| One of the splendid Yankee railroad
engines captured by our troops near Manassas, some months since, and
assigned to the {Richmond &} Danville
Railroad, having been thoroughly repaired at the workshops of the
company in this city, was yesterday placed on the road for the first
time. It operated finely. To adapt it to use on the road the gauge of
the engine had to be altered, but being of superior make, it was worth
all the alteration required. Formerly bearing the name of some Yankee
General, the Abolitionists would now hardly know the specimen of their
handicraft under the modes cognomen of Pocahontas, which she bears. |
