The Express is Of the opinion that Grant
intends q permanent occupation of the

fact that he has thrown a heavy force in
that direction, and has constructed strong

been inleriered with at all, that the iron
has been used To construct a read TO con-
meet wirh the City Point road On the
other hand, The Express sass others are Of
the opinion that the enemy intends to pre-
serve the road intact Tor his own use, in
case Of all evacuation 81 Petersburg and
Richmond, which he no doubt blinaly hopes
for.
