the first brigade, Throughout July
AverelI rode in numerous scouting ex-
petitions toward Richmond His last
exploit was TO cross James river and
ride toward Petersburg on Aug. 8.
In his rides toward Richmond Ayerell
discovered that the Confederate army
under Robert E. Lee had retired from
the vicinity Of Malvern Hill, where 1t
suffered q terrible reverse on July 1.
Lee, as was well known, had so dis
posed his troops as to defend Rich
mond against an advance upon it along
James river. He also kept a force in
observation at Petersburg, south OF the
James. The military importance of
that position in its relation to the de-
Tense of Richmond was as well under

became

Averell crossed the James at Harri-

TO have driven back over seven miles.
destroying its camp and supplies.
It was evident from Averells expert
ence and the attack from Coggins'
Point by Petersburg troops on July 81
that the Confederates were in force
and alert on the south bank Of the
James. All evidence by Confederate
strategists and that deduced from Gen
eral Lees cautious movements during
the month that McClellan's army lay
at Harrison's Landing tend to prove
that Richmond was in danger OF at
tack and capture so long as Federal
army was encamped on James river.
General A. z. Burnside had withdrawn
a corps OF Federal troops from North
Carolina This force remained on ship
board ready for any emergency. Burn
side in person went to Harrison's Land.
ing.
AS before stated, Mcclellan favored
a second attempt on Richmond. He
differed with his superior, Halleck. as
TO the strength of force required
Burnside and General z. V. Sumner,
one OF McClellan's ablest corps com
manders, inclined to the view that
Burnside and McClelIan's forces be
united on the James and that in con-
nection with the 10000 troops on the
Rappahannock under Pope a grand at
tack be made before the Army Of the
Potomac was removed from within
striking distance Of Richmond. ]. c.
Ropes, one OF the historians OF this
period OF the war, wrote as follows of
the rejection Of the McClcuan-Burn-
! sideSumner plan by the administra-
ton:
General Hallack was ca1led upon to
decide the difficult question of the ad-
visibility Of removing the Army of
the Potomac from the peninsula The
! question was not purely military
