The Battle of the 2lst.

The loyal and patriotic men Of the Union

The unexpected rcpulse near Manassas on the
2lst, Of the Federal troops has startled the
country, and filed all hearts with feeling
of sadness mingled with determination to
have revenge on the enemies OF the Union
and its peace. The continuous victories OF
Gen. Mcclellan in Western Virginia. the
brilliant and wonderful career of Gen. Lyon
in Missouri, and the daring courage aud able
strategetic skill Of Col. Seigel in the same
State, had well nigh led our over confident
people to anticipate naught else but series
oil uninterrupted victories wherever rebel

Of their lives.
This temporary repulse will quicken the
public pulse and an earnest and determined
cry for revenge will be heard all over the
land. Men and money will he poured out
without stint OF measure for the support OF
the government and the punishment OF the

sacked, every deserted tenement was peered
into, all tie old board piles were tumbled
over, but no tidings of the "missing man"

the better of him, and he resolved to sacri
flee his all-that is, all his credit-in the

those who left but for those who remained
behind and knowing that should his friends
discover his rash intentions they would pro-
baby take measures to prevent it, he stole
away unobserved and went to the river.
He "didn't 60 for sojer," but the heavily
ladened wagons which drew up before his
store on election day explained the cause of
his absence. Barrels, bags, boxes, sacks,
and an endless variety of all the things
which everybody needs, abundantly testi-
fed to the good work in which he had been
engaged. AS it would consume too much

nifty. Mr.. Hall has resided in Junction fer
over two years, engaged in the Drug bust
ness, and from his straightforward and hon
