The command of this army was assigned to Major General John Pope. This cut off all reenforcements from McDowell to Mc-Clellan. In expectation of Jackson's arrival on the enemy's right, the battle was renewed at dawn, andMcDowell to Mc-Clellan. In expectation of Jackson's arrival on the enemy's right, the battle was renewed at dawn, and continued with animation about two hours, during which the passage of the creek was attempted, and our troops forced their way to its banks, where their progress was arrested by the nature of the stream and the resistance encountered.
