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 be 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 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 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
opened fire short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North to
CeutreEille. This was a battery of rifad
guns, and the object of it's 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, aud thus prevent US from send
ing reinforcements to our LETT, where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the manBuvre.
Ii 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. Mitchel's ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

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 in front of
our entire line, but at distance ranging
from five 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 7th and 8th regiments, had been put in
motion. and was advancing upon the enemy
with force of about 15 900, 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
up their fire upon the wooded hills where they
supposed our centre lay. At a quarter past
II, Johnston and Beauregard gallOped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where the ball had now fully opened.
The artillery were the first to open fire, pre-
cisely at ii O'Clock. By half-past IL, the in
fantry had engaged and there it was that the
battle began to rage. The dusky columns
which had th1s far marked the approach of
the two armies, now mingled with great
clouds of smoke, as it rose from the flashing
guns below, aud the two shot up together
like huge pyramid of red and blue. The
shock was as tremendous as were the odds
between the two forces. With what anxious
hearts was watched that pyramid of smoke
and dust When it moved to the right, we
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 2 o'clock, it began to move slowly to
the left, and thus it continued to move tor two
mortal hours. The enemy was seeking 20

turn our left flank, and to reach the railroad
leading hence ia 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
hanking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line os 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 counteraet the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great deterpination 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 he discovered the enemy's or
der of battle, Gen. Beauregard, it is said, dis
patched orders to Gen. Eweli, on our ex-
treme right, to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones, Longstreet and Bnoham, oc
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 miscarried. 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
Attacked in the front, on the flank and in
the rear, he could not possibly have escaped.

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. Ewell
1t 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 States 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 aeci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gall
liant style. About the same time, Maj. Elzey
(fOrmerly of the Augusta Arsenal looming
down the railroad from Winchester with the
last of JohnsOn's brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across the country, and, as gracious ior-
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
treme right of the enemy as he was feeling
his way around our flank, and with his brig
ade struck him like a thunder-bolt, full in the
face. Finding he was about to be out-hanked
himself. The enemy gave way after the second
fire. Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the CEN
tire and dashed into the very thickest of the
fight, and after him rushed our own brave
boys, with shout that seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from three distinct points, was to force back
the enemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
gions rushed past Centreville in the direction
of Fairfax, as if the earth had been opening
behind them. 1t vas when Gen. Beauregard

THE common belief that much of the uncertainty
of Medical Practice arises from the bad quality of
Medical substances, to acquire daily conhrma
ton. Through faulty preparation and commercial
competition many preparations formerly regarded as OF
primary importance gradually going out of use,
while others produce effects and cause accidents that
do not properly belong to them described in the
Pharmacopea. New remedies, as suggested and offer
ed for trial often found imperfect and varying
much in chemical character and strength that they
either condemned received upon false premises
both equally at variance with the proper progress in
