| Five valuable locomotives, captured by the
Confederates in the neighborhood of Warrenton and Manassas sometime
since, reached Lynchburg last Friday over the Orange {&
Alexandria} Railroad. Three
of the five are uninjured, and the other two but slightly damaged.
They are all of the best workmanship, of heavy capacity, and estimated
to be worth in the present times of scarcity of machinery at least
$20,000 specie. Extraordinary exertions were required to complete the
trestle work across the Rappahannock river, to admit the passage of
these locomotives over the stream, and it was finished, just in time
to get them out of the way of the Yankees in their late raid to
Warrenton. A number of cars have also been brought in safety over the
Rappahannock. |
