"e have been taVoured with q very interesting &C.
count of matters aud things III the Southwest, with
reference not only TO the ravages committed upon the
Mobile and Ohio, the Selma and the Southern Rail-
road by SHERNANs troops but also of the reckless and
useless destruction property by troops there
obstruction rather system of destruction which
needs to be curbed AMI restrained if not wholly for
hidden.
General SnERMAN'5 army destroyed the bridges cul
vtrts warehouses water stations and turntables On
miles OF the Mobile and Oao Rlroad and within this
distance tore up 2l miles OF the track on 1G miles Of
which there was nothing OF cross ties left but the ashs
and the heavy rails of which that road is built for the
whole distance of lG miles, we're bent in every con-
cuiva5e shape. There were two heavy bridges over
rivers nearly large the Neuse at the crossing of
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad one smaller one,
three quarters of mile of trese besides 43 smaller
pieces ard wooden culverts.
lie tore up the track and burned the tregtle work
(ot which there was very little and no important
bridge Oh 9 miles of the Selma Road, which being
built with light rail is easily Strengthened than
the heavy rails used on the Mobile and Ohio Road.
On the Southern tVicksburg) Road, he tore up
about mills of track, and burned few bridges and
but little trese work. That Road is not materially
damaged.
Gen. SHERMANs great object seemed to be to de-
stroy the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Col. FLEM-
mo, the Engineer and superintendent was equally anx
lous to repair it IN the shortest possible time. The
larger portion OF the railroad hands had fed in every
direction on the approach of Gen. SHERMAN's army,
and another part on the appearance Gems SMITH and
GRIERsoN- The difficulties encountered in coIlectintc
hands in country so completely desolated BY the enc
my will be easily understood. Notwithstanding this
an engine was run over the road SHxRMAN had de.
stroyed In 291a days after the work was commenced
or in 80 days after SHERNANs army left Meridian
and days OF the above time lost by heavy rains
so that tue work was actually accomplished in 25 =
working days; and in fact the Mobile and Ohio road
was IN working order four days before the Selma Road
was ready to connect with it. As late as last week
the Southern road was not yet in running order

GRrrOtinR,

Night before last while Mr.. HARRY Brock, Con
ductor on the Wilmington & Manchester r. r , was
going up to the steamboat TO go to the depot
the Western side Of the river, two accosted him
opposite to the Methodist Episcopal Church, Front
Street, and enqured about the starting of the train
and the way to the depot. Mr.. Brock told them he
was going there himself, and would show them the
way. lie then went on, the men with him. The par
y went down the steps at the south end of the freight
depot Of the Wilmington and Weldon Boad, Mr..
BROCK in advance, the men following. Just Mr..
BROCK eeached the bottom he suddenly found his arms
pinion':d as in vice. while something thrown over
his mouth and around his neck straugling him and at
the same time preventing his calling out His pockets
were searched and ried of valuable gold watch, four
brndred dollars in money, and perhaps some other val
r4.oes but of this we have not learned.
A man, belonging perhaps to the railroad, coming
with light found Mr. BROCK and had him conveyed
to the Wayside Hospital luckily very near, where,
after proper restoratVes had been applied he revived
but was unable last night to 60 out the train. He
thinks that as the with the light came he heard
the sound of persons running away, most probably
the robbers alarmed at the approach of the light. The
affair probably occurred about o'clock at night and
in very dark spot.
1t Is clear case of garroting-ot the worst kind OF
highway robbery, and shows tha. there are very dan
eerous characters about. We have not seen Mr.
BROCK ourselves since the occurrence, and may be
slightly mistaken in some particulars, which we give
as we get them. We do not know whe her be recol
ecs the appearance of the men sufficiently well to
identify them.
