wAsnS6ros, Saturday, April l2, Isss
TruEtvOrthy scouts report that the Rebels have
almost entirely abandoned their position upon the
south bank of the Rsppabannock, and bsve fallen
back 70 the immediate vicinity Of Gordonsve and
Richmond. 1t il believed that the greater portion Of
the Rebel army of the Potomac has gone 10 the
relief of Norfolk and Yorktown, at which places the
enemy have doubtless concentrated their whole
strength.
The utter destruction Of rails and cross-ties beyond
Cedar Run greatly retards our movements upon the
line Of the Gordonsville Railroad, and renders al
immense outlay Of capital and labor necessary before
any blow can be inflicted upon the enemy by our
advance.
