| The business on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, as far
as through traffic is concerned, is entirely destroyed. The rebels have
possession of a few miles near Harper's Ferry, where they have taken up
not the rails merely, but the sleepers and cross ties, and have also
taken down and carried away all the trestle work and broken down all the
culverts. They have also carried off all the locomotives and cars on
this part of the road, and all the telegraph wire and engine shop
machinery. ***** |
