McClellan (search for this): article 1
Buttler's own report, brought six regiments into the field — that is to say, at least 5,000 men — that there are now, in this city, prisoners representing thirty-eight regiments engaged in the battle of Mannassa, all of which attacked Johnston's force, never numbering 15,000 men — and that they were assisted by ten thousand regulars. But there is no use in boasting. The thing will be tried over again, and then we shall see where the manhood lies. We ask only one favor, and that is, that McClellan will not boast of overwhelming numbers before he sets out and then attempt to cover the shame of defeat by lying as McDowell did. At Bethel a company of North Carolina infantry jumped over the breastwork and tried to charge the Yankees. They ran before our men could get within fifty yards of them.--Our men at Manassas made seven distinct bayonet charges, always with the same result. The Yankees never would wait for them.--Hand to hand! Pooh! Catch a Yankee at that. There is one ki<
Wilson (search for this): article 1
following paragraph: "Northern Superiority in Arms.--The late naval battle at Hatteras Inlet demonstrates the superiority of Northern arms and Northern prowess. The accurate aim of the shells, considering the roughness of the sea, is surprising. The same superiority was observable in the sinking of the privateer Petrel by a signal shell, and at Bull Run. There and elsewhere the enemy have met our troops in superior numbers, yet their loss is invariably more than ours. It was so at Wilson's creek, before Manassas Junction, and in Western Virginia. Our superiority of numbers and of armament at Hatteras Inlet is the exception to the general rule; but it does not take away from the merit of precision and the skill which has distinguished our troops and naval officers throughout this and every engagement since the war began, wherever there were competent commanders in charge. In hand-to-hand fighting, and in the use of cannon, as well as in the rifle, the North has established

t Bull Run. We all know how that was, and consequently we all know what to think of Yankee superiority. As for the affair in Western Virginia, it consisted in the defeat and capture of 243 men by three thousand Yankees. In hand-to-hand fighting, the Yankees have never given a chance to test their manhood. They have invariably fled before we could cross bayonets with them. Capt. Dooley, with his Montgomery Guards, tried to reach them with the bayonet at the combat of Bull Run, and Capt. Boggs tried to do the same. They had as well have tried to charge a flock of wild geese.--The Yankees were nowhere, long before they could get to them, nor was there any chance of getting near them. To put a stop at once to all these lies about superior numbers on our side, we will state that at Bethel there were on our side one North Carolina regiment, about 120 Howitzers, and four companies of Virginia infantry, numbering in all 1,160 men, of whom not 800 were engaged, while the Yankees, ac
Mathias (search for this): article 1
In hand-to-hand fighting, and in the use of cannon, as well as in the rifle, the North has established its superiority, and the result of the recent action on the coast of North Carolina will be to give increased confidence to our troops, and show the Powers of Europe that they ought not to arrive at hasty conclusions from the disaster at Bull Run." The Yankee ships during the present war have repeatedly engaged our batteries on shore — at Sewell'pand Pig's points, at Aquia creek, at Mathias' point and elsewhere. Yet, until the affair at Hatteras, they never succeeded in killing or crippling a single man, while our men slaughtered them by wholesale. At Hatteras, they kept out of range of the few guns we had mounted, and shelled us at will. Their aim not being disturbed by the fear of casualties, they fired with more accuracy than usual. The greatest coward on earth can take deadly aim from behind a badge. Still we are called on to admire this feat, as a proof of Yankee man
