the rebels can mean, leaving such position
as they held at Corinth, where they had
over eight miles ofstrongly built earthworks

swamp, filled with heavy timber and under
brush, which they had felled in such c6ndi-
ton that it would have been impossible for
an enemy to approach, without first clearing
out roads and building bridges and making
corduroy roads through the swamp; all Of
which would have to be done under the
point-blank range of their guns and yet
they left it, and left it, too, after they had
so often avowed their determination never
