B10, D 9/2/1861

September 2nd, 1861 -- One of the Engines {Baltimore & Ohio RR Engine No. 208} that was thrown into the river at Martinsburg, when the Confederate Army was at Harpers Ferry, has been brought into town {Fredericksburg} today by 32 horses, to be taken on to Richmond. It was quite a sight to see as it passed by -- looking very much like an iron monster. *****
