Important
   We direct attention to the important call of Major Echols, the Quartermaster at this Post, for negroes to take up the rails on the Statesville Railroad {Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio RR}, to be used repairing the Richmond & Danville Road. The work must be done, and the hands must be furnished immediately. Prompt action is necessary to furnish Gen. Lee's army with supplies. The hands will be kept but a few days.
