GEN DI1-A FIRE IN The REAR.
As Gen. Lee has outgsnsralled Gen. Hook
or, rnoved his ensi1c arm7 northward, and ir
all probability select: d Harrisburg ard othe,
ci.ies in Pennsylvania as marks to attack, II
b-tor7cs us to l,ok to the rear Of the enemy
aud 10. crly erdosvo- to cut eff a retreat
but capture the reb d capital with its immonse
.ytiaosiicns. II is we'll known fact thai
every arailsbls man has baen Impressed iato
tire Tebsl service to ST. engthen Lees columns
Heres Richmond is fer the present, almost
vitbcut = garrison.
This, then, is the suspicious moment fos
Gen. Dix to mska sp advance With hs troops,
Tn distance from West Point to The robel
capital is thirty. Hyo miles, and the only force
that might oppose his advance, 10 thu ragged
brig ofaen,y a. Wise. The troops gar
tison,ng Yorktown aye sufficient to take
Richmond to day. ~.
