Three More Powerful War Dogs
   At the Junction yesterday, says the Petersburg Express of the 20th, three immense guns were transferred from the {Richmond &} Danville to the South Side Railroad. A gentleman present says they were the largest he has ever seen, each measuring over twelve feet in length, the size of bore being in proportion. They were manufactured in Richmond at the Tredegar Iron Works, and are destined for the State of Alabama. They go by the Virginia, East Tennessee and other connecting railroads, to their place of destination.
