In the mere matter of the territorial march the Peninsula line is undoubtedly the shorter; but this route has the counterbalancing disadvantages which always attach to military operations dependent on a water line for a connection with the base of supplies. We take it that the question of an advance to Richmond is one which will be decided purely by military contingencies. If Lee ventures on the further subtraction of
