| An Embargo |
| The warehouses of the Southern Express Company at Charlotte
and Greensboro' {on the North
Carolina RR} are filled with goods of every description, awaiting transportation
to this city. It is said
that the Quartermaster's Department has monopolized the freight
facilities between Greensboro' and Danville, but, it is not a violent
supposition to say, that if more energy were manifested by the
Piedmont Railroad authorities, and more concert of action between them
and the Quartermasters established, with a view to promote the best
interests of the people at home as well as the army, the embargo
referred to would be of short duration.
Nothing that can be done to facilitate the transportation of
supplies in this direction, for public or private use, should be left
undone. |
