The Daily Dispatch: October 29, 1863., [Electronic resource], A liberal (search)
ill take in regard to the Army of the Potomac, in view of the pass to which affairs have been brought by the late campaign. Every one in the army here agrees that active operations against Richmond by this line are over for this year. I may say, further, that everybody is persuaded that nothing can ever be done against Richmond by this line. The map is against our ever being able to do anything effective in this way by any such force as we now have. Every General in the army agrees that the south side of the James river is the only line on which to operate directly against Richmond. If, therefore, the Army of the Potomac is for the present to do nothing, we should at once abandon the barren wilderness, fortify the fords of the Potomac, man the defences of Washington thoroughly, and send two or three of our best corps to the decisive theatre of war in the Southwest. When the business there is once well done up, it will be no longer a question either of Richmond or of Virginia.
