| From the Raleigh Confederate |

| April 13, 1864 |

| We learn from the Charlotte Democrat,
that the Directors of the Railroad leading from Charlotte to
Statesville {Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio RR},
have generously agreed to voluntarily surrender a portion of the rails
to the Government for the purpose of completing the Danville
connection. Such patriotic sacrifices by corporations or individuals
is to be commended. |
| We learn that only about six miles of the
rails just above Mount Mourne will be taken up. The cars will continue
to run between Mount Mourne and Charlotte, and as soon as enough strap
iron can be obtained to put in place of the T rails removed, we
presume the whole line will be put in operation again. |
