| At the railroad depot
{Orange & Alexandria RR}, the railroad
company had taken the precaution to run off all the freight and
passenger cars, engines, etc., except for a few which were being hastily
loaded with railroad iron (of which there appeared to be a considerable
quantity at the freight office,) when the U S. troops took possession.
