ng hauled away as fast as they are taken up. The impression also prevails to some extent that the enemy intends to preserve the road intact for his own use, in case of the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond — an event so far in the future that Grant may as well secure a life lease on his position between Reams's station and Davis's farm, and will it to his heirs and assigns. The enemy's position on the railroad has not been materially altered, and as he is closely watched by the experiene been already foreshadowed by hints in the Yankee newspapers.
