Richmond, Va., July 24.--“Two gentlemen who left Washington Monday night have reached this city.
The tale they tell is awful.
They say that no words can describe the terror, confusion, and dismay which pervade the Rump authorities.
All the boats were removed from the south side of the river, and the draw on the Long Bridge was raised to prevent the army this side emptying itself on Washington.
But for this precaution there would not now be a Yankee on this side the Potomac.” --Richmond Enquirer, July 25.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
