enemy had no sooner attacked General Bonham's line, than General Beauregard forwarded the following telegram to the President: Headquarters, Manassas, July 17th, 1861. The enemy has assailed my outposts in heavy force. I have fallen back on the line of Bull Run and will make a stand at Mitchell's Ford. If his force isy reinforcements, at the earliest possible instant, and by every possible means. G. T. Beauregard. Towhich the President answered: Richmond, July 17th, 1861. General G. T. Beauregard: We are making all efforts to reinforce you. Cannot send to day, but afterwards they will go regularly, daily, railroads permittons, Mississippi and Alabama, under orders. Jefferson Davis.

iminary part of General Beauregard's report of the battle of Manassas, and purporting to be the substance of the order sent to General Johnston, under date of July 17th, 1861, are not identically the words made use of in the order. That is evident. But who can deny that, though different in exact phraseology, they convey preciselnston's judgment, is further shown by the telegram already mentioned in Chapter VIII. of this book, but which we again offer to the reader: Richmond, July 17th, 1861. General Beauregard: You are authorized to appropriate the North Carolina regiment on its route to General Johnston. If possible, send to General Johnstneral. General Johnston's telegram to General Beauregard, of the same date, corroborates our conclusion. It read as follows: Winchester, Va., July 17th, 1861. General Beauregard, Manassas: Is the enemy upon you in force? J. E. Johnston. He was gathering all such information as might guide him in det

s (Colonel Chisolm among them), and by his telegram dated July 17th, had clearly announced his determination, if reinforced, to attack and crush the enemy. Before proceeding further, we think it our duty to add that General Johnston is certainly mistaken when he asserts that General Beauregard's telegram asking—we might almost say imploring—him to move on immediately, was only received on the 18th, when his answer to it is dated July 17th, and reads as follows: Winchester, Va., July 17th, 1861. General Beauregard, Manassas: Is the enemy upon you in force? J. E. Johnston. This shows conclusively how little General Johnston had thought of leaving Winchester, and how utterly improbable it is that he had planned a battle to be fought at Manassas, through a junction of his forces with those of General Beauregard. Does it not show, besides, how unwilling he was to move at all, unless assured that there was no exaggeration in General Beauregard's anticipation of a p
