MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL. – A special meeting of the City Council was held last evening, to consider a petition from the Va. Central Rail Road Company, asking leave to erect a temporary track from their depot to the Fredericksburg depot on Broad street, for the purpose of removing engines and other rolling stock, blocked out from running by the movements of the enemy. As the track would only be allowed to remain for a short time upon the street – no longer, in fact, than necessary for the removal of the stock alluded to – the petition was granted.
