Several clerks at the Treasury Department
at Washington are engaged in search for
historical precedents on the question of the
right of the Governm ment to reopen particular
ports during the period of blockade of its

here as an indication of the probable inteu-
tions of the Government in reference to the

turn our left flank, and to reach. the railroad
leading hence ia the direction of Winchester.
To do this, be extended his lines, which he
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for us, as ii re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
Hanklng us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line of battle, which finally extend
ed over 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 coGnteract 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 to envelope US within its
mighty folds and crush us TO death; and at
one time it really looked as if he would
succeed.
The moment be discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard. it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. EFeh, on oar ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham, oe-
cupying the centre OF our lines, to cooperate
in this movement, but not to move until Gen.
Ewell had made the attack. The order to
Gen. Ewell unfortunately mscarried. The
others were delivered, but as the movements
of the centre were to be regulated entirely
by those on the right, nothing was done at
all. Had the orders to Gen. Ewell been re-
ceived and carried out, and our entire force
brought upon the field, we should have de-
stroyed the enemy's army almost literally

= 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 laurels 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 theiday.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from battery planted on hill
beyond Bull 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 heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek, upon our left. At ten O'Clock,
another battery was pushed forward, and
opened fire a short distance to the left OF the
other, and near the road leading North to
Centreville. This was a battery OF rlHed
guns, and the object of its FIRE was the same
as that of the other. They fired promiscu-
ously into the woods and gorges on this, the
Southern, side of Bull Run, seeking to create
the impression thereby that our centre would
be attacked, and thus prevent us from send
ing reinforcements to our left. where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the maneuvre.
1t 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
distant, in North-westerly direction, upon
which our left wing rested Mitchels ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the
