The Drowning Victory OF the Wharf.-The
Second Great Battle OF Bull Run.

The Drowning Victory OF the Wharf.-The
| Second Great Battle OF Buil Run.
We have the supreme satisfaction of con
! graduating our readers this morning upon what
| we accept. from tho facts before us a. the
browning Union victory Of the war.
The old battle field of Bull run has been i'm
| mortalized. The conflict of Friday and yester.
! day on that memorable field completely eclpses
the comparatively small affair of July FL,
| 1861. In that battle, under General Mcdowell,
our forces actually engaged did not ex-
coed $4,000 men, and our losses in killed
and wounded were 1,4S0 while, with some
$1,000 men in the fight the rebel loss {Beari.
regards report} was 1898. In this last battle,
on the same ground, our forces engaged could
hardly be less than $4,000 veteran soldiers,
and the rebel army was doubtless fully up
70 this figure, including raw recruits,
IL not considerably beyond it. Our losses in
tie first days fight are roughly estimated by
Geoeral Pope AZ not less than eight thousand
killed and wounded while he thinks the rebel
loss two to our one. The casualties OF the
second day may have been greater or less
They have not been reported. 1t IL manifest
however, that in desperate fighting, and in the
aggregate OF killed and wounded on both
sides, this second great and sanguinary battle Of
Bull run will eclipse even the two days bloody
conflict at Pittsburg Landing
We accept the result. in advance Of positive
announcement, as a browning Union victory
We think there can be no mistake about it,
from the decided and satisfactory results of the
first day, at the close Of which the enemy were
driven from the field and great captures
Of the extent of which he could not form an
idea, were made by General Pope. The first
battle Of Bull run, had it resulted in decisive
Union victory. would have virtually ended
tis war year ago this second and much
greater battle, if a crushing rebel defeat, a.
we believe it will turn out to be, puts an end
10 the hope. OF the rebels on the very field
