cation by sea. They will land at Wilmington and
there take the Rail Road for the Roanoke, as their
best means of reaching Norfolk and BALTIMORE

between 1900 ard 2000 Between Charleston and

more than sufficient for the transportation of pas
sengers Since the establishment of the Rail Road,
The average Of passengers 10 Charleston has gone
as lar as 500 per week"
