By reference to Llotd's map of Virginia It will be aeen that the poiltloa of Bbbxidab on the Dan-Title road, and of Grabt's left wing; below him, near Bnrluvlllo Junction, renders It utterly Impossible for Johkitob and Ln to nnlte their forces, and lnanrea the de traction of both their armlet, If Indeed Lee baa i anything left deserving the name of an amy.

According to the offlclal dlipatch on tTuosday night Lib wai at Amelia Court- Ho, and Bouidih waa on tho Danville railroad, southwest of Mm, praying for Mxisi to come np, which, If done In time, would enable them to capture Lxa's force, or scatter It to the wlndt. On line SUII farther south, yesterday, General Okast was mortng with the left wing of Ills army, and expected to roach BnrktTlHo but night. TJili Is a grand objective points With this In our posies-sloopaJonxsTOB- Is left at the mercy of Bnauua, while Lis can only at best escape serosa a rocky and bill country with the remnants his army to Lynch burg. Bat he could not exlilln Lynchburg with the Danville railroad In our poi sesslonj especially as Ulncocx Is moving down upon It from tho Valley, and Tiiouas coming In npon It from East Tennessee, It would seem that Lxa knows of no place of ssfety anywhere. In the lata Confederacy, for he leeves Mrs.

KRIOUa ACCIDENT TO SECIIIC TAHY SBWAUO. We are deeply pained to learn that Secre tary Bxwabd met with a lever accident yesterday afternoon, which muit prevent him from leaving his home for some time to come.

The horse ran around a corner, swinging the driver by the reins as one would swing a cat by the tall. They went on madly, and Mr.

Bxwabd, before they bad got to the top of their speed, Jumped from the carriage, thinking he could maintain bis footing, and with a vague notion, perhaps, that he could get hold of the reins lie fell violently to the ground upon bis right lido, breaking his arm close to the shoulder Joint, bruiting his nose, cheek, and Jsw In a terribly pslnfal winner, lie Was at first Insensible, but on being tsken home It was found that ho bad sulToroJ no Internal Injuries.
