From the Richmond Dispatch

Reticence
   Some weeks ago our newspapers informed the Yankees that an enormous amount of rolling stock had been carried up to Grenada. But not content with this some correspondents told their readers and the Yankees that Johnston was re-building the bridge over Pearl river in order to run off this stock and save it. In other words Grant was told to hurry on his raiding parties. He was not slow to take the hint and a terrible calamity has been the result.
