The capture Of Richmond would prove Of
greater importance to our enemies In polit-
ical point Of view than any other sense.
: With our capital in their possession we would
lind additional influence brought to bear
agatnrt rs abroad; but as material l loss - It's
disadvantages which would result from de-
feat Of General Johnston and the occupation
OF Georgia th,t would follow. The frat
point is near our boundary line; the second
is our great center. To lose the one would
be 90 the losp ofn limb; should we be driven
