on our right wing of 10000 men, and
during the whole of that Thursday our
little army Of 10000 held their ground
and repulsed that vast horde over and over
again, and held their ground at night.
Well, sir, of course reinforcements were
sent to those brave men, to enable them
to send that dastardly army back into
Richmond the second time. No sir,
they didn't do anything of the kind
At night, instead of reinforcements, they
were ordered to retreat. Well, sir, tlxt
was strategy. The moment we CON-
menced our retreat, it is said in the dis
patches, the enemy followed US like de-
mons. Of course they would. Whoever
heard OF an army retreating that was not
followed, unless they rerc nteiss Our

He believed there was nothing in front.
lie believed that our hour of triumph had
come, His men sprung into line with

the bayonet into and over Richmond
And he never discovered his error till he
saw million and half Of dollars worth
of property burnt before his regiment
Then be began to think it did not wear
the aspect of all advance on Richmond.-
They had been working there and lost
10000 men digging trenches, and spent,
mouths bringing up siege guns. Then
| they left their trenches without firing a
gun. Our array was ordered TO advance
on the gunboats instead OF on Richmond.
This colonel told mo that he fought the
enemy three days and whipped them each
day. and then run every night like ,

vast army was in the fight except the men

The Conduct Of the War
Speech Of Senator Chandler, Of nkiehigan.
In the United states Senate, July I6.
THE BATTLES OF BrLL RuS AND BALL s
HLUFF.

THE BATTLES OF BTLL run AND BALL n
RLUFF.
Mr.. Chandler Repl Of Michigan, re.
fcrred TO thalfact that the Committee on
the Conduct Of the War had been engag
ed in investigation. and had collected a
deal Of evidence. X, ferring to the bat
tie VI Bull Run, he said there was col
umn Of 70, 900 men. under Patterson, or
deFed either 70 attack the enemy or else
keep him engaged. so he could not rein
force ut Manassas. Patterson telegraph
ed that Johnston had superior force, and
had received large reinforeements, when
the fact was tina. Johnston received no re-
Inducements and had less force than Pat
terson. The rkson of the loss Of the
battle of Bah Run was the delay from
Thursday I'LL Sunday, BY reason Of the
Quarsermsstsr's supplies not coming; the
delay Of Sunday morning, in consequence
of Ksyes' brigade not getting in position;
the arrival of Johnston reinforcements !;
the disaster in placing battery thou
sand yards in advance, and mlsiaAing a
rebel regiment for battery support, and
the failure to bring up the reserve at the
critical time. But the losses OF Bull Run
were small, and the people rallied. till, on
the 10Th Of December, the roll was 1885,
ass men, with thirteen regiments not re
ported, mostly intended for Gen. Burn
side, al under command of General Nc
Clellan.
He then referred to the battle OF Balls
Bluff, reading the orders 70 Devens and
Col. Baker, showing that Baker supposed
there we're AZ. 900 men within twelve miles
Of him, and there Wis no evidence of
rashnsss on the part OF Colonel Baker, ex-
cept exposing his own person. He quo
ted from the evidence Of Maj. John Dix,
who said that very few men in reinforc-
ments would have sufhced to drive off the
enemy At Balls Bluff, and this gallant Of
6cer offered 10 90, if they would let him
have company of 100 men, The ene-
my's batteries were in aawood and it was
difficult to tell what their force was.
Recess till o'clock.
EVENING SESSION.
Mr.. Chandler resumed his remarks, and
read from the testimony OF the general
o&cers, concerning the battle OF Balls
Bluffs to the effect that re-intorcements
could easily have been sent by the way Of
Edwards Ferry. but Mccall and Smith
were ordered to fall back at the very time
Baker was sent across the river, and no
men were sent from Edwards Ferry,
though the distance was short. Gen.
Stone swears there never was any mount.
ed gums between Edwards Ferry and
6aiis Diuii. ihe man who issued the
order must answer to God for the slaughter
of the brave men in that fight. After
this vholesals murder, the whole army of
the Potomac retired, except from in front
Of Washington. He then read further
testimony, showing that the navy depart

1000 more men to hold Matthias Point.

1t san established fact in history that
the English were once in the habi. of sell
ling their children and other relations to
be slaves in Ireland. But under the in.
fuence Of Christian principles, the gener-
Gus Irish, In national synod, not only
put an end to the nefarious traffic, but
emancipated all the English slaves in the
kingdom. This took place in the year
ll.2. Ireland being then afflicted with
public calamities, the clergy and people
began to reproach themselves with the
unehrlstlan practice Of purchasing and
holding in slavery their fellow men. AL
though these slaves were fairly paid for,
and although they were natives of an is.
land from which the Irish had already be.
gun to receive great injuries, il was un-
animously resolved in council to get them
at liberty. The Irish were at that time a
much more enlightened and intelligent
people than the English. This fact has
not been efficiently remembered to the
honor OF Ireland, when pleading with
Britons 10 impart the ssccors of Humanity
