| What the Confederates got at Manassas |
| From a Union man lately from the vicinity
of Manassas
we learn that the attempt to destroy the stores and cars at that point
by our people, at the time Gen. Banks fell back to Centreville, was a
failure. The cars and engines were so little injured by the fire that
almost the entire number was got off by the rebels. They got six
engines in this way, and a large number of cars. Two of the engines
were in sufficiently good order to run at once. The rebels also got a
large amount of supplies here, very little damaged; amongst them a car
load of harness, and sufficient arms to supply soldiers and citizens
with two or three guns apiece. |
