of note that there has been some prog

the rapid propagation of plants

over northwestern Iowa. IL has been
attended by scattered showers on the
eastern Rocky mountain slope and in
the Missouri and Mississippi valleys,
and is being followed by an area of
high pressure and fair, cool weather
that is central over Montana. Another
high Of moderate intensity overlies the

THE first stage Of the civil war
ended with the battle Of Bull
n Run. Dating from that event
the struggle took On a new
character. The north suddenly awak-
ened to The gravity Of the SITUATION

henceforth grim determination became

faction and despair had time TO wear
of the free states rallied again, but
this time their eyes were fully opened
TO the peril. Recruiting began once
more with redoubled energy. but now
the soldiers realized as never before
that he who enlisted might never re-
turn. It was a life and death conflict
whose duration or outcome no man
could foresee. At last the farmer, Ia
borer and business man of the north
knew that the nation was in deadly
peril Yet they were more eager than
before TO offer themselves for its de-
Tense. This feeling was shared by all
classes. Bull Run was as much OF
tonic TO the north as Sumter, but now
there was iron in the dose. After the
terrible Sunday OF July 81 anything
was possible. Washington might be
taken at any moment Congress was
still In session and authorized the
raising Of an army of half a million
men. The north arose to meet the call
The panic following the first great bat

ed Washington. The next day he rode
about the city. I give his impressions
in his own words:
II found no preparations whatever
for defense. not even to the extent Of
putting the troops in military positions.
Not a regiment was properly encamp-
ed, not a single avenue Of approach
guarded. All was chaos, and the
streets, hotels and barrooms were filed
with drunken officers and men absent
from their regiments without leave-a
perfect pandemonium. Many had even
gone to their homes, their flight from
Bull Run often terminating in New
York, or even in New Hampshire or
Maine. There was really nothing TO
prevent q small cavalry force from
riding into the city. \ determined at
tack would doubtless have carried Ar
ii2gtOn heights and placed the city
at the mercy Of a battery of rifed
guns. If the secessionists attached
any value to the possession Of Wash
ington they committed their greatest
bluGder in not following up the victory
Of Bull Run"
He goes on TO say that conditions
across the river were but little better.
The first task undertaken by the new
commander was that Of keeping the
soldiers out of the streets and hotels
of Washington, which he did by pre-
venting them from leaving camp with
out a permit. The next thing was to
restore the morale OF the army, which
was done by increasing discipline. by
keeping the regiments most shaken
and disorga nized in Washington and
sending the others across the river;
also by the general going among his
men frequently. reviewing them, as
surfing them that they had met their
last defeat and by like methods. One
Of the earliest duties undertaken by
Mcclellan was that of wedding out
incompetent officers. such as had been
appointed through political pull. This
he did so thoroughly as to raise yells
among some Of those displaced, but TO
elicit approval from the general pub
lie. Another work done by the new
head of the Army Of the Potomac was
the fertilization Of Washington, and

praised at the lime. Jefferson Davis
was the secretary Of war who sent the
commission abroad, yet It was during
this trip that George B. Mcclellan
gained many OF the ideas which en-
abled him TO fortify Washington and
organize the Army OF the Potomac
against the Davis government.

was made captain Of a cavalry COM

this was carried out IN a manner SO
complete that the capital was never

At about this time the terms Of the
three months men were expiring.
Many OF these re-enlisted, becoming
officers IN new regiments. The dis
banding OF these first troops naturally
created q temporary weakness in the

evidence because II occurred so soon

General Patterson Criticised.

In the north the controversy was al
most as fierce. At the time II was
claimed that General Scott had not ia
vored McDowelrs movement toward
Manassas and had been driven into
reluctant assent by the cry Of ~On to
RichmoDd"' The north agreed on one
thing. however. With great unanimity
and vigor It pitched into General Rob
ert Patterson for his failure to hold
General Johnston in the Shenandoah
valley. Patterson's time expired with
that Of the three months troops, and
he was allowed TO lapse back into OBJ
security.
Out Of all this muck Of contradictions
the facts Of the Bull Run fight seem
TO have been these: That both armies
were raw and unused TO fighting, that
the battle was well planned, but poor
" carried out, and that both armies
were severely hurt these things &C
counting for the fight OF the northern
forces toward Washington and the in
disposition of the sOutherners to fol
low. General Sherman said later that
both armies We're fairly defeated in the
fight, and General Johnston has said
that the southerners were worse dis
organized by their victory than were
the northerners by their defeat
One important result Of the battle
was the shifting Of northern generals.

gard claimed Jo have been IN chief

" ascribed the role To Bea ureGard,
doubtless for the reason that he had
been in charge up 10 the time OF John
ston's arrival Yet there - no doubt
that Johnston outrunbeG BeaureEard
and that it was his troops who won
the battle The later history OF the
war also made Johnston appear the
ubler general Beauregard claimed to
have planned the battle, but Johnston
fatty contradicted this and asserted
that he rejected the first plan offered
by Beauregard and that the fight was
actually shaped by himself for the
south and Mcdowell for the north.
