territory of the United States is that of freedom:
That as our republican fathers, when they had
abolished slavery in all our national territory or
dained that emo person should be deprived of life
liberty or property, without due process of law"
it becomes our duty, by legislation, whenever such
legislation is necessary, to maintain this provision
of the Constitution against all attempts to violate
it; and we deny the authority of Congress, of a
Territorial Legislature, or of any Individuals to
give legal existence to slavery in any territory of
the United States.
If the Republican party has been misrepresen-
ted it has misrepresented itself by protesting
thing and believing another. If there was any
conservatism in the Republican party he would be
glad to know it. If this crust of Abolitionism
which surrounds its organization contains any
Union and conservative element within it, let it
burst forth and manifest itself in favor of the
preservation of the Union. Thousands, he be-
lieved, had taken part with seetionalism innocent
of any thought of the danger involved. The
constitutional provision requiring the fugitive to
be given up had been trampled under foot. That
constitutional bond ought to be observed to the
letter. Since the Inauguration Of the sectional
policy it had gone forth as the leading idea of
that party that slavery should be limited to its
present bornds-that il should be surrounded by
Gordon of free States, until it should fall by its
own weight. No compromise of existing difficult
ties is possible without an abandonment of that
proposition. The Southern States could not, in
safety to themselves, admit the principle, although
they might not be effected this year or next, or in
ten years, yet the time would come when human
ity itself would demand an outlet.
The hope for the perpetuity of the Union stood
only in better guarantee that this constitutional
bond shall be carried out, and in the assurance of
the equality of rights of tbs States in the common
Territories. There was nothing to be expected
from the adherents of the Chicago platform. He

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 Cen
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 Is ,006, while the enemy
himself was advancing upon our left with a
compact column of at least 80, 900. 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 cur centre lay. At quarter past
u, Johnston and Beauregard galloped rapid
ly forward in the direction of Stone Bridge,
where TIE ball had now fully opened.

EOn 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 halfpast six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted on hill
beyond Bull Run, ard nearly opposite the
centre of our lines. The battery was intend
ed merely TO ''beat the BUSH" and to occupy
cur attention. while he moved heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek. upon our left. At ten O'Clock,
another battery WIS pushed forward, and
opened fire short distance q the iels u ths

guns, and the object Of its fire was the same
as that of fhe other. They fred pF0nfisea-
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 maneuvTe.
It might not be amiss to say that Bull Run
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, curving around the june
ton, the nearest part or which is about 81
miles. The Stone Bridge is some seven miles
distant, in North-westerly direction, upon
which our left wing rested. MitcheFs ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

, 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 acci-
dent on the railroad. They dashed on the
charge with loud shouts and in the most gal
liant style. About the same time, Maj. ElZey

FIRE Meanwhile, Beauregard rallied the cen
tre 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
led the final charge, that his horse was killed
by a she'll.

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 corresponding extension of our own
lines TO prevent his extreme right from out
thanking 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 contiu-
ued to stretch away to the left, like a huge
anaconda, seeking to envelope us within its
mighty folds and crush us TO death; and az
