CIR, ut had bAundered in his stratc'
rv. and had taken . false, ana 10
him a fatal step. FJr upoa that
landing depends the fate OF the
campaign. Grants plan for thS
campaign on the peninsula was
now trlIy developed. 1t was the
plan which General Lee ioped'
but ha "dly dared to believe $50 h,gh
is his respect for Gen. Grant that
the latter would adopt; and it re,
lieved tho former at once from az
anxiety. ButIer's troops might
safely now be left to the care o,
Beauregard; and all that Lee neea
do on this dav was to hold Grants
army in check, and prevent them'
Tor twenty-four hours more, from
again advancing any further
s0uthward. There was no danger
now of Junction between tho
Union troops on the Rapidan, and
those south of the James river.
Gen. Lees Army stands on tho Defensive.
On the 9th, (Friday) therefore,
General Lee gave to his troops the
easier task easier compared with
their efforts of the day before) OIL
simply repelling the attacks made
upon their intrenched lines by tho
Union troops. The immense ex-
tent AMI great strength Of these
intrenchments enabled them to do
this with comparatively little loss
while the Union army again SSt'
ferod severely. Here again, when
tho full accounts come Inv tho
country will be appalled, at the
long list of killed AND wounded lH
fruitoss attempts to force the enc
my from Ills position, for at night
fall Lee held his position nnshaken-
Lees Strategeac NOrcment
That night, however, his prepar'
ations having been made all before
hand, he moved his whole army,
in silence and in perfect order, to
his second defensive line, ON tha
right bank Of the North Ann"
river. There his army is'at present
intren2hed; and there Gen. Grant
will have to advance to fight him.
This is what General Lee intended,
from the first. And here Grants
troubles about his supplies will
begin. lie will be too far FROM
Washington to receive them over
land and to make Acquia creek
lis base viii be open to the same
objection. lie will be forced to.
use the York river, and one OF it's
branches; ard to do THIS with ab-
solute security will require tho
presence of nearly all the guubosts
now in tho James river.
Lees Army pW not Retreat to Richmond
Thus it is evident that so far
from being near its end, the cam
paign against Richmond has just
begun, and that all tho advantage,
thus far, remains with the rebels.
General Lee has succeeded in his
original design of drawing Grants
main army far away from its base,
where it must fight at disadvan-
tage; and of prev' nting its june
ton with the important auxiliary
column Of General Butler. In
conclusion l may add that in no
event will General Lees army re-
tiro within the defenses OF Richl
mond. The defense of that city
was, from the beginning of this
campaign, entrusted to the troops
under General Beauregard. Lee
is believed to have in view q move.
ment in an entirely different direc'
ton.
