General Pope and Washington remained cut off, and nothing was heard of him except via Falmouth.--Editors. Had Franklin been even at Centreville, or had Cox's and Sturgis's divisions been as far west as Bull Run on that day, the movement of Jackson on Manassas Junction would not have been practicable.

During all this time there was sharp fighting all along the front, the struggle being on the part of the C climb, and the ground there was rough and rocky, a fortress in itself and stoutly held.
