The Daily Dispatch: December 4, 1863., [Electronic resource], Meade Recrosses the Rapidan. (search)
e not the smallest doubt that he will be able to restore the discipline of the army, and successfully resist the farther advance of the enemy. Although the news is in general so cheering, there is still a very natural anxiety felt about Gen. Longstreet. It will be observed that one of our telegrams reports a force of 15,000 Yankees on the march from Cleveland to Benton. Benton is about fifteen miles from Cleveland, and lies on the road (not railroad) leading to Knoxville. It is evident, therefore, that Knoxville is the destination of these troops, who are marching on the south side of the river and of the railroad. The same telegram says that Longstreet has been reinforced by Buckner and another division. We have hopes, therefore, that he may be strong enough to meet the Yankees on equal terms.

Longstreet's Virginia divisions and other troops had been sent to East Tennessee. Had these been present with their steady leader at the head of them, we should have won ur defeat has been. As it was we ought to have won the day, and should had done so if our men had done as well as usual. Possibly a mistake was committed when Longstreet was sent away, and possibly it would have been better not to have accepted battle to-day, but have retired last night. Gen. Bragg thought, however, that there
