st. Louis, Sept. S.-The National
Afro-American Council in session here,
representing over ten millions of col
ored people of the United States, to-
day issued an address to the country
protesting against the 'inhuman and
indiscriminate system of depriving cit
liens of our country of life and liberty
without due process of law" The ad-
dress further states We view with
alarm the rapid spread of race pre-
judice in this country. AS race we
have striven earnestly and patiently
to impress this nation with our sin
cere desire to be identified with it's
prosperity and even to share its fail
ures, if failures must come. We wish
to declare that the cry of social equal

initiation is without the least founda-
ton. and those who make this argu-
ment know that it is a mere subter-
fuge.''

BROWN AND BLUE
IN FINAL STRUGGLE
BROWNS MAKE THE ATTACK
Upon THE BLUES GATHERED BE-

scheme of Battle Is for the Blues

Browns Upon WashinEtOn-HOs-
tiIities viii Cense Early to Allow
Tired Troops to Get in Shape for
the Review-Many Soldiers Pros
trnted.
Corps Headquarters. Gainesville, Va,
Sept. S.-Gen. Grant, commanding the
Blue army, has taken up a strong
position behind Bull Run. This fact
has not yet been ascertained by Gen.
Bell, commanding the attacking Brown
army.
This advance along the Wellington
pike was harassed just west of Page
land lane by the First brigade of Gen.
Grants army under Gen. Wint. Gen
Bell opposed this force with his First
brigade under Gen. Lee. Taking this
as his adversarys center, he threw
the brigades of Barry, Regain and
Smith to the right of Lee, seemingly
in an effort to get around what would
be the original left wing of the Blue
army w IlCl4 il5AAILelil ScAlAS az .
o'clock this had not been accomplish
ed owing to the distance the main line
of the Blue army was behind it's rear
guard or Wints brigade.
Gen. Grant selected the position be-
hind Bull Run in which to defend
Washington in order that it might be
as easy as possible for his reinforce
ments. which are an the way, to join
him. His position is not what Gen.
Bell evidently has calculated on in
ordering his turning movement, so the
situation to be developed tomorrow
is one of exceeding interest. For this
reason Gen. Bells army is as yet fully
two miles from the main position of
his adversary and his advance is be-
ing opposed by a single brigade.
Cen Corbin has traversed the lines
of both armies to-day, giving partic-
ular attention to the condition of the
men. When the two armies come into
actual contact tomorrow, if this
should be the case before 8 O'Clock,
Gen. Corbin will declare the maneuver
at an end in order that the men may
get in condition for the review of Sat
urday.
So far as the war problem is con-
cerned the benefit to the men and Off
GERS lies in the maneuvering for po-
sition. When the forces collide the
respective strength each side in each
locality has decided the advantage
rather than the shooting of blank
cartridges.
The fighting between the two First
brigades of each army to-day resulted
in forcing the Blue brigade back
through a strip of wood it had occu-
pied just south of the Wellington pike
and west of Pageland lane. Artillery
was used by the Brown army in this
action, the fire being directed into the
woods. This was followed up by the
advance of the Brown line and the
falling back of the Blue, under the di-
rection of the umpires.
The delay of the march of position
until o'clock to-day is a matter of
complaint on the part of the Brown
troops, among whom are the Geor-
gians, as many as 100 prostrations
from the heat having been reported
among the Brown troops, who were
compelled to move in the middle of the
day. These men have been cared for
in the hospitals of Camps Nos. 2 and
3, and in the farm houses along the
road
Gen. Joe Wheeler arrived at head
quarters camp this morning and i'm
mediately rode out to the firing line.
