UNION FEELING IN YIRGINIA-INTERESTING
FACTS ABOUT BULL RUN BATTLE.
We have conyersed with very intelligent Virginia
gentlemen, strong Unionis who informed us that he
had pOstve information that for long time before
the close of the battle of Manassas, the
Rebels considered themselves defeated-and only
took courage 10 avoid such a result after they
were re-enforced and informed Of cur uuaccount-
able retreat. They even telegrapled to Richmond
that they defeated, and that the Federal army
would soon appear in full force before that city. One
officer teegraphed his wife and family leave the
city would certainly be taken. The UniOnists of Rich
mond, eated with the intelligence, held themselves in
readiness to Join our troops on their rst approach,
while the Rebels, for the entire night and until the
news Of the victory announced the next morning
making pre- p2rauons 70 leave, ana many actually
were fleeing from the city My informant assured me
that this was q waged tie part Of the South,
chiefly for the purpose Of PeTetuating the power OF
families. The wealthy and those accustomed TO rule,
witnessing the increase and gradual growth in the in
telgence of the poorer class of Whites were fearful
without some movement of this kind their power
would he nfrnged by those over whom they had been
accustomed to exercise it. Their design TO build
up Republic after the old Roman model. Slavery az
foded the excuse and their faith in the power of cot
ton to force England to their aid, emboloened them to
ske the blow. They had gone too far to recede, but
my friend thinks that the action Of the hundreds who
tOok the oath Of allegiance at Hatteras is but reflex
Of the sentiment which governs the masses in all the
seeded States.
