Bull Run Not Shameful.

Under the above heading the Mimi
eapolis Journal editorially reviews
the battle of Bull Run and thinks the
result was needed to convince the
North that son to Richmond meant
more than frolic, and the Journal
is correct, for the news of the defeat
and retreat of Gen. McDowell'S army
to Washington aroused the North
more seriously than the firing on
Sumter. The Editor of the LEADER
was in New York City at the time
and remembers distinctly the fierce
determination of the people of that
city that the South must be subdued.
The Minneapolis Journal says:
This week fifty years ago the North
was in shame and chagrin over the
rout of Bull Run, while the South be-
lieved that demonstration had been
that the ability of one Southerner to
whip three Yankees.
Yet General Beauregard had been
beaten on the field of Manassas and
by Northern raw regiments h o
proved themselves valiant and furious
enough The arrival of General John
ston's men from the Valley of Vir-
ginia turned Beauregard's defeat into
Southern victory. 1t did more: it
saved the Southern soldiers from be-
ing swept from the field in rout, even
as their Northern opponents were
swept.
For the victory of Beauregard was
no half way one. His regiments were
gone or going, and would have been
prodded into panic by the triumphant
Northerners, if General Johnston s
men had not arrived.
Put two opposing armies, made up,
three-fourths of them, OF men never
under fire before, illy-drilled, undis-
ciplined, unaccuStomed to orders or
to organization-put two such armies
into pitched battle, and provided
both show fight, it remains mere
question of which side will be seized
with panic first Panic is bound to
hit one or the other.
| That the Northerners were chosen
was not due to the superior lighting
! quality of the Southern soldier. The
Southerners, no more than any others,
were not free from panic. The yeter-
ans of Braxton Bragg, the victors OF
terrible Chickamauga, were to be
stricken in their intrenchments on
Missionary Ridge and to run as in.
]gloriously as did the raw Northerners
back to Washington from Bull Run.
How the Army of Napoleon ran from
Waterloo. How the Army of Hood
ran from Nashville. Every army has
suffered more or less from panic
Frederick the Great fled thirty miles
from his first battlefield without even
knowing whether his men were losing
or winning.
| Bull Run was one of those fortuitous
occurrences that are really no ones
fault. The plan of General Mcdowell
was admirable. He did not believe ir
an advance at that time. He under
took the advance when ordered. He
was not responsible for the juncture
of Johnson with Beauregard If any
body's negligence was responsible, it
was General Patterson s, who was sup
posed to hold Johnston in the Valley
of Virginia. Patterson himself was
not to blame Public opinion in the
North really was to blame, because il
insisted upon an advance.
| Nevertheless, Bull Run had it,
uses. Perhaps it was required to con
vince the North how serious was the
War.
