The Escape From Manassas,

they did escape, without the knowledge Of
our Commanders is not considered crcdita.
ble either to their enterprise or gcneralship.
1t is as unmiStakably the duty Of leader
TO know what the enemy is doing behind
bis entrenchments, as it is 10 prepare FOR
his discontinue in the field. -.r. ...
To obtain this knowledge rc9nires great
secresy, skill and courage. But oil
these are available. In no army were they
ever more abundant than in our own.--
Scores of young men covet the distinction
which daring secret service secures; and
there is no peril which they would not
undergo at the bidding of their chiefs -
This has been proven on the Potomac as
elsewhere. That it was not demonstrated
at Manassas is a source Of the profoundest
regret.
With the knowledge which should have
been secured, the enemy, il not bagged,
could have had his PAGES so quickened by
an approaching army, as to have at least
prevented him from leisurely carrying of
with him whatever was deemed of value
But being wholly in the dark in regard tc
his plans, the Federal army was Obliged to
! feel its way as cautious as II treading upon
volcano; and while approaching Man
assas by slow stages, hoping for at least a
show resistance, the enemy was qnctly
biVouaciug in his midway journey to Rich
mond
1t would be folly to deny that the people
are disappointed at this escape from Man
assns. After such long waiting, it wns
confidently hoped that at least some portion
of the game would hare been bagged-
That it has not been, seems less the result
of their cowardce than Of oar folly.
There would be some compensation for
this disappointment, if it could be believed
that the evacuation of Manassas was the
result Of a conviction that further resist
ance would be hopless. But we don't be-
lieve the Rebels have reached that point
We fear that a new position was selected
from choice, and not merely on compuSion;
and that the next advance of our army
will he far more expensive than the first
would have been if the needed measures had
been taken to compel fght or a surren.
