| We understand that the Piedmont Railroad
has been laid, and that the Danville connection is made through this
week. There are so many ways now of reaching Lee's army from the
South, that no mere raid of the enemy can cut communication so far as
to compel Lee to fall back or lead to the abandonment of Virginia by
our troops. |
