to wade.
The Brown attack was covered by dense
woods and on the other side of the
stream the Blues had placed themselves
on the side of hill in corn field along
the banks of the run. Regiment after
regiment of Browns were hurled against
the Blue line, but they were driven back
as often as they charged. The men hid
behind trees, stones and fences and, ac-
cording to the decision-of umpires, the
casualties were exceedingly heavy. For
while it seemed impossible that the
attack ofthe Browns could succeed, when
suddenly, out of corn field behind the
Blues, battalion OF regular infan-
try charged with ringing cheers. These
men had crossed the stream and taken
the Blues in the rear. The umpire i'm
mediately ruled that the Blues line here
had been routed and sustained the adj
vance of the Browns.
Just at this moment the Blues on the
extreme left were hurled back by the
Browns under General Barry. Their
entire left flank was turned and had
actual warfare existed they must have
been routed just as happened in 1861.
At one time General Grant, the
commander Of the Blues, had to mount
his horse in haste and dash away
from his headquarters near Sudley
Springs to prevent capture. At this
moment he said, to his chief of staff;
"Well, l guess we are licked today.
They have turned us.
Chief Umpire Col. Wagner was on
the ground when Grants left flank was
turned and sustained the thanking move
ment of the Browns.
As soon as the Browns penetrated the
Blues line, General Corbin ordered the
men to return to their respective camps.
General Bell was warmly congratulated
by his fellow officers after the battle.
In order to prepare for the grand re-
view which General Corbin is to conduct
tomorrow for the entertainment of the
members of the general staff, the foreign
attaches and other distinguished guests,
he ordered that the maneuvers be brought
TO close at 10 o'clock this morning in
stead of 3 O'Clock this afternoon, as had
been originally planned.
1t is desired that the men, exhausted
by the work of the past four days, be
given ample time in which to recuperate
and clean up their uniforms and ac-
coutrements so as to make the best
showing possible.
The militia troops will leave the
maneuvre grounds tomorrow afternoon
and nearly all are expected to arrive at
their home station by September II.
The regulars will follow as soon as suf-
ficient transportation facilities can be
provided.

The Battle" over.

Corps Headquarters, Gainesville, Va,
Sept. 9.-The first battle of Bull Run
has been repeated. Brig. Gen. Bell,
commanding the attacking force OF
Browns, this morning won a victory
over the Blue force which he found
shortly after daybreak entrenched on the
old Bull Run battlefield. BY 9 o'clock
the battle had been fought and won and
Gen. Bell had more than retrieved him
self for his defeat of last Tuesday. The
battle this morning, which began short
" after daybreak, was the most spec
tacular engagement of the maneuvres.
The Brown force pushed its way forward
for two miles driving the skirmish line
of Blues back on their main line at the
Henry farm house and across Bull Run.
Just across Bull Run the Blues,
which represented the union forces OF
the civil war, took what appeared to be
an impregnable position. They theoreti-
cally destroyed all the bridges. At the
famous "Stone Bridge" where Mcdowell
forces fought in the first battle of Bull
Run, one brigade Of the Brown army
was today nearly annihilated, but it in
flicted such loss on the enemy that in
this particular encounter it was difficult
to determine which won.
The victory of General Bell was due
largely to his superior strategy. When
he encountered the Blues main line this
morning H~r from Sudley Springs
