The Army of tho Potomac has just oneamped from
Of tho tedious and rapid marches with lts lmenso
trains, in the history Of warfare. Tho 60
great for tho troops In tho time occupied but the
mont 6 tho ratons FOR ten 10 fifteen days by wagon
trains at tho same tlue, by four parallel routes,
tedious process, which can only bo imagined by tho
reader when no s told that this train On o single road
would exiond over sevoniy.nyo miles. Our march from
tho Rapdan, exclusive Of coun,ernarcbes, has been
about sixty miles Tho roads very bad-iha, ",
rough and cut up by guos aud dltchos, making thcia
almost mpassable for wagons. Then OF oourse, many
OF tho wagons obliged 10 proceed by ercultogs
routes, accompanied by strong guaris.
