to our well being. To such as feel a sinking of spirits at our late misfortunes, I would say-- "All's for the best — be a man and confiding, Providence tenderly governs the rest, And the frail bark of his creature is guiding, Wisely and warily, all for the best. All's for the best — then fling away terrors, Meet all your fears and your foes in the van, And in the midst of your dangers or errors, Trust like a child whilst you strive like a man." A rumor reached us to-day that Burnside intended making Newbern and Washington his next points of attack. I don't know how true it is, but I do know that when he attacks Newbern he'll meet a resistance he little dreams of.

The Daily Dispatch: February 28, 1862., [Electronic resource], Another pressure on McClellan (search)
Another pressure on McClellan --By a Washington letter, of February 20th, we learn the following: Washington city is filled with rumors respecting the disposition of the rebels to evacuate Manassas. It is said that the trains are busily in motion sending troops not only down to Richmond, but farther south to a point in North Carolina, where it is supposed General Burnside intends to strike. If this evacuation is taking place it will necessarily be slow work. It is estimated here that with the utmost activity on the part of the rebels they cannot transport their army and stores to Richmond in less than three weeks, and even then much of their bulkiest baggage would necessarily be lost.
