| Railroad Transportation For the Army |
| For some reason which they
would find it difficult to explain to the public satisfaction, the
Senate, among their last acts, refused to confirm the appointment of Wm.
M. Wadley as Inspector and Agent for the supervision of Railroad
transportation in the Confederate States, where-upon Mr. Wadley, after
rendering signal service to the country by bringing order out of chaos,
retired from the duties which had engaged his attention for many months
previous. It is understood, however, that there was no objection to Mr.
W. personally or to any part of his official conduct. |
| It will be seen, from the
order published elsewhere, that Capt. F. W. Sims, of the First Volunteer
Regiment of Georgia, who has been acting as assistant to Mr. Wadley, has
been detailed to the post, and will hereafter conduct its duties in his
office at Richmond. Captain Sims has much experience in railroad
management and business qualifications of the highest order, and hence,
while we regret the loss of so valuable a man as Mr. Wadley to the
service, we congratulate the army on the filling of the post by one so
worthy to succeed him. |
