| A gentleman informs me, who
has just returned from Lynchburg, that a rail was taken from the track
near Buford's depot {on the Virginia &
Tennessee RR}, and an embankment of some sixty feet, on
Tuesdaynight. But, thanks to an overruling Providence, the engine
did not get off. These are significant hints. That the country is
infested by a gang of hired cut-throats, none can deny, and ought to
arouse the authorities to the sense of danger that surrounds us. Every
effort should be made to ferret out these villains, who are let loose
upon an unsuspecting people. Keeping a constant guard during these
exciting times seems to me most judicious. |
