hat if General J. E. Johnston's force is kept engaged by Major-General Patterson, and Major-General Butler occupies the force now in his vicinity (Fortress Monroe), I think they will not be able to bring up more than ten thousand men.
Against such an array he proposed to move with a force of thirty thousand of all arms, and a reserve of ten thousand.
The project was elaborately discussed, and finally agreed upon, at a council of war at the Executive Mansion, on June 29th, in which President Lincoln, his Cabinet, and the principal military officers took part.
As already mentioned, General Scott was opposed to the undertaking; but, after it was once resolved upon, he joined with hearty good — will in every effort to make it a success.
McDowell was emphatic in his protest that he could not hope to beat the combined armies of Johnston and Beauregard; uponwhich Scott gave him the distinct assurance: If Johnston joins Beauregard, he shall have Patterson on his heels.
