allowed in the repair shops connected with this road. Everything is very quiet in Richmond, the principal topic of conversation being the late Northern election. Informant continues to impress upon us the great importance of the capture of Wilmington, as many supplies for the enemy come in through that port. The enemy are putting up another battery on the Nine-Mile road, and continue to extend their works to the left of their line. Scouts who go into Richmond state that the way is still open for troops to be marched around that way; but that the enemy, seeing the weakness of the position, are using every effort to guard against a surprise in that direction and to strengthen the position.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

J. McENTEE
