The eneny seems to have walked up to renewed &C
tvity in the vicinity of Petersburg aud Richmond, ex.
tending his lines On his left, again to interrupt
our communications by that line. What is the par.
ticular movement we do not know perhaps it is only
in pursuance of MIR. LIECoLNs determination to keep
"peggng away" perhaps it may be designed to
come other movement. At any rate it cuts us of
from our reguIa mails from Richmond and Peters
burg.
The DanviIle Road, having been repaired is again
in full operation, and, we presume so also is the Vr
GINA Central, that this temporary interruption
one line do little nothing towards embarrassing
our troops for want of supplies. The re-opering Of
the Central Road and the relief Of the Valley of Virgin
10 from the presence of the enemy offer an additional
source of supply, and ssens thu pressure upon the
Southern roads and upon the IGore Southern States
also, for provisions.
The idea that the enemy b. digging canal through
Dutch Gap, on the James River, will thus be able to
get round the Confederate distractions below Rich
mond seems to be entertained at the North. This is
mistake They might turn scme batteries at ChaIin's
Bluff on the North side CT the James. but would &C
compish nothing against distractions, do we
see how they could benefit themselves they could
cut their proposed canal

Beyond doubt, much, if not all Of the success or fail
ure of our effort to stay the advance OF SHERMAN
hosts at least to compel their retreat from the soil Of
Georgia. depends upon the events Of the next few weeks
upon the progress made by WHEELER and the other
leaders Of our cavalry in breaking up his communica
tons and otherwise harrassing his rear.
The demands of SHERHAN's army immense and
supplied in many from great distances. It
Is said that beef cattle brought from Chicago and
other things from Ohio, IEdiana AID Illinois. It is
certain that his lines ere ~ery long and very or
saable and much surprise has been felt and expressed
l. cause Of the absence of any vigorous attempt to
harrass them before Perhaps there reasons why
this Perhaps the necessary force was net dis
posah'e for that purpose. We cannot say, ueither do
we think that the oudest disclaimers the subject
better prepared to say than are. At any rate We
are glad that the experiment is at last about to
be tried even though be not tried under FORESTS
auspices.
We do not say that the failure of this cavalry
movement would endanger the safety of HOODS army
or compel the evacuation Of Atlanta, but it certainly
would exert great influence the war; ana deprive
US of all hopes of closing the campaign brilliantly
as we might hope TO do in case Of snccess in pres
