POINTS OF INTEREST.
Vsrisns rumoFs were in circulation yesterday
\ relative to = demonstration against Lynehbur1
and some eroskers were quite positive in their
. assertions that the place had been captured
Crook and Avsrill were reported at Lovington,
on the LynehbuTg branch Of the Orange and
Alexandra railroad, and about midway bstWeeu
LynehbuEg and Charlottesville. Another ru-
NOR was that they had burnt an important bridge
; on that route, thus cutting of communication.
} The only reliable intelligence we have is that
the enemy in heavy force, with cavalry, infant
", and artillery, are advancing upon Lynch
burg from the direction Of Lexington, and at
: last accounts had reached = point in Amherst
county, Ome eight or nins miles distant from
7 the town.
In order to enter Lynehburg they will have to
8 cross the river, which, unless they are supplied
{ with pontooHs, may be q matter Of some diff.
: Guilty. Measures have been taken TO resist the
capture Of the place, which we hepe viii prove
4 successful
