| In the depot at Alexandria {Orange
& Alexandria RR} were found twenty or thirty freight cars
and trucks and two broken down engines. The Zouaves found in the cars
2,000 kegs of gunpowder, 200 barrels beef. $1,500 in doubloons, two
cases of Colt's revolvers, a box of double-barreled fowling pieces,
several superior Maynard's and Colt's rifles, preserved meats and
clothing, &c. The safe in which the doubloons were found was
opened after two hours exertion. |
