A man arrived from York on Saturday afternoon with a premature dispatch of the capture of that place. Everyone expected the immediate approach of the enemy on the spot. This was amusingly illustrated by a circumstance that occurred a few hours later. A party of our own cavalry dashed over the bridge at rather a quick pace, and terrified everyone by the suddenness of their approach, who, without stopping to inquire, concluded they were a party of the enemy. ‘The rebels,’ ‘The rebels are coming’ ran through the streets. Women fled to fourth stories and basements, and men wherever they could find a shelter. There was a general alarm and no show of fighting. The old and the young were terrified alike, and all were equally relieved and delighted when they perceived the cavalry were friends instead of foes. Some, however, could not believe it a reality that the rebels were not yet among them for a considerable time.28
