   The Petersburg Express of the 26th ult., says:
   "We observed several handsome new freight cars, made at the Petersburg Iron Works, being hauled through the streets yesterday morning, to be placed on the Southern Railroad. They are strong and substantially built cars, with the castings perfect in every respect, and will do honor to god workmanship anywhere. From signs which can be observed throughout the entire South, but especially in this State, we judge that we shall never hereafter be dependent on the North for our railroad engines, rolling stock, and all the paraphernalia necessary to the complete running order of our roads."
