LARGE yuMBER OF HoRsBS DEoWNRp
About ten o'clock last night, about fif.y.
i've hundred horses in the corral at Camp
Stonenan {9tesboro Point) broke out OF
the enclosure and stampedsd, going in different
directions in droves. A large drove OF them
came up the road leading to the city, and the
guard on the bridge attempted to stop them,
when the drove divided, and they went pell.
nell into the branch, and many OF them were
drowned, the number lost being estimated at
from one TO four hundred. The guard at the
bridge at once get to work In getting out those
that were alive, and through their efforts a
large number were saved. Most OF this drove,
however, succeeded In swimming the branch
and landing At different points on this side,
number swimming to the Navy Yard wharves,
from W hence they We're taken. As soon as the
stampede took place, iarge force Of cavalry.
nen, st&blemen, &c, were sent out to gather
mp the animals, and to-day they are securing
the streets Of the city and the various roads In
Prince Georges picking them up. There are
various con lectures as TO tho cause Of the STAN.
pede, some claiming that 1t was the work OF
some rebel sympathizer, while others think
that the horses got to running to warm them.
selves, and knocked Down the enclosure.
P.S.-This stampede has assumed somewhat
gigantic proportions. It is now believed that
over one thousand horses were drowned in the
Potomac and Eastern Branch; and as these
hsrses had ali been purchased by the Govern.
ment, and were valued at st45 per head, the
loss to the Government would be Std5,00O.
