--Two first-class passenger engines were brought to this city last Saturday night by the Virginia Central Railroad, and are now at their shops. They were taken from the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railway. One is named after the President of that road, Lewis McKenzie, and the other Charles P. Manning. They are about twenty-seven ton engines, fifteen-inch cylinder, twenty-two inch stroke, with five feet drivers, and were built by William Mason, Taunton, Massachusetts. We learn also that three engines of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad are now on the way to Richmond. A number of the Baltimore and Ohio cars have been in use by the Central Road for some days past; and, if the troubles continue, we will expect to see very soon the greater part of the rolling stock on our road composed of this kind of contraband.
