tes to purchase supplies for the army at Manassas in the fertile country adjacent, but sent others to gather them in the rear of the army, and forward them in daily doles, at heavy expense, by the Orange and Alexandria Railway, exposed to the vicissitudes of war. He allowed no deposits of supplies to be established near the army; and on the day of the battle, Beauregard had only a single day's rations for his troops. Statement of General Thomas Jordan, then chief of Beauregard's staff, in Harper's Magazie, XXXI. 610. Jordan says: Flour bought by speculators in the Valley and London was carried to Richmond, sold to the Subsistence Bureau, and transported back to Manassas. For weeks afterward this state of things continued, and it was impossible for the army to move forward with safety, under such circumstances. Late in August, Johnston wrote to Beauregard: It is impossible, as the affairs of the commissariat are now managed, to think of any other military course than a strictly

eral Bragg, and sought repose and health for a few days at Bladen Springs, in Alabama. Jefferson Davis, whose will was law in the Confederacy, on hearing of this, directed Bragg, his favorite, to take permanent command of that army, and he passionately declared that Beauregard should not be reinstated, though all the world should urge him to the measure. Notes of an interview of a Congressional Committee with Davis, who requested the restoration of Beauregard, cited by General Jordan, in Harper's Magazine, XXXI., 616.
