ers were taken to Manassas Junction,
and shipped thence to Richmond, being
the frst consignment Of hated "Yanks'

treatment they received from their
captors was about what might be ex-
pected, but that the people Of Rich
mond. particularly the women, were

there they were lined up. the Ver-
monter in tho lead. and marched into
