attle, so as to impede Sherman's progress over the Dan and Staunton rivers, will materially aid his chief in this movement; and that is, probably, the intention. The entire route is now valueless to Lee. He cannot obtain from any State south of Virginia one pound of provisions for his army, and is compelled to fall back upon his magazines in Virginia for support during the continuance of the war. He has already commenced the transfer of valuable material to Lynchburg, and, doubtless, has made that place of sufficient strength to enable it to be held for a length of time. At Lynchburg, he would be far in the interior of Virginia, seventy-one miles from Burkesville, upon the great line of the Virginia and Tennessee road, and in a position out of which he could not readily be flanked. By falling back upon this point, he would lose Richmond and Petersburg, it is true, but he would save his army, and this is of more value to him than a constantly-menaced capital and depot of supplies.

His column, which is already in motion, consists of not less than twenty thousand men,--the latest advices state, seventeen thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry,--the greater part of which are at Bull's gap, ten miles east of Morristown and eighteen miles below Greenville. He is advancing leisurely towards Bristol, rebuilding, as he advances, the East Tennessee railroad.--His objective point is believed to be Lynchburg.
