The Richmond Examiner of Yesterday has
an extraordinary leader, the tone of which is
evidently intended to prepare the public mind
OF the South for serious reverses to the Con-
federate arms on the line of the Rannaban-
mock. It commences with the following sio-
ni6cant language:
"The active operations of the chief FEEDER
al army under Hooker are now commenced
and either decisive battle or the retreat Of
Lee must be the speedy consequence. The
latter contingency is possible but not probable,
and another heavy struggle over the line Of
the Rappahannock may be safely anticipated
After specializing upon the supposed plan of
Gen. Hooker, and the struggle and the proba-
bilities of the success of Gen. Lees forces, the
editor remarks:
eff, however, the Confederate Generals
force is not sufficiently numerous to prevent the
completion Of the maneuver, it is obvious that
no course but to fall back on some pointsnear-
or Richmond, and give the enemy battle at
greater distance from 6is base
