The negroes and remaining white man, were taken to

7. BEAUREGARD,
General Commanding,

There are many who doubt whether McCleIian's
demonstration by the Peninsula is eint or earnest,
and others who conjecture that be intends to up
on US both from that and another direction. Having
no means of solving this somewhat interesting probem
must be content to leave its solution to Generals
who, we take it for granted, on the qua Uive and
prepared to meet any exigency that may occur. We
are dealing with any enemy thoroughly versed in all
the arts OF dissmulation, but have all confidence
in the tried sagacity and experience of military
leaders. Results OF incalculabe importance to our
selves and our posterty depend upon the issue, and
prudence consummate their courage is what the
country expects Of it's Generals.
