Now that the heat OF the battle between the bulls
and the police, assisted by the citizens OF the me.
tropoiis, is over 1t may be worth while to take
into account the injuries inflicted and the more
noteworthy incidents OF the night of terror and
insane nerriment which had never before It's
counterpart In New York and may not have It's
like again for period OF fifty years.
TO many thousands OF people in this city the
chase after the wild steers OF the Texas long grass
proved to be as great diversion as game OF
base ball or any other known athletic sport and by
many persons 1t was looked upon as q boon and was
enjoyed accordingly.
WHY DID NOT THE POLICE DIG EARTHwoRKsf
In a number Of cases the police behaved with
great bravery and energy, but in majority OF the
Incidents OF this eventlul Sunday night the usually
bellicose blue coats acted like circus performers
and did not seem to know whether they stood on
their heads or their feet 1t must be said how
ever that some of them showed good skill in engi-
Heerng and in the erection OF Notifications, breast
works and abattis. Those who remember that ter
rlble day OF July 1861, will not forget that 1t was
the first OF series OF dreadful fights that were to
be fought on Sundays afterward during the civil
were fought each on sunday, and now we have
had our third battle OF Bull Run. In each OF the
nrst two fights there was, OF course, more mind
fighting than in the engagement OF last Sunday
night nut Pope, no, nor Jackson, never displayed
such magnificent strategy as was displayed by the
police on Sunday night. The switness OF their at
tacks on the different bulls could only be equalled
by the celebrity OF their movements In retreat be-
fore the desperate attacks or the infuriate ami

Sergeant Douglas through the Bloody Sixth was
equal TO the winged movements OF the terrible
Macedonian infautry on the memorable day OF
Granicus. And would not Coburn vaban, Todt-

The heaviest firing ever known in the Wilder
ness, which was mostly musketry firing, had a
less disastrous percentage than the firing which
resulted on Sunday night At the two or three
barricades erected men took position as in actual
