army, all these rebel efforts to strengthen their
forces to meet the shock of battle soon to come
off, if the advance be not altogether abandoned,
would have been too late, for by to-day an en-
gagement that would have placed the throat of
Richmond in our grasp, would probably have
been fought and won.
