If this pontoon train is the one mentioned above, thero can be but one explanation of the movement. General Lee designs this corps tocross the Potomac at Budd's Ferry, which ts only fifteen miles below Washing- ton, and to advance on the capital by the way of Bladens- ‘durg. It is possible also that General Lee expects the Union forces now on the peninsula to be sent up the Poto- mac to Washington, and that he will seek to re-establish the old batteries on the Potomac, in order to sink the transport vessels that may be conveying the troops from the peninsula, The rebel infantry which defeated General Milroy at Winchester, Colonel McReynolds at Berryville, and Gene- ral Tvier at Martinsburg, did not cross the Potomac at all.

If this should prove to be true, doubt will no longer exist as to the direction which his plans will take, From Coon’s Ford to Rockville, and from Rockville to the Baltimore Rajlroad, will be but a short march. This railroad once cut, whether by this column or by the one advancing from Budd's Ferry, or by both co-operating, Washington will be as completely isolated from the North and Fast as At is now from the West.
