Telegram To General G. B. Mcclellan. Washington, April 21, 1862 MAJOR-GENERAL McCLELLAN: Your despatch of the 19th was received that day. Fredericksburg is evacuated and the bridges destroyed by the enemy, and a small part of McDowell's command occupies this side of the Rappahannock, opposite the town. He purposes moving his whole force to that point. A. LINCOLN.
