The train went in one mile of Junction
and Mr. Angel took a hand-car and went up to the depot. The Yankee
cavalry that had been tearing up road all night east of junction, on
the Richmond & Danville Railroad, galloped in as he was leaving
Junction. His negroes ran off and he left his hand-car and returned
to the train and thence here. General Lee is reported to have been
fighting hard since last night. It is said he is being driven back.
His headquarters are said to be at Amelia Court-House. I do not
vouch for the truth of these reports regarding Lee's army.
