in discussing the evacuation OF Richmond.
says:
let not this fatal error be harbo-ed m
Il i takes effect on the Imagination. The
evacuation OF Richmond would be the loss OF
al respect and authority toward the Con
tederate government, the d.sinteg-a.ion ot
the army. and the abandonment Of an irde-
pendent Southern Coufederacy. The With
drawai OF TIE army from Richmond would
so narrow the area OF corscriptiOn Is %
greatly reduce our military strength. As
our army would dwindie IN numbers. =
would move more rapidly westward and
before reaching the Mississippi would have
deSenerated into q mere bOdy-guard OF
few officers From the hour Of giving I'D
the seat Of government our cause would
Sink INTO mere rebellion in the estimation
o. Iorelgn powers, VINO would cease TO &C
coru 10 Is the rights OF bel.gerents. Our
enemies would be free 10 treat our officers
