batteries In position only to have them
fred upon by Federals. and every show
of infantry force was met by similar
display on the Federal side.
Toward nightfall Jeb Stuart's watch
full cavalry brought word to LonSstreet
that q large force OF Federals was
marching against his right nank. FL
nally Longstreet gathered up his bri-
gades and sent them after the scatter
ed batteries and regiments OF the
enemy, and there was general re-
treat, ending at dark. Lee had urged
Longstreet to attack verything In
sight. but his lieutenant was cautious
about rushing upon an unknown force
and after his experiments OF the art
ernoon reported that the attack had
better be delayed until the morning OF
the 3Oth. With this In view be called
back his advance lines and went into
bivouAc.
When Pope saw that Longsueets
troops were falling back he telegraph
ed to Washington that he had scored
victory, and the Confederates were re-
treating. Pope didn't know OF the
coming of Longstreet, and Lee and
Longstreet knew nothing Of Fitz-John

AS the finishing blow to Jackson
Pope late the Goth of August ordered

Jackson's line at the railway. Tw'

tected except for the Federal batter,
of Hazlett and his supports, the demi

brought them in on a wide circuit

let alone until Longstreet arrived on
the field. The better to keep the en-
envy at arms length he formed his sol
diers behind an unfinished railroad
embankment which extended northeast
and southwest across the historic War
renton pike on the western borders Of
the old battlefield OF 1861.
At the beginning OF the two days
battle which ensued on this ground the
aim OF Pope was merely to destroy
Jackson. who had recklessly been ex-
posed 10 the whole Federal army. Jack
sons aim was to hold his ground until
help came. and the aim OF Lee and
Dongstreet was to succor Jackson. The
ball opened on the Goth with a fierce
artillery duel. Pope wanted to shell
JRckson's men out OF their stronghold
but Jackson had plenty Of guns and
ammunition. While the gunners work
ed away at long range Pope tried to
find weak spot in 'Stonewall's" line.
One point in the railroad embank-
ment was impreRnable. This was
long. deep cut. where the banks were
steep on both sides. The cut was

Pope started his different corps upon

week confusion reigned over twenty
miles OF territory around the old battle
field Of Bull Run. In his hunt for
"StonewaIl'' Jackson, Pope attempted
10 drag a field ten miles broad and
twenty long lying between the Warren
ton pike and the railroad running from
the Rappahannock back TO Washing
ton. Since he first met with Lee the
first week in August he had been re-
enforced with four divisions from Nc

one from Burnside's force in North
Carolina. His orders TO his generals
were to hold the railroad and keep the

was Manassas Junction. the sole sup
ply depot for his army outside OF Wash
ington. This Jackson swooped down
upon Aug. -. and after his soldiers
had appropriated 10 themselves all they
could eat or carry away he gave the
rest 10 the torch. That same day one
wing Of Jackson's corps fought with
General Joseph Hooker ut the cross

The Passing" OF the Horse

In the middle OF the last decade.
when the motor car was beginning 10
give some hint OF its present day
achievements. the press of the country
at frequent intervals babe a more or
less teariul adieu 10 the horse.
A Trustworthy statisticiau, however,
has come forward with the assertion
that, 50 far from following the red
man into Oblivion. the equine popula-
ton OF the United States has double
since 1900. There are now 30. 900, 600
horses in this country, valued at nearly
three billion dollars.
From this II would appear that, in
spite OF the manifold activities OF the
ubiquitous motor. there is still work
tor the horse. But beyond all argu-
ment the fact remains that the one
place where horse has no business Is
on the streets OF a great city. - The
