THE FIRST MANASSAS.
General JuBal A. Early on the .What Night Have
Been.',

General Jubal A. Early has gone into print
again IN answer TO certain statements of Colo
nel Alfred Roman IN regard TO the failure Of
the Confederate forces to advance on Wash
ingtOn after the first battle Of Manassas. The
present discussion results from the recent pub
hcation in the New Orleans Tines Democrat Of
two extracts from an essay entitled Popular
Errors in Regard 70 the War" published BY
General Early IN the Land We Love fifteen
years ago. That essay had special reference 20
the first battle Of Manassas, in regard to which,
General Early says, certain erroneous opinions
prevailed, and still prevail, among a lsrgs
number OF Southern people. I5 was claimed
by General Early IN his essay that the battle
that General Beauregard had planned was
never fought, because the enemy did not move
as he expected him to move, that the battle
which was fought was planned by General Me-
DOwel at least so far as the ground on which
it was fought was concerned. and that the pre-
tense that the advance from Manassas was pre-
vented by the want of transportation and sup
plies was wholiy-untenable.
In reply TO these statements which were in
cOrporated in review of :. The Military Opera
tions of Gen. BeauTegard,7 = published in the
Times Democrat, Colonel Roman maintained that
the statements of General Early were unsub-
stantiated in every respect; that Early was
only colonel at the first Manassas, and con-
seQuently that his opportunities for extensive
agement of army affairs were necessarily few.
General Early, by way of reiOinder, suggests
that there were enough real battles fought
q with deadly weapons to satisfy the curiosity
of the most earnest seaFeher after the truth OF
history without having recourse TO these bat
ties on paper He could not stand the rehec-
tions of Colonel Roman, however, and has pub
lished long letter in the New Orleans Tines
DeROeTat in which he goes 0verthe old ground,
reiterateS his old statements and afiirnlS that
the correctness of his conclusions have not been
disproved by any subsequent evidence. After
referring to the manner in which Colonel RO-
man has speculated as to what might have been
the result if certain things had been done
which should have been done, General Early
grows sarcastic and " speculates little on MS
own account, saying: g If we had not entered
into the war until we had been able to raise
larger and better equipped army than the
United States Government, with It's immense
resources, was able 10 put in the field, have
decided, firm and unalterlble conviction THAI
we would never have been defeated"

but would not disregard the Constitution to

Don't you see the di1erence?'
And SO ended the conversation. But when
Mr.. Iangaon went inside the effort he had un-
Intentionally made IN defense Of President
Lincoln on one point set him TO thinking
whether he might bear as good defense upon
many others When he got through thinking
about The matter, he had advanced one step

COS THE r1ELp OF MoNrEREY.n

By Reu. J. G.. Lyons
The strife was stern at Monterey,
When those high towers were lost and won,
And, pealing through that mortal fray,
Flashed the strong battery's vengetul gun.
Yet, needless of its deadly rain,
She stood in toll and danger first
To bind the bleeding soldiers vein,
And slake the dying soldiers thirst.
She found pale and stricken foe,
Sinking in nat ture's last eclipse,
And on the red earth lxneeing low
She wet his parched and fevered lips;
When, thick as winters driving sieet,
The booming shot and flaming shell
Swept with wild rage that CORY street,
And she, the good and gentle, fell.
They laid her in her narrow bed
The foemen of her land and race,
And sighs were breath'd and tears were shed
Above her lowly resting place.
Ay glorys crimson worshipers
Wept OVER her unkindy fall,
For deeds of mercy such as hers
Subdue the hearts and eyes of all.
To sound her worth were guilt and shame
In us, who love but gold and ease;
They heed alike our praise or blame,
Who live and die in works like these.
Far greater than the wise or brave,
Far happier than the fair or gay,
Was she who found a martyrs grave
Oh that red field of Monterey.

PARENTAL LEGISLATION.
Ready Remedies for All the Ills of Civ
iIizatiOn.


All these official reforms are essentially
idle. Is the nation to be sober? Pass an
act of Parliament out of hand and shut mp
the public houses. Is it to be provident?
Pass an act of parliament and compe. men
to make provision for themselves. Is it to
be intelligent? Pass an act of Parliament
and harry the homes till every child is at
school. Is it to consist of unselfish and devot-
ed parents? Pass a factory act, and tie the
hands of the parents so that he can no
longer sell his child's labor. Nothing Is re-
quired of US but to hold some enthusiastic
meetings, make some speeches, write some
letters to the Times, and scrape votes enough
together, and then all these great things
shall be done. Happy world! How easily it
is to be cured of its faultsl We may now
sink back contentedly into our arm-chairs
for the rest of our life, enjoy the testi-
moninals we received III the moment of en-
thusiasm, admire the statues that were CRATE
fully raised to US, and reperuse our own
speeches, as there remains nothing else for
us to do In presence of the regen-
Grafton In human nature that our
last batch Of regulations has effected.
What fools men are not to enjoy perfect
health, when Holloway,s pills, Clark's blood
mixture, and Eno's fruit-salts are to be had
for the ordering; and what fools they are not
to become sober, provIdent, intelligent, and
unselfsh, when all that is wanted Is only to
pass two or three acts of Parliament to pro-
vide them with the qualities wanted.-From
