Point of Rocks, Wednesday, Sept. 11 |
|
Union men from Martinsburgh on Saturday, report that the
rebels have taken up the entire track on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad from that town to North Mountain, a distance of 9 miles, and
transported the rails, etc., to Manchester, for the extension of the
Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire Railroad, from Strasburgh to that
point. The track torn up was lately relaid by the company. |
|
At Duffield's station, on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, the rebels were busily engaged in taking down seven or eight
new and first-class locomotives for transportation on the Winchester {&
Potomac RR}. These locomotives had but recently been put upon
the route; some of them are of the heaviest kind, and were probably
spared by the rebels in the recent conflagrations on account of their
adaptability to transporting troop-trains in Virginia. |
