This letter was written a month be-
fore the FIRST battle; and Lee occupied
himself during the interval in concen-

The capture OF Richmond will prove
Of greater Importance to our enemy in
q political point Of view than in any
other sense. With our capital IN their
possession, we would find additional In
fiuence brought to bear upon as abroad;
but as a material loss, its fall would in
no manner compare with the disadyan-
tsges which would result from defeat
of General Johnston and the occupa-
ton Of Georgia that would follow The
first point is near our boundary lines;
the second Is our great center TO lose
the one would be as the loss of q limb;
should we be driven from the other it
will be terrible blow at our most vi
tai point. This we must admit, and
our enemy knows it.
But how is il now? What viii be the
effect of loss Of Richmond, the des-
truction of Lees army, the defeat of
Johnston, and a move into the heart Of
Georgia? We would like to learn the
opinion Of our rebel contemporary on
the subject, Just now.
