The first battle of Bull Run was the
first important battle Of the civil war
and was fought on Sunday, July q,
1861. The location of the battlefield is
in northeast Virginia, about thirty miles
from Washington. The Federal army
was commanded by General Mcdowell
and the Confederate troops by Generals
Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston.
The result was a demoralizing defeat
for the Union arms. The second battle
of Bull Run was fought on Aug. 20 and
&c. 1862, General Pope being In CON-

of the Confederacy being under COM

will be a desperate blow for the gal

position commands the harbOr, and if
the Japanese can mount siege guns on

is by no means certain that even
though the Russians are forced to re-
tire from 203-Metre Hill the japanese
can place in position heavy guns
against the fire which the other forts
can bring to bear on it. Still the War

such breach IN the chain renders

The telephone system maintained
by the service has proved of great as

given to its Improvement and extern

extend practically unbroken from
Maine to the Carolinas, and have con-
nectlon at all important points with
