Runaways caught |
Six negro men, employed by the
Fredericksburg Railroad Company {Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac RR}, were taken yesterday by a
squad of cavalry, while making tracks for the Yankee lines below Fredericksburg. They had provided themselves for the journey, and were making good
time when overhauled. They were brought to Richmond
and put in Castle Godwin. |
