He realized that his forward position at Manassas, exposed his army to a turning movement by Union forces. With Jefferson Davis' permission, Johnston began to withdraw from the Washington DC vicinity and move southward towards Fredericksburg Virginia. He also removed the blockade of the Potomac River, believing its continuation could not last. As an aside, US President Lincoln had some satisfaction at Johnston's retreat. McClellan moved troops south to take over the vacated Manassas.

What caused Confederate General Johnston to move his troops in northern Virginia closer to Richmond in 1862?
By February of 1862, the Union's general in chief, George B. McClellan had amassed a huge army that endangered Confederate Joseph Johnston's army in northern Virginia. McClellan's Army of the Potomac was estimated to have over 150,000 troops. Johnston's army was only one third of McClellan's. Johnston therefore ordered his forces south and to consolidate on the line of the Rapidan and Rappahannock rivers.
