One of the important objects of éhe movement was the Gestraction of the Petersburg ead Richmond Railroad, ope of the main trunk lines of communication between Richmond and tbe sontnern portion ef the so-called con. federacy. The other line is that from Richmond to Dan- ville on the southern boundary of Virginia, from whence B® soad, long projected, was to connect it mith one of the Norah Caroliva roads, leading through the deart of the AMiaatic seaboard States.
