On Thursday night a stranger, wondering his way through Capitol Square, encountered a good- natured news-seeker, and informed him that he was going to the President's house with an official dispatch of the great battle at Bowling Green, where 700 Federals were killed, 1,000 made prisoners, and the rest driven into the river. This news, he said, was strictly true, and it was his proud office to communicate it in person to the President. The listener rushed into the Capitolr arose and asked that proceedings might be suspended for the purpose of acquainting the House with some highly favorable news.
