ly be applied to an army investing a city and planted on or interrupting its communications. Now, we neither invest Petersburg-nor are we planted on, nor have we interrupted its communications. With reference to the question of the repair of the rebel roads I have recently learned a fact, the truth of which is undoubted, and which accounts for the facility and rapidity with which the enemy has lately been able to make good all the damage we have done on their railroad communications.--Gen Lee has, in conjunction with several English railroad engineers, organized a corps of railroad construction, which has this matter in hand.--Large supplies of new railroad iron have been received from abroad and placed at convenient points, and duplicates of all important bridges are also on hand.

Gentry, a mulatto fellow, who says he is a slave, was charged with giving information to the enemy and making his escape from Castle Thunder, at which place he was a prisoner. Gentry disclaims any disloyalty to the South, and says that while recently a prisoner among the Yankees he frequently declined all overtures of freedom. When first arrested and committed to the Castle, he was endeavoring to make his way into General Lee's lines to be returned to his owner.
