| Retreat of Pope's Army |
| The retreat of Pope's army is confirmed. A
guard of one hundred and fifty men, left to blow up the railroad
bridge across the Rappahannock river, after the Yankees had crossed,
was surprised by our men on Thursday, and captured. They were taken at
the same time two splendid new locomotives and tenders, and five or
six cars, which were to have been used by the guard in making their
retreat after the work was finished. The prisoners arrived in Richmond
Saturday night. |
