From Burkesville, the Richmond and Danville road extends eighty seven miles to Danville on the boundary of North Carolina, 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.

They remained at Reams's some three hours, and destroyed the water tanks, wood sheds and office. The track was also torn up for a distance of about 150 yards. All the citizens in the vi gladly welcomed. Buggles and carriages were also taken. The rear guard of the enemy was encountered by a portion of Gen. W. H. F. Lee's cavalry before they left Reams's, and a brief fight ensued, which resulted in the killing and capturing of some fifteen or twenty of the gang.

For the past few days the enemy on our extreme left have occupied the residence of Capt J. Alexander Pace, in Prince George county, known as "Green Croft," and opposite to the New Market race course. Here they have been luxuriating on fresh vegetables and ripe fruits, and enjoying themselves hugely.

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. The railroads are the Virginia Central, just broken up by Sheridan, at Trevillian; the Richmond and Petersburg, now cut off by Smith at one end and Butler at the other, and the Richmond and Danville, which is the only one that Davis has left.
