last gave way, and Mcclellan was given
one Of the coveted Major-Generalships

(, time Secretaries Chase and Cameron

one Of the new Brigadier-G Generals in

Of which the Bull Run IS type. On
the plains of Manassas, about three
miles from Bull Run, the railroad run
ming from Alexandria to Gordonsville
makes junction with branch road
running thru Manassas Gap into the
Shenandoah Valley. This latter road
was built to bring the products Of the
Shenandoah Valley into Alexandria,
and it formed fine point for concen-
tration behind the canyon of Bull Run.
1t was in easy communication with
Richmond by means of the railroad to
Gordonsyille, and also afforded quick
communication with the column under
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, which was
guarding the Shenandoah Valley in the
neighborhood OF Harper's Ferry. The
right of the new line rested on the Po-
tomac at Aqua Creek, some 40 miles
below Washington, from which point
ran a railroad to Fredericksburg and
Richmond.
Maj. P. G. T. Beauregard had been
rewarded for his work in reducing Fort
Sumter by an appointment as Briga-
der General, c. S. A, and was assigned
to command the line extending from
the Blue Ridge to Aqua Creek. He
had under him at Aqua Creek a bril-
gade of 5000 men and six guns COM
manded by Gen. Holmes. With him
at Manassas he had the brigades OF
Gems. Bonham, Ewell, d. r. Jones
Longstreet, Cooke and Early, besides
three regiments of infantry, one regi-
ment and three battalions of cavalry
and six batteries of artillery. He re-
ports the strength of these early in
July at 1900 men with 81 guns.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston had re-

which led to the strong enmity that ex-
listed between the President of the
Southern Confederacy and the man
whom many considered his ablest Gen.

of stickler for his rank as other Reg

might leave the United States Army to
enter that of the Confederacy the
same relative rank in the latter which
they had in the former, he should have
ranked all the other Generals. The
first schedule of appointments support
ed this view and made him first, fol-
lowed in their order by Samuel Cooper
a. S. Johnston, r. E. Lee and p
C. T. Beauregard. When the list was
finally made up, however, Cooper was
put at the head. A. S. Johnston next,
Lee third and J. E. Johnston fourth.
Joseph e. Johnston was assigned to
the duty of covering the Shenandoah
Valley. threatening Maryland and
Pennsylvania with possibility of
making a dash on Washington and Bal-
timore thru the Gap at Harper's Ferry.
He was given the brigades of Gems.
Stonewall Jackson, Bee, Barlow and
Kirby Smith, two regiments of infan-
try not brigaded, one regiment of cav
airy and five batteries of artillery. AL
together he had something over 10000
effective men.
A cause of division between Jeffer-
son Davis and Joseph E. Johnston i'm
mediately arose as to the holding of
Harpers Ferry. Davis had the dclu-
sion of John Brown, which was shared
in by many Generals on both sides dur
ing the war, that Harpers Ferry was
II strong tactical position, that could
and should be held against largely out
numbering forces. AS a gateway it is
certainly important in a strategic way,
but such are the approaches to it that
ii would require an immense army to
hold it, while smaller one would be
easily caught in trap by any stronger
force. This was illustrated when Col.
Miles attempted to hold it in 1862
against Stonewall Jackson. Gen. John
ston was too much of a strategst to
and tho Davis insisted that it was
highly important position both for
military and political considerations"
Johnston withdrew upon the approach
of Patterson from Hagerstown and Nc
Clellan's troops from West Virginia.
Pollard in The First Year of the War"
gives this account of the operations
around Harpers Ferry:
The demonstrations of the Federal
forces in the direction of the Valley of
Virginia were certainly thwarted by
the timely falling back of our army
from Harper's Ferry to Winchester.
Gen. PattersOn's approach was expect
ed by the great route into the Valley
from Pennsylvania and Maryland
leading thru Winchester, and it was
an object of the utmost importance to
prevent any junction between his forces
and those of Gen. Mcclellan, who was
already making his way into the upper
portions of the Valley On the morn
ing of the 18th of June information was
received from Winchester that Romney
was occupied by 1000 Federal troops
supposed to be the vanguard of Nc
Clellan's. army. detachment was

scene. when more than a dozen of these
huge fabrics. crowded into small
space, were blazing at once. So great
was the heat and smoke that many
of the troops were forced out of the
town, and the necessary labors of the
removal were performed with the
greatest difficulty"
Gen. McDowelIs Difficulties.
Maj. Mcdowell was commissioned a
Brigadier- General. U. S. A.. May IA.
1861; May 17,was assigned to command
of the defenses of Washington south Of
the Potomac, and May q. to command
the army which was to advance upon
the enemy's position. Among other
obstacles he at once encountered the
opposition of Cen Mansfield, in COM
mand of Washington. to having his
force diminished and his best regiments
sent to his Junior across the river. OF
his difficulties Gen. Mcdowell gives this
pathetic story in his testimony before
the Committee on the Conduct of the
War:
Some of my regiments came over
very late; some of them not till the
very day 1 was to move the army |
had difficulty in getting transportation.
In fact. / started out with no baggage
train; with nothing at all for the tents;
simply transportation for the sick and
plies were to go afterward. i expected
| the men to carry rations for three days
in their haversacks. If 1 went to Gen.
Mansfield for troops. he said. L have no
transportation / went to Gen. Meigs.
and ne said he had transportation. but
Gen. Mansfield did not want any to be
given out until the troops should move.
said, I agree to that, but between you
two l get nothing
1.-The Quartermaster begged of me
not to move. because he was not ready.
said. we must move on Tuesday,
which was one week after the time
Gen. Scott had fixed. Ali my force had
not come over by the time he fixed. A
large part came over on Sunday, and
some on the very Tuesday 1 moved.
told the General 1 was not ready to go.
Said / 10 him, so far as transportation
is concerned. 1 must look to you, be-
hind me. to send it forward
Il had no opportunity to test my
machinery: to move 1t around and see
whether it would work smoothly or not.
In fact, such was the feeling that when
had one body of eight regiments of
troops reviewed together. the General
