| Virginia to Florida, Greeting |
| Noticing the arrival at Atlanta, Ga., of
two cars belonging to the Norfolk & Portsmouth
{must be Petersburg} railroad, the Confederacy says: |
| They contained four 32-pounders cannon,
with their carriages and other appurtenances, such as round shot grape
and canister. The transportation from Portsmouth to this point has been
accomplished without transshipment over the Virginia, East Tennessee,
western & Atlantic, Macon & Western and Muscogee railroads. This
precious freight will be transferred to a steamer running between this
place and Apalachicola and at the latter point will be united with the
means already provided to give our Yankee friends a warm and
generous reception. |
