Interior Of Richmond


A Massachusetts, man. sho for the
last three years has been . resident Of
Richmond furnishes some Important
facts relative to that city, among them
the following:
Tho defenccs about Richmond are
very good, the CITY being entirely sur-
rounded with li.o OF earth works, and
IN some portions they are double lines !;
but they are not adequately manned !,
but very 'ew guns are mounted. The
number oft'eops IN the city does not
exceed sixteen thousand, which are
entirely inadequate for its detense against
any reasonable force that wenght bring
against it. At no since last summer has
the city been in . condition to resist ~
attack from ten thousand men"
Although the proposition that ten
thousand men could At any time since
last summer take city garri.oned BY
sixteen thousand behind Every good de-
fences" does not appear altogether selt-
evident, yet there can be little doubt,
that Richmond could and would have
been taken long ere tn $, but for the
foolish obstinaoy Of the administration
10 refusing to lie, eny body take Rich
mond BY way oithe peninsula. That
would be an acknowledgement of McCIel-
lao's judgement aud S,an,on's folly,
which . par,izan administration cannot
afford to make Chicago Post.
