Fredericksburg once in his possession, before th come to its rescue, and then inflict the same fate on the latter, and, pushing the enemy's army before him, seize upon Gordonsville. This plan resembles the one Hooker had adopted for the campaign of Chancellorsville, except that, once in the Wilderness, the Army of the Potomac will face the right and not the left. It presents
