The Daily Dispatch: August 5, 1861., [Electronic resource], Effect of the defeat in Washington. (search)
Effect of the defeat in Washington. --The New Orleans Picayune publishes a letter from Washington, date July 22d, from which we make an extract: Several of our citizens who have returned here from Bull Run, represent the sight of our defeated army — more especially the dead and wounded — as the most terribly fearful they ever saw. The "horrors of war" were depicted in all their hideousness, and the sight was one never to be forgotten. There are many here who now look for a forward march of the Southerners upon this city, and the timid are much distressed in consequence.

rgeon of the Ohio troops, came and advised the spectators to leave, though unable to give any satisfactory reason for his advice. Very soon, however, the eyes of the civilians saw a sight that was not in the bills, and which inspired them with a sudden desire for leave-taking. They saw, in the distance, men tumbling with great energy the contents of wagons into the road, and whipping the horses forward with great fury, while others were cutting the traces, mounting the horses and putting Washington ward with all the speed they could command. But, worse than all, they beheld further back an immense body of cavalry, with drawn sabres, approaching and which they knew were not Federal troops. Citizen Toledo put for the ravine after his buggy, but could not find it, as it had been removed. When he came across it, he found it occupied by a Mr. Eggleston, or some other Cincinnatian, and he was soon in. He had to go up a small acclivity to get into the road. When he reached it, who s
