While the question was in debate, my boy, the beloved General of the Mackerel Brigade arrived with his trunk and umbrella, from Paris, and having caused it to be telegraphed to all the reliable morning journals, that the Confederacy was now in a fair way to be captured alive, he at once took measures to cut off the retreat of the latter. Capt. William Brown, with company 3, regiment 5, was at once ordered to construct a pontoon bridge across the river some miles below, and watch it vigilantly day and night; Captain Rob Shorty and Colonel Wobert Wobinson, with the Anatomical cavalry, were dispatched to take possession of a railroad reading to Manassas; whilst Captain Samuele Smith, with the balance of the Conic Section, was commanded to make a detour of three hundred miles, and endeavor to reach the invaded house before midnight set in.
