ourt-House, on the enemy's right and rear! This explains, then, said one, why Lee sent him such heavy reenforcements. After his brilliant series of victories oves is evidently the plan, and, if properly executed, will redound to the glory of Lee, who framed it. McClellan, however, is fully aware of this movement, and althoug is contemplated. There is no particle of doubt that it is contemplated, but Lee will not weaken any point of his lines until the decisive moment, for McClellan might attack on a weak side.

He can execute with vigor what Lee or Jackson are well fitted to plan, nothing more. When it was discovered that McClellan had again retired, and was in full retreat, Lee instantly recommenced the advance, although it rained in floods. But the Federals seemed to have vanished once more in this densely-timbered swamp. The outposts saw no signs of them, and most of the day was lost before it was asc
