General Eppa Hunton at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. Statement that he saved the Confederate Army from defeat. A writer signing himself C contributed to the Prince William Times of July, 1904, the following interesting story of the first battle of Manassas: The writer of this has read and heard so many conflih being on the lookout, came to his rescue, and saved the lambs in short order. Now, to the point. Who saved the Confederates from a disastrous surprise on July 21, 1861? I will endeavor to prove that General Hunton was the man. The people in the vicinity of the battlefield were in possession of information that a battle wahe advance of the army through a signal station that he had established a day or two before on Hooe's Hill, below Manassas, with what I saw and know.

General Johnston was on his left, with his line thrown back at something like a right angle below the stone bridge, to protect the left flank of the army. Jackson's brigade was placed on the left of Hampton, Bartow and Bee, which commands had previously taken positions on the field, and General Jackson made the following disposition of his force: The Rockbridge Artillery, under the Rev.

ssioned colonel, clad in his regimentals, with his infant child in his arms, dedicated his own life and the life of his child to God and his country. The next day he left for the scene of action, and the army then gathering around Manassas. Being a thorough soldier and accomplished tactician, Colonel Carrington aided most efficiently in drilling and disciplining the 18th Virginia regiment—one of the finest bodies of men that ever marched to battle on any field, or in any country—until July 21, 1861, when the first great battle, there upon the plain of Manassas, where the South triumphed gloriously, Colonel Carrington received the first baptism of fire, and bore himself as become a Virginia soldier and a Southern patriot. Afterwards Colonel Carrington served with gallantry in every campaign, and was in most of the battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia. He bore a conspicuous part at Williamsburg. At Seven Pines, one of the hottest battles of the war, and where the regi
