G.W. Smith held a conference on grand strategy at Centreville, Va. early in the month.
The main topic was the future of the army in Virginia and what it should or should not do.
Recognizing the cry of the populacce for an offensive. it was finally decided that the

and would have to await Union attack and the distant spring.
