road leading to Centreville, which is seven
miles from the Junction. On our right is
Union Mills, on the same stream, where the
Alexandria and Manassas railroad crosses the
Run, and distant four miles. Proceeding
from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to
Stone Bridge, the enemy passed IL front OF
our entire line, but at a distance ranging
from 1--WE to two miles.
At 9 O'Clock our left under Brigadier Gen
erals Evans, jackson and Cooke, and Col.
Barlow, with the Georgia Brigade. composed
of the 9Th and Sth regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about Is 600, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with
compact column of at least 10000. These
approaching columns encountered each other
at IL o'clock.
Meanwhile the two batteries in front kept
mp their fire upon the wooded hills where they
supposed our centre lay. At u quarter past
u, Johnston and Beauregard gallOped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.

knew the enemy were giving way; and when
it moved to the left we knew that our friends
were receding. Twice the pyramids moved
to the right, and as often returned. At last,
about O'Clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thu it continued to move for two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking to

turn our left flank, and TO reach the railroad
leading hence in the direction of Winchester.
To do this, he extended his lines, which he
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for us, as it re-
quired a corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
Hawking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force Of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over a space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments as the further the enemy extended his
right. the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to cOunteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours. during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemy's column contin-
ued to stretch away to the left, like huge
anaconda, seeking 10 envelope US within its
mighty folds and crush us to death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed.

=On Sunday. the 21st day of Jnly, 1861,
this great battle was fought, and great vic
tory won by the Confederate troops. Heaven
smiled on our arms, and the God OF battles
crowned our banners with laureis of glory.
Gen. Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force he had de-
tailed from Winchester. and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimOusly in
sisted, however, that Gen. Beauregard's pre-
vious plan should be carried out, and he was
guided entirely By the judgment and superior
local knowledge of the latter. While, there
fore. Gen. Johnston was nOminally in COM
mand. Beauregard was really the officer and
hero of the; day.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on hill
beyond Ball Run, and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines. The battery was intend
ed merely to beat the bush," and TO occupy
Our attention, while he moved a heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek upon our left. At ten O'Clock,
another battery was pushed forward, and
npaned fire a short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North ~
CentreViiIe. This was a battery al. riHed

the impression thereby that our ceLtre would
be attacked, and thus prevent Us from send

attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the manGuvre.
L might not be amiss to say that Bull Run
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, curving around the juno
ton, the nearest part OF which is about 81
miles. The Stone Bridge is some seven miles

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewel.-
II was late. however before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. E. K. Smith, OF Florida for
merly of the United S ates Army, and was
part of Gen. Johnston's column from Win
chester They should have reached here the
day before, but were prevented by AN accl-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gal

firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
