Confederates in possession of the field.
That same evening / arrived at Thor
oughfare gap. But l should say that
during Jackson's march l had been en-
gaging Pope at different points along1the
Rappahannock, to impress him with the
idea that 1 was attempting to force a
passage in his front. On the afternoon OF
the 26th Pope's army broke away from
it's strong position to meet Jackson's dar-
ing and unexpected move. Gen. Lee de-
cided that I should follow at once, and
asked whether I would prefer to force
passage of the river. now rapidly falling.
or take the route by which Jackson had
gone 1 decided to take Jackson's route,
and on the 18th l started. On the 18th,
just before night. l arrived at Thorough
fare gap.
AS we approached a report was made
to me that the pass was unoccuped, and
we went into bivouac on the west side or
the mountain. sending brigade under
Anderson down to occupy the pass. AS
the Confederates neared the gap from
one side Ricketts, division of Federals
approached from the other and took pos
session of the east side.

DRAWING BY A. C. RED

Hood was climbing over the mountain
at Thoroughfare by a trail We had no
trouble In getting over. and our apTre-
tensions were relieved at the early dawn
of the 29th by finding that Ricketts, had
given up the east side of the gap and
was many hours in advance of us, NOV
ing in the direction of Manassas juno
ton.
AS we found the pass open at early
dawn and g clean road in front, We
marched leisurely to unite our forces
on Manassas plains. Before reaching
Gainesville we heard the artillery COM
bat in front. and our men Involuntary
quickened their steps. Our communica-
tons with Jackson We're quite regula
and as he had not expressed a wish that
We should hurry, our troops were al
lowed to take their natural swing under
the inspiration of impending battle As
we approached the field the fire seemed
to become more spirited. and gave adj
ditiona1 impulse to our movement. Ac-
cording to the diary of the Washington
Artillery we filed down the turnpike at
Gainesville at 1870 am. We marched
steadily from daylight till We reached
the field, with the exception of an hour s
halt to permit Stuarts cavalry to file
from east to west of us. There were

Passing through Gainesville, we filed on
to the left down the turnpike. and soon
came in sight of the troops held at bay
by Jackson. Our line of march brought
us in on the left and rear of the Federals.
At sight Of this favorable opportunity
our artillery was ordered up. with the
leading brigades for it's support. Our adj
Federals withdrew from attack. retiring
their left across the pike behind Grove
ton, and taking strong defensive ground.
The battalion of Washington Artillery
was thrown forward to a favorable posi-
ton on Jackson's right, and from that
point my line was deployed so to eN-
tend 1t to the right some distance beyond
the Manassas Gap railroad. A Federal
corps was reported to be at Manassas
Junction that morning. and We trail
traced Ricketts, division from Thorough
fare gap toward the same point. My line
was now arranged for attack in front
and also to guard against the force in
the direction of the junction. This prep
aration must have taken an hour-pos-
Sibly more
AS soon as the troops were arranged
Gen. Lee expressed his wish to have me
attack. The change of position on the
part of the Federals, however, involved
sufficient delay for a reconnaissance on
our part To hasten matters 1 rode over
to see the new position, and had fair
view of the Federal line The position
was not inviting. and | so reported to
Gen. Lee.

five miles from Washington, just before
night, the greater part of the Federal
guard at that point fled and two trains
of cars were captured. jackson sent a
force forward seven miles and captured
Manassas Junction. taking eight pieces
of artillery, lot of prisoners and great
quantities of commissary and quarter
masters stores. He left force at Bris-
toe station and proceeded to Manassas
Junction, arriving there himself on. the
morning of the 9th.

During the afternoon the enemy at
tackled our troops at Bristoe station in
such force that it was evident Pope had
discovered the situation and was moving
with his entire army upon Jackson. The
COnfederates at the station withdrew
after a sharp engagement. and the Fed
erals halted there. Jackson appropriated
such of the supplies captured at Manassas
as he could use, and burned the rest. He
then moved over to position north of
the turnpike heading from Warrenton to
Alexandria. There, on the old battlefield
of Bull Run. Jackson waited for the Fed
erals. On the evening Of the 18th King 8
division came moving eastward down the
turnpike and Jackson met them. A bloody
fight ensued, lasting until o'clock at

and projecting powders. forming posi-
ton unassailable when occupied by
small infantry and artillery force. Up to
this moment we had received reports
from Gen. Jackson. at regular intervals,
assuring us of his successful operations,
and of confidence in his ability to battle
all efforts of the enemy till we should
reach him. This sudden interposition of
a force at mountain pass indicated
purpose on the part of the adversary to
hold me in check while overwhelming
forces were being brought against Jack
son. This placed us in a desperate
strait for We were within relieving dis

all opposition.
Three miles north was Hopewell gap.
and 1t was necessary to get possession of
this in advance of the FederalS, In order
to have that vantage ground for a flank
movement at the same time that We
forced our way by footpaths over the
mountain heights at Thoroughfare gap.

satisfying to pass the early afternoon
than to have luncheon at the Senate and
then to attend the debates until duty de-
mands one to make some calls. l have

its phases. But the larger issues of life
are much more worthy of women than
the trivial ones on which we are prone to
spend so much time studying. Politics

local, and II once a woman Will begin 10

women to discuss household matters only

public career for the gentler sex.
