the necessity Of needing the recommendations Of the

paramount TO every other consideration. Men cannot
be s1pested TO continue in the field and perform the
hard duties Of soldier without necessary supplies and

the post of duty and danger they nov octlpy, cur

bAhdmsnt or removal Of our army from he soil Of
Virginia involves It's occupancy BY the armed mereen

Of the repeated efforts to take Richmond the great
point in the Yankee programme has been to open the
Mississippi river to the Northwest It has failed Had
it succeeded far even, 10 take Port Hudson and
Yieksburg the idea proposed would stin have failed

the Northwest wants is trade. They market for
their corn and bacon and IS clear they will not get
