| Five engines, captured by our troops in
the neighborhood of
Manassas
and Warrenton arrived in
Lynchburg
on Friday by way of the Orange
{&Alexandria} railroad. Three of the five were not at
all damaged the other two are slightly injured, but can be soon put in
running order. Their value cannot be new less than $20,000 a piece.
Extraordinary exertions had to be made to complete the trestle work
across the
Rappahannock
river, to admit their passage 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 across the Rappahannock, and are now safe from their former owners. |
