Their places were soon supplied by fresh troops, and it was apparent that the Federal commander had now become aware of the situation of affairs, and had turned upon General Jackson with his whole force.

The enemy halted at Bristoe. General Jackson's force being much inferior to that of General Pope, it became necessary for him to withdraw from Manassas and take a position west of the turnpike road from Warrenton to Alexandria, where he could more readily unite with the approaching column of Longstreet. Having fully supplied the wants of his troops, he was compelled for want of transportation to destroy the rest of the captured property. This was done during the night of the twenty-se

Owing to the condition of his troops and other circumstances, his progress was slow, and he did not reach the battle-field at Sharpsburgh until some time aft should be ready again to offer battle.
