During the afternoon the impression prevailed that the enemy were embarking in the vicinity of Aquia creek, the Potomac river being reported as fad of transports. Thursday morning opens in lowering style — a thick, cloudy sky, with spattering rain.

It means business, rapid marching, and a change of base to a more direct defensible line. It means Richmond. Among division and corps commanders the belief prevails that under Burnside there will be no more fruitless drawn battles. When the clash of arms comes again it will bring a crowning victory or an overwhelming defeat. It will be a day big with the fate of the Republic." The Philadelphia Inquirer says the Fredericksburg base is considered the best one for operations upon the heart of Virginia.
