Arrival of Yankee R. R. Engines |
Five Yankee locomotives -- three uninjured
and two slightly damaged -- captured in the neighborhood of Warrenton
and Manassas, reached Lynchburg last Friday, over the Orange
{& Alexandria} Railroad, the trestle work
across the Rappahannock having been finished just in time to enable them
to cross and get out of the way of the Yankees in their late raid upon
Warrenton. The engines are valued at $20,000 a piece. A number of
captured cars were also brought over in safety. These are the same
engines which, the telegraph says, the Yankees claim to have
re-captured. |
