The Damage to the Richmond and
Danville Railroad.

A few days since, We stated lba, the
damage to the above road could not be
very great, Ms the enemy was no, al.
lowed to remain on it for any length Of
time, aud, therefore, could not have des.
troyed many miles. Our remarks were
based on the supposilion that the road
was laid entirely with T iron, which We
had been informed, by orc who has had
some experience in the matter, is very
difficult to remove. II seems, however,
according to the statement Of an officer Of
the company, which we find in the Dan.
vile Appeal, Of the I'd inst, that on a
portion Of the road tie light strap rail
was, unfortunately, still 10 use, and, AS
the weather was very dry, and the string
pieces and sils were well seasoned, il re
quired very little labor on the part Of the
miscreants to ena1le them to destroy the
track very rapidly ; for whenever thev
found wood or rence rails convenient. il
was only necessary TO scatter them along
the track and Sc, fire TO them. The track
was destroyed in this way, a. various
points, amounting in the aggregate to
about fifteen miles.
We understand, adds the Appeol, that
arrangement have been made to relay
The road with heavy iron, which will be
taken from the Charlotte and StatesviIle
road, in North Carolipa, which will be
great improvement on the old tram rail.
We have heard no estimate Of the loss
sustained by the company, and do no,
consider that Of much importance, when
compared to the great Inconvenience of
being deprived Of the use Of the road for
four or FIVE weeks.

Confenerate Victory-Brilliant
Achievement,

The Richmond Equircr Of the 2d inst.
contains details of cavalry fight near
Sappones Church and Reams' Station,
between Gems. Hampton, Fitz Lee and
Speare, which resulted in the complete
route of the latter, capturing about /, 500
prisoners, including some negroes; we
also captured their wagons, ambulauces,
eleven Napoleon guns, a train of carriages
and buggies, which were stolen from pri
vaie citizens mile in length, together
with clothing, silver ware, &c
1t 10 reported by prisoners that Speare
was wounded in the fight and that Kan,z
is in our possession, disguised as pri.
vate.
Petersburg papers Of the lsi report
that no fighting in front, only the usual
daily bombardment. Ii is thought that
the enemy would open terrific fire on
the city 90 the 4ih Of July. On the 3Oth
the enemy made feeble assaul, on Col.
quit and demonstration in Grace's front.
but were easily repuIsed. No fear are
entertained Of the result when general
engagement takes place. The people O!
Petersburg are hopeful.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the Cd,
contains an interesting statement from
Capt JOS. J. Wagon, OF Richmond, who
fell into the hands of Wilson's raiders
and escaped las, Wednesday. He was
present a. the fight at Slaun,on River,
where the Yankees were defeated. The
Yankees said they expected to take the
bridge without difficulty, but our militia
fought better than any troops they had
ever met. CspL.W. says their loss was
very severe in that fight.
On their way through the country the
Yankees stole all the provisions they
could lay their hands on. What they
could not carry off they destroyed. The
country is swept Of provisions, negroes,
horses and mules, yet many men were
dismounted.
