"pabIic Judgment, though it may be
s,srtled by this unexpected change in the
stti,uje Of the Confederate army, will soon
; recognize both its Importance and necessity.
With the enemy advancing upon us BY a
system of defences superior % our own, in
a country so thickly wooded as to preclude
military operations in the field, with no ad-
yantages to be gained by merely maintaining
successful defence. and no probability of
being able to whip the enemy from their
works, we had no other recourse than TO drop
quietly back to a point where these Difficult
ties would not be encountered, The effect
upon US will be a general Improvement,
not only Of physical health but military
position. Where the army now IS, ! must
not say, but it is in situation where good
water is abundant, where camping grounds
will not be among swamps aud water courses,
and where battle may be fought clearly aud
where battle may be fought clearly aud
with understanding. The effect upon Hal
leck will be puzzling aud harassins in the
extreme. His plans have received sum-
mary check. He must pursue US or fall dis
gracefully back. and the probability is that
he will be disgraced anyhow, for allowing
Besuregard to Slip 50 gibly through his fin
gers. AS he advances sickness will increase.
obstacles will grow greater at every step,
the expense Of transporting provisions over
