The rear guard of the enemy was encountered by a portion of Gen. W. H. F.

That this is his now settled policy there can be scarcely a doubt, and it is clearly foreshadowed in the following editorial which we find in the Philadelphia Inquirer, of Monday last: "Jeff Davis's means for supplying his army near Richmond, and for swift communication with his Southern dominions, consist of three railroads and a canal.

This, however, is a very important road on account of his connections. At Burkesville, fifty-three miles from Richmond, and the same distance from Petersburg, it connects with the Lynchburg road, furnishing communication with that place and also with Gordonsville, although by a long and inconvenient circuit. From Burkesville, the Richmond and Danville road extends eighty seven miles to Danville on the

Alexander Pace, in Prince George county, known as "Green Croft," and opposite to the New Market race course.

This, however, is a very important road on account of his connections. At Burkesville, fifty-three miles from Richmond, and the same distance from Petersburg, it connects with the Lynchburg road, furnishing communication with that plaarolina, and hence a short link of railroad to Greensboro', constructed by the rebels since the beginning of the war, connects it with the whole system of North Carolina railways. "It will thus be seen that the Danville road, although it is Davis's sole means of connection with the South and West, is at the same time a most effective line. Fither Kautz or Sheridan should therefore give it his immediate and earnest attention. Burkesville is its vital centre. If it is to be cut, that is
