From the Richmond Dispatch, 8/9/1862
Yankees Expected. – By dark last evening the
Danville cars had arrived at the Coal Fields, above this city, with 500 of the
Yankees for some time since imprisoned at the Lynchburg Fair Ground, and the
Commissary of the C. S. Prison at this point was busily engaged in preparing
food for them. Among the prisoners at Lynchburg is the 1st (Yankee)
Maryland regiment, captured at Port Royal by Gen. Jackson’s forces. By 9
o’clock this morning the whole 3,000 Yankees, lately at Lynchburg will have
arrived here, as they were started towards this place yesterday.
