THE PLANS OF THE REBELS.

why they fetreated from manassas.
As it is subject of general speculation why
he rebel army evacuated Manassas, we give be-
bw an article taken from the Richmond Ea-
enaaet, which may tend to illuminate this rather
lark and mysterious movement. We give il
for what it is worth. 1t is as follows:
The most important movements that ever
occurred on this continent are now going on be-
fore our eyes. The brilliant and astonishing
success of the Virginia, in the waters of Hamp-
ton Roads, opens new chapter in naval war
fare, and marks q new era in the struggle which
the South is engaged in. The grand movement
of the army of the Potomac in withdrawing
from the offensive line on the river of that
name, and assuming defensive one on the line
of the Rappahannock and Rapidan, places q
new complexion on the entire war in Virginia
The policy of this change of position with
reference to the intended attack of the enemy
is obvious. The Potomac was the proper base
for offensive operations against Maryland and
Washington city; but as a line of defense for
ss'fieriI resIsritncv,
most dangerous that could be held The line
upon which the army under Gen. JOS John
ston is now falling back is in the nature of the
arc of q circle, of which Richmond is the CEN
tire. The cncmy is put to the necessity of march
ing a considerable distance inland before engae-
ing our forces If defeated in general engage
mcnt, he can scarcely escape annihilation for
he will then be too far from the Potomac and
from Washington city to reach safety by few
hours flight like that he made after the battle Of
Manassas Ii, on the contrary, he should be
successful in his encounter with our forces, he
could not take advantage of his victory on ac-
count of the delay necessary to bring up his
supplies from the distant Potomac
Whoever will take the trouble to examine
the map Of Virginia will find that our line OF
defense as now adopted, stretches from the Rap
pahannock, by grand circle 10 Cumberland
Gap, in the extreme south western corner of
the State; embracing the Central and the Vir-
@inia and Tennessee railroads, the chief cities
of Virginia, the valley of the James, with its
canal and railroads, within the circumference
1t will be seen, too that this is purely a line Of
defence, assumed now as a necessity, in view
of the great force which we haze, by our sup
inc policy for six months, permitted the enemy
to marshal and put in position without distm-
bance, and at lis leisure and pleasure.
1t is distressing to give up so large u portion
of Virginia even for season, to the domina-
tion of the foe, brit tie measure has become a st,u-
tegic necessity, and is now the surest means of
defeating the grand projects of the enemy, and
insming the success of our cause The sur
prise he will receive from the magnificent naval
occurrences in Hampton Roads, and from the
ludicious movements of our army. which has SO
long been threatening him before Washington,

The Evacuation Of Manassas.

The wisdom of General Mcclellan is at last
made fully apparent, and his humanity no less
than his wisdom. When fanatics and agitators
were crying 'sForward to Richmond" when the
Abolitionists howled and raved for an onward
movement and the foolish and froward joined
in the universal croaking of the Greelyites and
Cheeyerists, Mcclellan told them to wait till
his plans would be matured and all would be
we'll The assurance of success thus given,
though positive, was not generally believed.
But now we see how well the General under
stood his work Manassas, the Gibraltar of
Rebellion, has fallen into our hands without
the loss of q man! McClellan's strategy has
won boodless victory for our arms, more stu
pendous in its effects than any military move
ment or mannuvere recorded in history. What
will Abolitionism say, now, to damage the
prowess of the gallant commander?
