From the Southern Confederacy (Atlanta, Ga.)
 
January 14, 1862
 
Notice to Shippers
   The constantly advancing price of all supplies used on Railroads, renders an increase in the rate of transporting freight absolutely necessary to enable the Roads to keep their machinery, &c., in effective condition to do the work. All the Western roads have already advanced. 
   Therefore, on and after the 15th instant, the "Rates of Freight" will be increased Twenty (20) per cent on the rates now in use, dated September 1, 1861, and signed Geo. W. Adams, General Superintendent Central Railroad.
   The 20 per cent increase will not apply to car loads of Coal or Stock.
   By "Passenger Train," one to three horses or mules will be charged double local rate;' more than three will be charged one and a half local rate.
   Horses or mules, less than a car load, for the Confederate States or State of Georgia, consigned to an officer of either, will be charged full local rates, of each Road, by Freight Train.
