Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 2. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 14 (search)
A rebel's letter.--The following letter was taken by one of the pickets of Col. Gordon's Regiment, (the Massachusetts Second.) It shows that the privates as well as the Generals of the rebel army can tell big stories: camp Jackson, Manassas Junction July 23, 1861. Dear mother and friends:--I am safe yet, and have nothing of any consequence to complain of, which is more than many a fellow-soldier can say. I suppose you have heard what an awful battle we had down here last Sunday. I was not in it — as it so happened I could not get with my regiment, and glad I am I was not. This morning I went out on the battle-field, and, hard-hearted as you term me, I was horror-struck at the sight. Men (Yankees) lying around in every direction, dead and wounded. I suppose I must have seen at least 500 men and 200 horses — some places as many as six horses lying side by side. It is supposed their loss is over 5,000 men killed and wounded, and they took somewhere near 1,000 live Yan

glish officer on the battle of Manassas plains. Richmond, Aug. 4. To the Editor of the Dispatch: dear Sir: The enclosed letter, which I have just received from an English officer, who took part in the famous fight on the 21st ult., may be of interest to your readers. I have, therefore, great pleasure in placing it at your service. Very truly yours, S. Phillips day, Special correspondent of the London Morning Herald and the Morning Chronicle. Headquarters Confederate army, Manassas Junction, July 29, 1861. my dear day: The accounts which you read in the Richmond papers about the great battle which has just come off, are not in the least exaggerated. You may give them verbatim to the London Press. I could never have contemplated that such a terrible disaster would have befallen the Northern arms. Their army was well appointed, well organized, and provided with a splendid artillery, the entire of which fell into our hands. Wheat's battalion, to which I was attached a
Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 2. (ed. Frank Moore), Mr. Julius Bing's Adventures. (search)
Mr. Julius Bing's Adventures. Washington, Thursday, Aug. 1, 1861. Mr. Julius Bing, a German by birth, a British subject by naturalization, and a litterateur by profession, arrived here to-night by the 6 o'clock Alexandria boat, from Manassas Junction, via Richmond and Fredericksburg. His story is so interesting that we give it with unusual fulness. Mr. Bing went over to Bull Run on the morning of the battle in a carriage with Senator Foster of Connecticut, and Representative Ely of New York. In the melee of the retreat, he became separated from his companions, and was making his way through the woods when he came suddenly upon a party of rebel soldiers, who took him prisoner. Luckily he soon encountered two old social acquaintances, Col. Lay, son-in-law of Judge Campbell, who was formerly one of Gen. Scott's aides, but is now colonel of an Alabama regiment, and in some position on Gen. Beauregard's staff, and Major McLean of Maryland. They promised him an early pr
