We had now got to a point where Bull Run makes a considerable bend above Stone Bridge, and I halted as we had not observed any movement from the main line. Nothing

His whole effective force, however, did not probably much exceed the estimate made at the time of the conference, as the measles and typhoid fever, which were prevailing, had reduced very much the strength of the regiments, especially among the Virginia troops which Were entirely new. To reinforce him, Holmes' brigade of two regiments had arrived from Aquia Creek, and Johnston's troops were arriving by the railroad, after much delay by reason of accidents or mismanagement on the part of the railroad officials. On the 20th we were not molested by the enemy, and on the morning of the 21st the position of Beauregard's troops was pretty much the same as it had been on the 18th, to wit: Ewell at Union Mills; D.

the heavy firing was, there was a direction at the foot in very nearly these words,--Send early to me. This information was given to me some time between 12 M. and 1 P. M. In his report General Beauregard states that I did not receive this order until 2.00 P. M. This is a mistake. I could not possibly have reached the battlefield at the time I did, if the reception of the order had been delayed until 2.00 P. M. The note did not state to what point I was to go, but I knew that General BReauregard's position had been near Mitchell's Ford and that he was to be found somewhere to our left. I sent word for Hays to move up as rapidly as possible, directed Kemper to get ready to move, sent a message to General Longstreet requesting the return of the companies of the 24th, and directed my Acting Adjutant General, Captain Gardner, to ride to Mitchell's Ford and ascertain where General Beauregard was, as well as the route I was to pursue. The messenger sent to General Longstreet r

Besides this, General Beauregard's troops had been augmented, since the ad on the morning of the 21st the position of Beauregard's troops was pretty much the same as it had on, Colonel Chisolm, a volunteer aide of General Beauregard, rode up and informed me that General BeGeneral Beauregard's orders were that the whole force should cross Bull Run to the south side.

Colonel Cocke now came up and joined me with the 19th Virginia Regiment. As soon as my men had rested a little, I directed the troops, on my right, of my purpose to move in their front with the request not to fire on us. I moved forward followed by Cocke's regiment, crossing Young's branch and the Warrenton Pike to the north side. When we got into the valley of Young's braoute he had taken. Moreover the country was entirely unknown to me. Stuart and Beckham had crossed the run above me, and Cocke's regiment had also moved towards a ford above where I was.

After being in position somed could be easily taken. I was informed by him that Jones had crossed the Run and was on the hills beyond McLemy two regiments; and in fact much later in the day, Jones' brigade on moving against this battery sustained a ut McLean's Ford, which I supposed to be produced by Jones' brigade returning to its original position. Fearinaken for the enemy and fired upon, I rode rapidly to Jones' position and found some of his men forming in the rey were preparing. As soon as this was done, General Jones asked me if I had received an order from GeneraGeneral. The note, which was in the hands of one of Jones' staff officers, was sent for and shown to me.

Hays was then ordered to move down the Run to McLean's Ford and return in that way to the pturning to its original position. Fearing that Hays' regiment might be mistaken for the enemy and fe General was looking with his field glasses at Hays' regiment, which was advancing from the directineral. The day was excessively hot and dry. Hays' regiment was a good deal exhausted by the marcg range rifles or minie muskets. Barksdale and Hays came up rapidly and formed as directed, Barksdale in the centre and Hays on the left.
