Waehington talked of retreating in th?

U w poaaiblo. Bm th? probability is that.
as in other ?a11...,_,_ thft tud ef orr
resinar ?> ir-trt, would have beeu the vir?
tual en I of the ?truggla. How much mere
must this bar? beea the cas? iu our recent
war, when ail -ur> armament? had already

All this .was true from IMI to leva. At
no time dnring that period did tber* e*1?*
? f Richmond foundries and reih ???*
niUls eapr.ble in a year's work off supply?
ing the ?'?infederate armies and railwsv*
tor thre- months. In the first part of the
?nek?afl of such ?establishment?
could not be found elsewhere m the Soutn.
In the Utter part beginnings had bee?
but the n? w ? r? ?iucti?ii ef cannon
and railway material never (vn-eme ade
' ? demands of a campaign. 1*
weite ma? hinerv could have been

been hastily inercas?d because of the ah

'?? tne skilled artisans of Uichmond w*uM
hnv? be.?n as fatal in our poverty as the
loas tif its mills and workshops.
The defence <*f Richmond, then, was the
.man ta-k to which Lee now found
.' ctrmmttted by the no'.irv ?if the
Confederate ?i.>v-rnm?nt and by the pres?
