Saturday, July 19, 1862
The cars arrived yesterday evening,
bringing very little
news.
Hindman did not capture Curtis's army, as reported.
The Federalists
are at Culpeper C.H. with their
headquar-
ters at Dick Patterson's. Said to be about
6000 in
number, and
fortifying. There is a report that they
have left
Winchester entirely;
a small force there when
the last reliable information
came. Gen. Robertson has
left the Valley and gone East
with his whole cavalry com-
mand, except one regiment. A
dozen Federal
prisoners
were brought in yesterday. Very distinct
cannonading
heard
this morning.
