was practically the same distance.
Given early information Of the Fed
eral movement. Lee could reach the ford
, as soon as Meade, and he would have
the advantages OF positions easily de-
tended, on the south side OF the river.
If Fredericksburg was gained, the
problem of keeping open the line of sup
ply, with broad river I'm the army's
rear, twould be a difficult one.
These considerations must have weigh
ed with Lincoln, although history is
silent as to the points on which he
decided to put his veto on Gen. Meade
plan. He could not have spent much
time IN making up his mind, for at
10 a. m. his reply was written, by Gen.
Halleck, who stated that the President
does not see that the proposed change
Of base is likely to produce any favor
able results, while its disadvantages are
manifest" Gen. Halleck added that he
concurred in these views and author
ICED any tactical movement against
Lees position; but "an entire change
of base he could neither advise nor
approve"
Gen. Meade thus expressed in a letter
to his wife his disappointment on re-
ceiving this reply: 81 have clearly in
dicated what 1 thought feasible and
practical and my plan Is disapproved, 1
think under these circumstances Justice
to me and the true interests of the
country justify their selecting some one
else to command"
Gen. Meade was destined to remain IN
the command, and within a week tn
force the passage of the Rappahannock

admiration even of his enemies and the
nigh commendation of President sIIn-
coin. This victory committed him 10 Va

Thus the two armies were to end the

development of the campaign. each be-
came wary Of the other. Lee, taking a
strong position. devoted himself to hold
ing his army together until Meade's in
tentions were learned, while Meade
studied the problem Of how to gain an
advantage over his able opponent. The
people of the North were clamoring for
action. The character of the recent
maneuvers Of the two armies were not
understood by the public. Meade's ret
rograde movements had looked like a
retreat. He seemed to be avoiding bat
tie.
Gen. Meade felt keenly the censufe of
the public. His various predecessors in
the command had felt it in the same
way. Serving a republic, in which every
voter constitutes himself Judge Of mill
tary movements, had proved a rock on
which many Federal commanders had
split. Lincoln and ihs advisers, always
with finger on the pulse OF the people,
gave expression to the publics sentI-
ments. Gen. Meade had felt throughout
the recent movements that these senti-
ments were not friendly to him.
There is no doubt my failure to en-
gage Lee In battle during the recent ad-
vance created great disappointment" he
wrote his wife, ''in which feeling fully
shared"
He told his wife General-in-Chief Hal
leck had written him he had better
fight than run away" but that he did not
explain how 1 could fight to advantage"
The feeling that the people and the ad-
ministration were dissatisfied with him
spurred Meade TO canvass every possible
method Of gaining an advantage over
Lee. The result of his deliberations are
clearly set forth in his communication to
the government Of fifty years ago today.
Lee, he stated. was reported to be re-
ceiving re-enforcements, and certain
movements Of his pickets indicated that
he might be preparing to advance. From

That opportunity was on October IA,
when the Federal rear guard was at
lacked at Bristoe Station. Had Meade
been correctly informed of the position
OF Lees troops, he might have turned
back his army, and the fight at Bristoe
might have developed into a great battle.
HIS information indicated that Lee was
marching on Centreville and was farther
advanced than he actually was. Hence.
Meade had fallen back on Centreville
without knowing that he had lost what he
most desired-an opportunity to bring on
a battle on ground that would give him
as good chance Of victory as his OPP
ponent.
Thence on, the situation had developed

The situation that led Gen. Meade TO

Rappahannock to the vicinity of Manassas
and back. which began October g.
Lee had attempted to get in the rear
Of Meades army and force him to battle.
Meade by celebrity of movement had de-
feated this object. and though wishing
battle, had not offered it until he reached
Centrevine, where Lee thought him too
strong to attack
Lee had then retreated. followed by |
Meade, and had recrossed the Kappa

at Warrenton until he could repair the |
'rniIroad back to Manassas, which Lee had !
destroyed.
Neither Meade nor Lee was satisfied |
with the outcome Of this camraign. |
Meade in a private letter, characterized |
il as "a deep game on the part of Lee |
adding. 81 am free to admit that in the |
playing of 1t he has got the advantage of |

The Federal general was referring 10 |

mastery, as had been his advance; for |
as ne marched back toward the Kappa |
