The latter was a very simple affair,where there were plenty offence rails, but, in their absence,involved the severest labor. It was found that a fence oneach side of the road furnished enough rails for corduroy-ing it so as to make it passable. I estimate the amount ofcorduroying at fully one hundred miles for each army corps.This is a moderate estimate, and would make for the
