The ambulance, medical and signal
corps Of the militia organizations will
accompany the troops from their
States and participate in the opera
tions.
The manoeuvers are also rendered
particularly interesting and important
for sentimental and historical reasons
by the fact that the conflict of the
Blues and the Browns will be waged
on the battlefield Of Bull Run, where
the first important engagement Of the
Civil war was fought and where the
uuion foTo65 met defeat.
The area Of operations Of the union
and Confederate forces before and dur
ing the Bull Run engagements was
bounded by Centerville on the east,
Groveton on the west, Sudley Springs
on the north and Manassas on the
south, and it is to .h;s famous square
that the manoeuvers will be confined.
Officers of the army who have been
at Manassas and thoroughfare recent
ly, laying out the camps Of the various
divisions and brigades, say that the
battlefield itself and the country
roundabout has changed very little
since Civil war days-so little, in
fact, that the maps used by Beaure-
gard, johnson and Mcdowell in July,
1861, aud those used later by Jackson,
Longstreet, Lee and Pope at the Sec
ond battle Of Bull Run in August,
1862, would still serve to guide the
opposing armies of the Blues and the
Browns through the woods and hills,
pastures and fields of Prince William
County to-day.
The battle-ground takes its name
from Bull Run, a muddy creek that
fows ero,n the Bull Ran mountains
to Aqua creek. At last the conflict
that was waged on this territory is
generally known as the battle of Bull
Run, although in ell tho official re-
