alton that it is believed here that Burnside viii
very shortly find himself menaced by a strong
force from Lees army via Lynchburg and Bris
toll, Va, and that between the two forces, hi
only safety will be to retreat, and the relin

that can save Burnside. 1t is hoped, if Lee
dares, as he certainly will, to detach any NOR
OF his troops for operations against Burnside o
Thomas, the army of the Potomac will fnC
means to prevent the accomplishment of the re.
suits now feared.
