e General and his staff, accompanied by a large escort of cavalry, prepared to set out for the purpose of inspecting the field and the various troops encamped around. The sight was an imposing one. By-and-by we were joined by Generals Johnston, Evans, Jones, &c.,&c., and as we all rode along, the country people we encountered turned up their eyes in amazement, under the impression, I very believe, that we were all going to enter Washington! At each encampment the troops turned out, cheered, from the exhilarating draught, which, under such circumstances, must have been particularly agreeable. Later in the afternoon, and after visiting every locality of interest, such as the spots where Gen Bartow and other brave officers fell, Gen. Evans invited us all to dine at his headquarters. A very substantial repast was prepared, with copious accessories in the shape of good liquor, to which there can be no harm in saying we all did ample justice. For my part, I trust it will not be th

"All I can offer you is a blanket," said Gen. Beauregard to me as we were parting for the night; and certainly I did not expect nor desire more. I had to put up with the same solitary covering, and a carpet bag for a pillow, at the Junction "Hotel" on a former occasion, the night previous to my leaving Manassas, where I went to witness a rencontre that did not come off. So, with an oil-cloth under me and a blanket in which to enwrap myself, with the stars far torches. I should have luxuriated on the green sward as much as the spicure who courts the yielding softness of a downy couch. While my bed was preparing I turned out of tent, and perched myself on the garden fence, where I smoked my meerschaum like a philosopher, meantime ruminating on the eventful stampede of the "Grand Army" (7) on the pr

he battle- field — a fact, indeed, easily perceptible from the intolerable effluvia which greeted my nostrils. Here my reflections became solemn — for horror gives horrent shapes to thought — and the enormity of our civil war seized upon my mind with absorbing force — an internecine war for which there was no necessity, and one which has thrown all Europe into surprise and commotion. Good Heaven, thought I, and is it thus that the Great Republic has ended — the "Model Republic," of which Americans have been so justly proud, and which Monarchical nations have so long regarded with interest and respect? It was not long ere I arrived upon the spot where the mighty action was fought, which has shed glory on the Southern arms, and will give an European prestige to the Confederacy that perhaps it could not otherwise, or at least so readily, obtain. The country which a short time before had been so luxuriantly beautiful, now appeared desolated. --Rich corn crops had been trodden down

st, such as the spots where Gen Bartow and other brave officers fell, Gen. Evans invited us all to dine at his headquarters. A very substantial repast was prepared, with copious accessories in the shape of good liquor, to which there can be no harm in saying we all did ample justice. For my part, I trust it will not be the last time that I shall enjoy the gallant General's hospitality. Here I was introduced by General Beauregard to a wounded officer, Lieut. Cary, (the great grand son of Jefferson,) whose life being threatened by a Federal commander when in a helpless condition, he shot him to the earth! The fallen man remained in Lieut. Cary's embrace for an hour afterwards — the dead bound to the living! Nothing more of interest occurred during the day. As the shades of evening closed, I arrived at headquarters, when I sought relief in repose, for which my equestrian exercise had particularly disposed me. Early next morning I was on the wing and off for Richmond, a sadder but a

office, and his good fellowship and moribund figure forcibly reminded me of a London turtle-loving Lord Mayor. I was glad to get out of the church, for my eyes had grown weary and my heart pained at the sights I witnessed; which I could not have believed possible had I not occur demonstration of the fact. I rode to headquarters by the same route I had come, with the exception of passing over the battle-ground of the Bull Run, where few indications remained of the gory fight of Thursday, the 18th, beyond the torn-up ground and bullet marks in trees. It was a memorable journey--one never to be forgotten! I returned to headquarters rather fatigued; my mind, too, being replete with solemn impressions. Shortly afterwards, supper was announced, to which I repaired with anything but a vivid appetite. Gen. Beauregard questioned me as to the impressions I had formed during my dog's excursion, and I en deavored to satisfy the brave soldier so far as I was capable. Conversation turned

n sat down on the grass with several officers, smoked my pipe, and listened to sundry interesting reminiscences of the recent fight. Subsequently Col. Withers accompanied me to his marquese, where I was introduced to a wounded Federal officer, Col. Wood, of a Brooklyn regiment, to whom the utmost attention and kindness had been exhibited. That very morning — fully three days after the battle — the unfortunate sufferer was discovered in a neighboring thicket, whither he had crawled after beingessions — by anything, in fact, short of bloodshed?" "Indeed, yes, sir," he rejoined in a weak, tremulous voice. "Seeing that the same results must ultimately ensue, then how much more politic to have realized them without war than with it!"--Colonel Wood seemed overpowered by the kindness and hospitality shown to him by an enemy from whose hands he was led to expect no favor, and from whose heart no compassion. I am credibly informed that the wounded Federalists in our hospitals frequently we<

h. I continued my ride in company with Col. Chisholm, (visiting sundry hospitals, temporarily improvised, and depots for the reception of wagons, stores, &c., found on the field, which were placed under strong guard,) until I arrived at Gen. Longstreet's headquarters, at Centreville. Here luncheon was kindly prepared for us by the hospitable and brave soldier, whose name will long be remembered in connexion with the battle of Blackburn Ford, (at which he commanded,) as well as with that ofor a considerable time. This savory edible having been followed by a copious draught of brandy and water — very necessary to assist digestion and keep up the excusatory action of the body's surface, during a warm season especially--Gen.. Longstreet directed my attention to the little Episcopal Church on the hill, within a few yards of the camp, which he recommended me to visit. I did so after a little, and was perfectly horrified upon beholding the sacrilegious manner in which a building
