from our army Tnat this la his nav settled policy
there can be scarcely doubt, and II 10 clearly fo-
shasowed IN the following editorial which we find
In The Philadelphia In7anss, oil Monday last:
"Jea Davis'a means for supplying his army near
Richmond, and Tor swim commune alton with his
s"9teern dominlons, consist Of three railroads and
canal The railroads are the Virginia Central,
inst broken up BY Sheridan, a, TrevilliaF; the
Richmond and Petersburg, naa cut off by Smith
nj one end and Butter at The other and The Rich
mond and Danvie, which Is the only that
Davis has iett This, however, Is a very important
read on account OF his connections. At Burkes-
vile, hty three miles from Richmond, and the
same distance fiom Petersburg, 1t connects with
the l.yBchburg road, furnishing communication
with that place and also with Gordonsyille, al
though by long and incenvenient circuit. From
Batkesviile, the kchmo@d aud Danville road ex
tends eighty seven mics to Danvilia on the bOun
dary OF North Carolina, and hence a short link Of
railroad TO Greensboro, constructed by the rebels
since the beginning af the war, connects II with
the whole system of North Carolina railways.
"ii will thus he seen that the Danville road, al
though II Is Daviss sole means Of connection with
the South aud West, Is at the same time most
eHeciivc lire. Either kautz or Sheridan should
therefore give II his Immediate aud earncs st aiten-
ton Butesviile Is its vital centre. Ii it is TO be
cut that is the point for the operation. Eight or
ten miles Of road destroyed south and west Of the
junction there, will isolate Richmond from Lynch
burg, Gordensvilie, North Carolina, and the whole
Souih.
"rhe James river canal, We believe, Is receiving
the requisite attention."

selves hugely. Yesterday one OF our batteries dc

this purpose most unceremoaousy plunged shell
through the building. An eye witaess informs Us
that bees never poured from IL hive faster and IN
greater numbers Than did the blue coats from this
