Yankee engines

--Five engines, captured by our troops in the neighborhood of Manassas and Warrenton arrived in Lynchburg on Friday by way of the Orange railroad. Three of the five were not at all damaged the other two are slightly injured, but can be soon put in running order. Their value cannot be new less than $20,000 a piece. Extraordinary exertions had to be made to complete the trestle work across the Rappahannock river, to admit their passage over the stream, and it was finished just in time to get them out of the way of the Yankees in their late raid to Warrenton. A number of cars have also been brought across the Rappahannock, and are now safe from their former owners.
