A late Richmond Examiner publishes an
article ,denounciDg the comuanding Gem
eral for the suppression of facts relative to
the late battles. Il says il public expecta.
tions are to be reduced, We believe our peo-
pie can bear disappointment without watt
ing for the facts to drip out through the
slow force of confessions of those in high
authority. II Mcclellan has effected com.
munication with James river, why not boldly
state the fact what may be the strength of
the federal army; whether that remnant is
vet involved by our lines, or has escaped
our grasp and been reinforced, are ques-
tiops which Government plainly refuses to
answer.
OF the strait to which the rebels are re-
duced the Examiner says: From the gene.
rally understood situation, it appears to ad.
NIT only Of the severe alternative of an i'm
mediate assault upon the enemy, or OF
falling back to our lines. 1t also says it il
to be hoped that the ability of our Gen
erals and the courage Of the southern ar
mics will soon relieve this portion of OUT
State from the presence of the Federal ar
my. In them, under heaven, is our only
hope. 81
