Central (of Georgia) Railroad
Savannah, Ga., January 24th, 1861
 
   Having been informed that reports are circulated in the Up Country of Georgia, in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, (no doubt put forth by interested persons, to injure Savannah and her Rail Road and Steam Ship Lines,) that the Port of Savannah is closed by blockade, or by some other means, and that Goods and Produce may be delayed by this Route.
   This is to give notice to all interested that the Commerce of this Port is unobstructed and going on with its usual activity; that our Steam Ships are running as usual and are likely to continue, and that Shippers can get their Goods, by this Route and ship their Produce in any direction as certainly and expeditiously as heretofore. No advance of Freight by the Steam Ship Lines to this port.
Geo. W. Adams
General Superintendent
