"The rain continued to pour in torrents
and without intermission. AS we arrived
opposite the depot at Manassas was at
forded glimpse of the place. The most
prominent was the hospital, large frame

battery to be seen In the vicinity. The
only mounted piece was a shell mortar.

reminded her that she had just denounced
General Scott as traitor to his own state,
and if I should fight for the stars and

upon my acceptance of the emblem of dis
loyalty, and still retain it as memento
of the occurrence and with feeling OF
kindly regard for the donor. She cut the
buttons from my coat sleeve, and l con-

wounded were conveyed to them from the
train. OF the six or seven cars which
started from Manassas there were but two
remaining when we reached the rebel capi-
tai. We arrived there about 9 O'Clock in
the evening. After the cars had halted l
