He replied that it was impracticable, because the enemy had substantially the same line across the neck of land that General Butler had. He then sketched the locality, remarking that the position was like a bottle and that Butler's line of intrenchments across the neck represented the cork; that the enemy had built an equally strong line immediately in front of him across the neck; and it was therefore as if Butler was in a bottle.
