavily loaded with stores. For the want of wood and water at the
different stations, they could not be moved between Chester and
Charlotte. |
