 In Eastern Virginia.
 The situation of affairs in that DOT ton of Eastern Virginia in which Gen. | erals Banks and Mcdowell are operat- ing is not made very clear to the public by the limited amount of information which finds it's way to them through the authorized channels A few days will probably clear it all up.
