THE NEWS.
rRnm THE sourHsIpE.

~ 7 l..
! The Petersburg EfpresS OF yesterday says tina
the enemy has not yet developed his plan of opera
tions ON our right. The heavy and continued rains
of the last two or three days aud nights, have, no
doubt, materially nterfered with his movements,
and will probably, check his advance for several
days. An engagement is, however, imminent, be-
lux only deferred in consequence of the terrible
condition of the roads and the immediate inability
10 use artillery.
Reliable intelligence, however, leads us to believe
that on Friday and Saturday nights the enemy
moved nurlber of pieces of artillery to his left.
The rumbling of these trains could be distinctly
to mention.
The enemy's cavalry, and the main body of his
infantry have been moved towards Hatcher's Run,
and at present. but feeble force conronts our lines
east of To city. Intelligent deSerters report that
the entire Yankee lines between the Weldon Road
and the AppomattOx river, are now defended by one
eorps alonc-the Ninth. we are incliRod TO be.
leve this statement, intelligence through other
sources convinces as that every man that can be
spared from these lines has been moved to our
right. We but await the clearing no OF the wealth
or, aud some improvement in the condition OF the
roads, to hear that the enemy has commenced a
heavy move ment against onr extreme right.
During the progress OF the lire IA this city on Sat
urday afternoon, The enemy threw several shells
into town. This elected response from our bat
teries. which drew of the Yankee fire. For the
space vi two hours fierce duel was thus kept up.
As far as We could learn there were no casualties
