Appearances and talk
on the streets last night indicated that they had news that worried them. This
morning I learned from a sergeant, that General Stuart is killed. Our cavalry
are troubling the railroads, the long bridge mentioned near Burkville, they
destroyed. Several hundred start from other prisons to Georgia. There are some
wounded here, thus far no medical attendance. Considerable excitement in the
street occasioned by several bodies of troops leaving for the front to join
Lee's army.
