I have ordered the iron removed from the
Macon and Atlanta Railroad {Macon &
Western RR} above Griffin, and from the Augusta
road {Georgia RR} all above Oconee
River. It would be better for us if there were no railroad from
Atlanta
to Augusta. Would it not be well to remove the iron from a point even farther
south than this on the Augusta
road? The army very much inspirited by our move in this direction.
