It fell back upon the ford of Bull Run, situated between Sudeley Springs and the stone bridge, which had been discovered the preceding year by Sherman. It was now six o'clock in the evening. In checking the offensive movement of Longstreet, the gallant defenders of the Henry House had saved the Federal army from a terrible disaster. They held their ground until night came to spread her dark mantle over Pope's retreat. While Banks was bringing back the greatest portion of the baggage of the army from Bristow to Union Mills, the troops took advantage of the darkness to cross Bull Run; at daybreak they were entirely massed in the vicin

line from Jackson to Grand Junction, near the village of Bolivar. Abandoning Grand Junction, the Federals had posted themselves in the vicinity of this river; Sherman, with the six thousand men of his division, defended the upper course of the Mississippi at Memphis, through which he communicated with his chief. Grant, in ordivisions of Hamilton, Stanley, Davis and McKean, counted from twenty to twenty-two thousand men; the army of the Tennessee, reduced to the four small divisions of Sherman, McPherson, Ord and Hurlbut, had only eighteen thousand combatants left. The necessity of leaving Sherman at Memphis, and of defending against the guerillas the Sherman at Memphis, and of defending against the guerillas the depots and railway bridges through which supplies were conveyed to the army, reduced the active forces under Grant to less than thirty thousand men. Those of his adversaries were not quite so numerous. Van Dorn's army, composed of the divisions of Lovell and Breckenridge, numbered about fifteen thousand men. Price's troops, com

l authorities. In this anticipation the Secretary of War, on the 19th of October, forwarded special instructions to General Sherman, who was to command the land-forces.

Being called to the command of Port Royal, which Sherman had left in the month of April, one of his first acts was to issue a proclamation far exceeding in extravagance that whises, for it affected the question of slavery in its most vital points. We have seen that Mr. Cameron had authorized General Sherman to organize the negroes into squads and companies.
