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 bis great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US. as il 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 % battle, which finally extend
ed over a space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
meuts, as the further the enemy extended his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forcrs had to travel to counteraet 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 enemys column coutin-
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 hattie. Gen. Be2nregard, il Is said, .5is
patched orders to Gen. Egell, on our ex
treme right. to move forward and turn his
left or rear. At the same time he ordered
Generals Jones. Longstreet and Bnohsm .0e-
cupying the centre of our lines, to cooperate
in this movement, bat not to move until Gen.
Eweli had made the attack. The order toS
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. |

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 laGrels of glory.
Gen Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force be had de-
tailed from Winchester. and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimonsly in
sisted, however, that Gen. Beauregard's pre-
yiOus 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 vas really the officer and
hero of the day.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from battery planted on a hill
beyond Bull Run. and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines. The battery was intend
ed merely TO "beat the BUSH" and 10 occupy
sour 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 short distance to the iett OF the
other, and near the road leading North to
CentreVille. This was battery of riHed
guns snd the object of itz fra Gas the same
as that OF the other. They fired prOmlscu-
Ously into the woods and goTges on this, the
Southern, side of Bull Run, seeking to create
the impression thereby that our cehtre would
be attacked, aud thus prevent US from send
ing reniorcements to our left. where the real
attack was TO be made. Beanregard was not
deceived by the maBeuvre.
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 NorthwesterIy direction, upon
which cur left wing rested. Mitchel's ford is
directly North, and distant four miles, by the

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and ali 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
we're intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
It was iase. however, before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the lidd 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
formerly of the Augusta Arsenal) al)-coIning
down the railroad from Winchester with the
iast of gohnson's brigades, and hearing the
firing, Immediately quit the train and struck
across The country, aud, as gracious for
tune would have it, he encountered the ex-
tTeme right of the enemy as he was feeling
hss @ay around our flank. and with his brig

boys, with shout chat seemed to shake the
very earth. The result of this movement
from tlree distinct points, was to force lack
the e6emy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pnrsait. 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 Sas when Gen. Beauregard
led the final charge, that his horse was killed
