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." |
