by military orders some days ago, has already
attracted considerable public attention. He has
been pretty well known from his active connec-
ton with that political association which through
It's of shoot, the "National Volunteersn con-
9iouted so large a share Of Its membership 10 the
Coniederate forces, reserying, however, at this
point, IL has been believed, such quota as might
better serve "the cause" here than elsewhere IL
was matter Of some little surprise therefore to
those familiar with Hollohan's political ante
cedens that al and about the time Of the battles
Of Bull Run he was passing readily through our
military lines, hand in glove with army officers
riding Government horses, announcing himself
as bearer OF Government dispatches, and hguring,
Figaro-like, prominently amongst the Govern
ment teamsters, who did or did not cause the
great stampede. Thus Ii was that the expana-
with Government credentials was looked for with
some interest as likely 10 be developed at the ex-
animation. This examination commenced at
