Yankee lies. Sawney, of the New York Herald, does not stand upon trifles. He says "the rebel army actually in action at Bull Run numbered close upon 50,000 men, well officered, well entrenched, protected by masked batteries, and abundantly supplied with artillery." This is a lie out of the whole cloth. The battle was fought upon unfortified ground; there was not an entrenchment or a masked battery within miles of it.

War is a big thing, and I desire to stand to the assertion. It matters not how Klubs and I chanced to be at the battle of Bull Run. We were there on business of my uncle Davy--and that's sufficient. Whilst Klubs and I were seated in a tree and indulging in loud huzzahs of general glorification at the defeat of the Federalists and the triumph of our arms, we were surprised by the appearance of half a dozen villainous looking Federal Zouaves, of the "pet lamb" style, who presented their pieces, and gave us choice of "cooning it" dow
