Curious Statements from Lieut.. nj.
F. Maury.
How Manassas might have been
Taken by Our Forces
The London Herald, one Of the leading Or
rams of the secessionists in Epgland, publishes
Ihe following remarkable letter from the
trailer Maury, addressed to Admiral de Cha
banIc, Of the French navy, giving some curl
ous stat. ments Of abe cencition of the rebels, |
md admitting that Manassas could have baen
Eabs n by our forces mac an earlier stack been |
made:
Biz t;oon FRIEND: Your excellent letter of |
August list has reached me only no*. Not |
its long t:isrying By tile way, I I
hasten to thank you for it with all my heart, |
aud 10 assure you that its kind words aud gen
ercus sentiments have lost none Of their force t
By the lapse ct ti1ue.
I hope you will not think me iasensible to |
the lcnors with which you tell me l would be !
welcomed in Europe, it, at present, appear |
deaf to yuar assurance OF their high IMPORT
It is sru.: that the role which, up to this |
time, have been permitted to play in the |
great drama which my country is enactiug |
petute The world, is humble; still cur cause
is just, TO me The blood Of my children has
coisectattd it, it Is precious to my heart.
All I have and all oHr are in it; therefore,
I refer to tarry here-a refugee from my
home and MY little oIes watching aa1 Walt
ing.
WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO TURN Up.
THAT re hsyc no navy is also true. Never
tae.ess something may lara up. Cnaoce may
throw opportunity in my waJ. If so, hare I

since this war was forced upon us. We, on
our lalt, had TO commence it without an

and CONF 1=te in its urSalliz .lioo, arranged
his legions for tie hatue and rejolced IN his
sr.ps1b.
peuple, cut of from the world and suddenly
tE5own upon our Own resources, whic nr,
tackct by ail the appliances that the work
Steps Of Europe could supply, or tHat com
hit ret could furnish. Nut *i;nataaGing ttlls,
our Ico1'le braVely resolved to withdraw from
ali political association with the North, and to
acc. 1t tie consequences, be they what tacy
E1ay.
HOW SECESSION HAPPENED
tion about this move Never was the popular
Will 1nure fairly EXPRESSED than With the
SoutIern people uttered 1ielr voice fur secas-
tion-
Our enemies hare sought to make the I'M
PRESTON abroad that the reverse was tue case:
TIA. tbs so-cAlad rebellion was haschrd By q
fiction, AID is led by few freeaters No
sach fling. We were pushed into it, al un-
prepared as We wire, by tile tyrlnny and the
adaptations and the factions Of tho North.
III cse,y Southern State the people were
rgnia,ly consu ted on the question Of sep
t1tir opinions freely, and after full ccliber:,-
lion and never we're people more unanimous
u ally ballot box than were ours for Instant,
complete and eternal separation from the
North; and that, too, at the instant, all un-
prepared as they 8cre- There is now nc
tIio1l feeling in the South, but the Yankees
would Iain have you b:lic7e that there is.
THE EFFECTS OF DELAY BEFORE MANASSAS.
It is i iact not generally known abroad, but
n'ay state it now, that when this war CON
r,encci, and even after we had assembled an
arDF in the field, such was the want OF pre-
| Ia1aiioH, and such Wls the lack of munitions
| OF war on our part, that there vas not only
not u percussion cap machine in the conted,
| eracy, but When the army of Manassas to ok
UP It's Position, it had but four rounds t, the
1uHn. Lad The enemy jpiacd battle with u5
! tDtre few Weeke sooner than he did, vi
| Should, for the want Of ptrcu5s ion caps, Lave
had to quit tus field, or light him entirety witt
| LIE bay onet.
But see what We have accomplished in tn.
! way Of preparation. At this moment the grca
! army OF the North, said to be 1he most Euper1
With equipments rnat the world ever SAW Az
| u,my Which We have stood still aad permitted
! nc enemy to rxise, and discipline, and II
bring against US at lelsure-that graud army
t tsfcre which our capital was to tall aud GU
PEOPLE succumb, is now driven from It's tran
t cites, routed ard flying before our braves
armed, some with flint locks, some with fowl
| ing-pieces, some with percusslous, and all @
divers patterns, just as We could iabricate
rake aud scEape them together. This tghtln!
aud fleeing has been going On since yes1erda
week.
In all probability you and the whole c
Europe will first hear Of it As great lanke
victory, fer your first intelligence Of it will
IRON the North.
HESDAC1TY OF THE "TASkEEs."
Happily, for the cause Of truth, you, III E.

~ they should have plenty Of cotton.
- Now let Us inquire where that army is,
Ihaye never been able to make it out.
know that we have never pretended to Il
on our side more than 400 600 men In
field st any one time, and that in every
vance that Lincoln has attempted to III
