Map: relative positions of forces at sunset, August 28, 1862. I had left Manassas Junction, however, for Centreville. Hearing the sound of the guns indicating King's engagement with the enemy, McDowell set off to rejoin his command, but lost his way, and I first heard of him next morning at Manassf Gainesville. On the morning of the 30th, as may be easily believed, our troops, who had been marching and fighting almost continuously for many days, were greatly exhausted. They had had Monument to the Union soldiers who fell at Groveton August 28, 29, and 30, 1862. from a photograph taken soon after the monument was erected in 1865.

hat night and once by his own staff-officer, to hold his ground at all hazards. Now the casual reader, ignoring the commas before and after the words and also direct to General King, would say that orders were sent to King several times that night and once by his own staff-officer. Indeed, these words have been used as authority in the army, in histories, even in Congressional debate, for the statement that General King received repeated orders to hold his ground on the evening of August 28th, 1862, and abandoned it in spite of them. No order or message of any kind, sort, or description reached General King that night from General Pope or any other superior officer; no staff-officer of General King saw or heard of General Pope that night; and, in point of fact, no matter how many he may have sent to McDowell, Pope has since admitted that he sent none to King. Early in 1863, when those words first met General King's eyes, he wrote at once to his late commander to have the er

to occupy, and there was nothing to prevent or disconcert his plans. A glance at the map will show that Jackson was really master of the situation — that neither General Lee nor himself had forced his command into a trap, but, on the contrary, he was at that time not even menaced; and if he had been, the gateways of retreat were wide open. His march had been made with such celerity, his flanks guarded with such consummate skill, that he Map: relative positions of forces at sunset. August 28, 1862. was in no hurry to execute those tactical movements which he recognized as essential to his safety and to the delivery of his heaviest blows. On one flank, Fitz Lee was as near to Alexandria as to Manassas Junction; and, on the other, Munford and Rosser were in advance of Bristoe. Jackson was resting — as a man full of life and vigor, ready to start into action at the first touch — but he rested in the consciousness of security. The Federal commander, around whose flank and rear fou<

Reno was ordered to march at the same time from Greenwich to the Junction, and Kearney was directed to make his way to Bristow Station, for Jackson, hard presare Gap, but with the remainder of his force he pushed on according to orders. Kearney drove Jackson's rear-guard out of Centreville late in the afternoon, Aug. 28, 1862. and the main body of the Confederates fled by way of the Sudley Springs road and Warrenton turnpike, See map on page 588, volume I. destroying the bridges and of the same material as that near the site of the Henry House, see page 607, volume I.) was this inscription: in memory of the patriots who fell at Groveton, August 28, 29, and 30, 1862. we are looking toward Manassas Junction, the place of which is indicated by the two birds.

derate steed the raw is established, and we call for a vigorous application of the lash in precisely that direction. We do not approve of sparing the beast, merely because basting him will please the Abolitionists. We are not afraid of pleasing them too well — they are not so easily satisfied. More than anything else, we want a restoration of our territory of which we have been plundered, and of our peace which has been wickedly disturbed! Give us back our great, prosperous and happy American Union! Give back to these wives and mothers the dear ones who are now risking their lives in this struggle! Give back to the honest mechanic the labor of which this Crime of Crimes has defrauded him! Give back to us the respect which we once inspired abroad! Restore the supremacy of the Laws!
