at Manassas.
/ The Secession papers are Of course boasting
OF the rebels success ut Manassas, and, tell in,
credible stories Of the valor displayed by each
and every one Of the Southern host. Still they
cannot conceal their affection at their large
/ losses. The Savannah Republican says:
| Our city yesterday was ngoniSed by con-
flicting emotions-joy for the triumph of our
arms. and anguish for the terrible cost Of the
victory. The fall of noble, chivalrous Bar
tow, carried a pang Of sorrow to every heart,
while numerous households wero plunged in
sorrow for dear departed ones, or agonized
with suspense and fear lest they too have
lost son or brother. But part Of the ba:-
tie field has been exposed 10 view as we write
and even that little brings mourning TO thou
sand hearts
The Charleston Courier makes tho following
significant remarks:
Our joy at this signal work Of the Divine
favor is tempered by The heavy loss We have
sustained in the death of those who had taken
the frst step in career of glorious usefulness.
We bewaiI the death Of several noble spirits /
And other names may be added to the gloomy !

mention Of them can be accompanied with
filling tribute TO their virtues AMI valur We
would rather at this time rejoice and give !
thanks that more Of our gallant sons have not
fallen upon that bloody field Ii Is these strokes
that forbid the exutatou in which the impor-
lance aud splendor of the yietory prompt as
to indulge.

homes have tb shadow Of deatk round about;
and the voice Of weeping, the wall Of widow
hood, the sharp cry Of ori,hanate, are in our
land. We have bought our victory dearly,

But stricken ones dly up your tears-ye are
your coqnirYs children, and in your grief the
strong sympathy of people is with your ALL

While We drop a tear for the noble, the man
