70 THE FREEMAN

WASHINGTON, July Is. We feel at liberty
to state that yesterday portion of the army
OF Gen. Pope entered the important town of
tordonsvllle, Va, unopposed, and duly de.
'troyed all the railroad paraphernalia at that
point, the junction of the Orange and Alexan-
drla and Virginia Central Railroad.
Three-fourths of the troops, munitions and
supplies of every description for the rebel army
at Richmond of necessity passed through Cor
louisville by railroad.
The blow, therefore, is a most important one
more especially as 1t is the first of IL series
which, we trust, will do more to cripple the Ell
hclency of the rebel Richmond army, than aught
that has yet occurred.
WASHINGTON, July IS. The Richmond En-
Yu'rer of the 18th appears alarmed at the order
of our War Department concentrating the forces
of Gems. Mcdowell, Fremont and Banks, under
Gen. Pope and remarks of the latter that he is
notorlo sly one of the most dangerous of the
Union commanders. An officer of great activity
and daring, aud is very apt to do unexpected
things.
1t adds, the foray into Orange County and
the destruction Of the Railroad bridge over the
Rapldan by the enemy, Is challenge on the
part of Pope that our Generals have now to
take up.
