We continue our eytracts from The Ret moHd
Examiafr, Published on the lth OF July:
IL will be recollected that it stated, with
great precision Of detail that Saturday evening
last we bad brought the enemy 10 bay on the south
side OF the Chick ahomiUy aud that IL only remained
10 finish him in single battle Such, in fact,
appears TO have been The situation then. lne next
however, il was perceived that our sni-
posed resources Of generals'ip had given us to
much condolences that the enemy had managed 10
extrc9te hmsef from the critical portion, nd, hay
ing massed bis forces, had succeeded, under The
cover Of The night, in opening way to the JAMES
River.
Since tris untoward event, the operations Of orr
army On the Richmond eide Of the Cbicsahoniny
have been 20 follow the fpgllve enemy through a
country where he has had admirable opportunities
of concealment, and through the swamps aud iores
Of which he has IetIeaicd with judgment, n
doxterity, and spirit OF fortitude, which, however
unava ling they may be TO rave lls entire conrnhtd

seriously diminished by the grave nlishap or fault
bv which tho enemy was permitted TO leave lis
