To return to the Arlington House,
during that Monday afternoon the boys
came struggling in through mud and
slush, and in a demoralized condition.
The tents were up just as we left them
the Tuesday previous, but the miserable,
drilling rain made everything uncom-
Portable. After awhile we got fires
started, and by. the contribution from
those who had not thrown their haver-
sacks away we made some coffee, and
finally lay down for the night to awake
next morning to bright sky that made
everything look more cheerful and quite
different.
Nearly all the regiment was in by
Tuesday morning, 23d instant, and we
resumed regular camp duty and had our
regimental evening parade President
Lincoln and Secretary Seward visited us
in the afternoon and made little speeches,
BIDDING Us KEEP HEART;
that we would be Immediately returned
to New York, but they hoped we would
all re-enlist and return for the war.
Here | will give a specimen of the in
dependence of the volunteer of '61.
After our dress-parade this day, one of
the Lieutenants went up TO the Colonel,
and, before the whole regiment, berated
him and criticized him for lack of courage
during the fight What could the Colo
mel do? We were to return to New
York the next day and resume civil life,
where no respect would be paid to mill
tary rank.
In the afternoon of July "a we march
ed to Washington, where transportation
awaited us, and we arrived in New York
on Thursday, 25th inst, at o'clock p.
m. We received the same enthusiastic
greeting on our way to the armory as we
did on leaving. Arriving at the Head
quarters, we were dismissed to our homes,
and Aug. 2 we were paid off and
mustered out of the United States service.

always had the greatest admiration for
Mcdowell from that day to this, and
never could understand why such an
able, faithful and true man could have
been SO misunderstood, maligned and
abused before, during and after this cam
paign.
The Chicago Tribune in 1870 paid
him the following Just and true tribute.

wall, on solid ground in estimating It's
heroes and its importance. In the frst
place, we have learned 10 estimate the
character of Mcdowell, who planned the
battle With a cool, wise head, and fought
II upon this plan according to the best
advantage he could make with the
material that lay at his command. No
other battle during the whole war was
better devised, and none in the East,
fought on the offensive during the next
few years, had more nearly been success
ful.
"The Federal commander was assailed
for the folly Of his troops here as few
commanders have ever been, vet he kept
up heart, stood patiently by the cause,
took third-rate place under McClel-
Ian with generous resignation, and gave
all the successive men placed over him
hearty support.
Since the death of Geo. II. Thomas
it is safe to say that there is no man in
the United States upon whom we rely
for judgment, for devotion, for willing
ness to suffer above the common fate of
all who suffered then more than Irwin
Mcdowell. There are more men who
fought in the Army of the Potomac who
would sooner enlist under Mcdowell to-
day than under any General commander
the war in the East turned out.
His element Of character was rcsigna-
ton, never mutinying, never abusing any
man behind his back, holding to the
cause at the expense of frightful calum-
nies heaped upon himself, and it is
probable that his fame Will grow hence

The losss in Porters Brigade was as
follows:
The National tribune., 1895-12-12

In Burnside's Brigade the loss was ::
Killed, 124; wounded, 236; missing,
306; total, 666; making a total in
Hunters Division Of killed, wounded,
and missing, 1,14S.
The total loss Of the Union army at
Bull Run was 481 killed, / oil wounded,
1,460 missing; in all, 1852. So the loss
in Hunters small division was large
percentage Of the whole.
Much has been said as TO the causes
of the defeat at Bull Run, and while we
have much respect for some Of the COM
manders who expressed their disappoint-
ment at the behavior of the Union
troops, vet it must be taken in consid-
Grafton that this was the first great bat
tie, and the Northern soldier had not as
yet got used to the
SIGHT OF BLOOD,
and when, by a volley from concealed
enemy, he sees death for the first time on
every side, it was not strange that his
first impulse was for self-protection, and
lie broke away from his lines, and when,
in some cases, he sees his officers also
looking for safety, he loses confidence in
his leaders and resolves TO look out for
himself And this accounts for the scat
tered troops.
They did not run away; sometimes it
was a whole company intact, but sepa-
rated from the regimcntal organization.
More often it was scattered squads of
men and individuals that were waiting
10 I've led; but they were SO mixed up
and demoralized that nothing could be
done with them.
In my opinion, if Tyler, with his
heavy division, under Keyes, Schenck,
Sherman, and Richardson, had crossed
the Stone Bridge at once on hearing the
firing, the Union army would have been
in Richmond in another day. But cur
hindsight is always superior to our fore
sight. If Patterson had carried out his
intention of attacking Johnston at Bun
ker Hill on July II, then, also, might
the four-years' war have been prevented.
If Bull Run had been fought on the Goth
instead of the 2lst, before the enemy
was reinforced, without doubt we would
have won.
Mcdowell, in his report of Aug. 4,
says: "In conclusion, i desire to say, in
reference TO the events of the 2lst ulti-
mo, that the general order for the battle to

stopped to rest at the Texarkana

manufactures large quantities of

of these drinks, and both enjoyed
the sampling. This spring the COM

Editor TEXARRKANIAN:
Please allow me to correct false
impression relative to securing the
Texarkana Brass Band for the X.
of II. picnic July 4th. The commit
tee on music asked the president of
the Texarkana Band what they
would play for on the 4th and the
answer after due submission to the
members of the band was 1925, 90,
which was submitted at Il meeting
of the general committee and it was
thought by the body as being an
exorbitant price, thereupOn the
committee offered the band $500
for that day. which the band said
was less than they had been offered
away from home. The matter so
far as the X. of II. Committee is
concerned dropped it here. This is
the naked truth, typical of the con-
dition of the Texarkana Band but a
short time ago, No one need feel
sorry rs the committee will secure
good music for the occasion,
