During the twenty days npon which he could have surely counted, his army could have marched four hundred miles, or from his position at Orange Court House to Washington, back to Richmond, then to Washington, and back to Orange Court House again. In all human probability he would have put into operation his long contemplated game of "swapping queens, " and when Grant had left Washington with his army, would have over whelmed the covering force of 30, 000 or 40, 000 men, and made a detachment to ...take possession of the National Capitol, while he moved with the bulk of his force upon Baltimore and Philadelphia ; or, better still, while he marched to Rich mond or Petersburg; or wherever else it might be necessary in order to meet the expeditionary force threatening him.
