Comparison ami contrast aro fruitful

Had there Iwen no “Bull Hun” bat
tle, tho valiant Yankee-Doodles might
have sttpjMMod McClellan*s .victory at
"Roaring Uni*” a stupendous exhibi
tion of valor. But when ''Roaring
Run”, is placed by tho side of “Dull
Run/’ even ns befogged a mutt ns
finely, must confos* it is as a mole hill
to a mountain.
McClellan, indeed, seems ti have
won a vast reputation on very easy
terms, and Gen. .Scott may well turn
to his grave with a melancholy sonso of
tho vanity of earthly glory, when a life
of fame closes by a nation's frowns,
their; hopes resting now on nn ambi
tious youth. We ltavo no sympathy
with Get).- .Scott—never admired his
character, but always admitted his
ability. Ills military fame up to July
tho 21st was high, too great, perhaps,
when tried by comparison with men
of his own rank. . But Napoleon even
found a Wellington and Scott has en
countered Beauregard, and about the
same story must bo written in reference
to Waterloo and Manassas. One of
tho Northern writers describing the
roccut battle say«: "It is Waterloo
over again, with Johnson for Blucher and
1‘ut torso u for Grouchy." This paral
lel! Is imperfect, as it was meant, for
Johnston was in tho battle ail tho -time
—indeed, his division mainly won tho
day, hut a portion of Johnson's com
mand did not arrive until the very
crisis of the engagement. Tills was
led* by Gen. K. K. Smith, and he is tiie
Blucher of Manassas. Patterson an
swers very well to Grouchy, if the
point of comparison bo a failure to ef
fect the object* to which they were di
rected. Grouchy could do nothing with
Blucher—Patterson could do no more
with Johnson. But here the agree
ment ends, for Grouchy was not nt
Waterloo, while Patterson was at Ma
nassas, but acting on tho principle that
"They Unit (don't) fight and run away
May live to fight anotlicr day.”
He kept nr n safe distance, and so
had no fighting, oven less flighting than
his comrades lit arms. It is certainly
wise when running is the exorcise to be
porfcriued to get the truck and a good
start. Patterson was exceedingly for
tunate in this, Imt it is a little hard
that ho should be dishonored instead ot
rewarded for winning the raco.
McDowell lost the fight, but Patter
son certainly won the race, and in tills
feat of activit), he has astonished no
body, for his exploits in Mexico had
prepared us nil to expect that in run
ning, tiie Pennsylvania troops could
dhtauca the world in a fair field with
nn even start. 11) had nothiitg to loso
but hi. ropututlon for cowiirdioo, amt I aflbotlonate brother and (iiUbiul friend,
ho was determined to keep that.—
Scott and McDowell had much to lose;
and lost everything—honor, courage
and even after a desporato eilbrt in
running, lost tho race, though they
pushed Patterson awfully in tiie flight,

Beauregard's lines, as we understand,
was precisely after Wellington, the na
ture of tho ground being very similar.
Wellington's army, when ordered up
ou tiiat great day, was in a convex
form. Between him and Napoleon
was a ravine or valley answering to Bull
Run, on tho other sido, of which wero
placed in array, 75 thousand French
troops, tho host in tho world—victor*
so often that victory was always ex
pected.
Wellington had about tho same uuin-
ter, probably 5 thousand leas, of these
30,000 wero British, tho rest Belgians
or Allies.
Napoleon had 300 pieces of artillery,
Wellington probably leas, but he had
vast body of cavalry stationed in
the roar cf bis infantry.
Napoleon’s cavalry wero strong, but
wero nearly all killed in their dospernto,
but fruitless efl’ort to break tho lines
of the infantry.
Scott's cavalry did not attempt much,
except to see in tho retreat which was
tho fastest horse It was about as much
Bcaurcgnrd’s horso-mon could do to
koop up'with the sivjft footed infantry
they encountered .no "foenton Ivor

Napoleon stood on an eminence and

The Feelings on the Field of liattle.
The corrc*|»ondent of tho Charleston
Courier gives the following dcscriptlbn
of the feelings of a soldier for the first
time on a battle field t
No poison who was notti|>on the
ground and nn ovo witness of the stir
ring scenes which there, transpired entv
begin to comprehend front a description
the terrible realities of a battle; and
even those who participated are compe
tent to speak only of their own person
al experience. Where friends and foes
are falling by scores, and every species
if missile was flying through tho air,
threatening each instant to send one
into eternity, littlo time is aflorded for
mow observation or reflection than is
required to preserve porsoitnl safety.—
The scene is ono of the most cxcitleg
and oxhiliroting that can l*e conceived.
Imagine a regiment (Missing you at
“double quick,” the men cheering with
enthusiasm, their teeth set, their eyc-s
flashing, and their whole in a frenzy of
resolution. You ucuoinputty them to
thofluld. They halt. An Aid-do-Cuntp
passes to or from tho commanding Gen
eral. The clear voices of the officers
ring along the line in tones of passion
ate eloquence ; their words short, thrill
ing and electric. Tho men foci like
giants, ‘The word is given to march,
and the body move into uction. For
the first titnu in your life you listen to
tho whiszittg of iron hail. Grape and
canister fly into tho ranks, bombs burst
ovorhcunC and the fragment* fly all
mound you. A friend falls; perhaps a
dozen or twenty of your comrades Ho
wounded or dying nt your fee*; a
straugo involuntary shrinking steals
over you,which It U impossible to resist.
You feel inclined neither to advance
nor recede, but are spell bmmd by the
contending emotions of the moral and
physical mail. Tho cheok blaodion
the lip quivers, ami the eye almost hes
itates to look upon the scene. In this
attitude you may, perhaps, bo ordered
to stand an hour inactive, havoc mean
while marking ib< footsteps with blood
on every side. Finally the oitler is
S lvett to advance, to fire, or to ehnrgo.
.ml now, what a metamorphosis.—
With your first shot you becomo a new
man. l'ersonal safety is your least con
cern. Fear bus no existence in your
bosom. Hesitation gives way before uti
uncontrollnblo desire to rush into the
thickest of the fight. Tho dead am!
dying around you, if- they receive a
piissiii** thought,only serve to stimulate
you to revenge. You become cool and
deliberate, and watch tliectfcct of bul
lets, the showers of bursting shells, the
passage of camion hulls as they rake
their murderous channel* through your
ranks ? the plunging of wounded
horses, the agonies of the dying, and
the clash of contending arms which
follows the dashing charge, with a feel
ing so callous by surrounding circum
stances, tiiat. your mhiI seems dead
to every sympathizing and selfish
thought.
Such is tho spirit which carries the
soldier through tho Held of battle. But
when tho excitement ha* passed, when
the roll of musketry has coased, tho
noisy voices of the camion aro stilled,
the dusky pall of sulphurous smoke
lias risen from tho field, and you stroll
over tho theatre of carnage, bearing
tho groans of the wounded,discovering
hero, shattered almost beyond recog
nition, the form of soiuu dear friend
whom only an hour before you met in
the full flush of lil'o ami happiness;
tliero another, perforated by a bullet;
a third with a limb shot away ; a fourth
with his face disfigured ; a fifth torn ut
most to fragments ; a sixth a headless
corpse; the ground ploughed up and
stained with .blood; human brains
Kplashod uiour.d; limbs without bodies,
and bodies without limbs, scattered
here and there, utid the same picture
duplicated scores of times, then you
begin to realize the honors of war and
experience a reaction of nature. The
hcuit opens itr flood gates, humanity
asset ts herself again, and you begin to
feel and uot more the man and loss the
demon. Friend and foe alike now re
ceive your kindest ministering*. The
oneiny who but a short time before,
full ot hate, you were doing all in your
J Kilter to kill, you now exert to save.—
fou supply him with water to quench
Iris thirst, with food to sustain his
strength, and with sympathizing words
to soothe hi* troubled mind. All tiiat
is litiinnu or charitable in your nature
now lises to the surface, and • you are
animated by Hint spirit of mercy
“which blessed) him tiiat give* and
him that takes." A battlefield is emi
nently u place that tries men's souls.

spirit; they were far moro .numerous

ration of a grand cause, ami nothing
could resist tiieir impetuosity and hero

Hay- A letter from Richmond, snyst
As to our own wounded and sick,
none of them are in tiie hospital; all
in private families, and the Richmond
ladies complain that they ounnot got
them to nurso. They say the cars start
to bring them to Richmond, but are
met at every station by ladies in car
riages who are begging to be permitted
to tako care of the wounded, anxious
to do something for those who have
j rotecto their home*—a grateful peo
ple riso to do them homage.
ii U’lU^cuoc that tho mighty warriors,
dropping their guns, throwing away
tin ir swords, casting olVthoir knapsack*
with wing* on their feet, were flying
with the swiftness of tho wind towards
the Federal Capital.
The hoary tidings struck terror into
the heart of Lincoludom. Trembling
ized upon the arrogant nml deluded
topic. Thoy reeled under tho terri-
...e blow. The upheaval of nn earth
quake would not have caused greater
dismay and consternation. Their sun
hud gone down ut noon. Hope hud
been extinguished whilo shining with
tiie greatest brightness. Their army,
composed of their bravest moti aud
best soldiers, commanded by their
most skillful and accomplished officers,
hud not only been driven frcin the
field by troops whose couago and man
hood they hnd laughed at, but thrown
into confusion, had run pell-mell bo
foro tho whizzing balls und flashing steel
of the hated and despised Houthcrners.
They looked for victory, and behold
defeat; they dream of money, and
lunds, and rensual delights, - and they
nro glad to osenpo with their lives; they
bogin tiie day with thoir faces turned
toward* Richmond, and end it with
their faces set as a flint lor Washington;
in tho morning they nro told that the
victory they have achieved marks the
beginning of tho downfall of tho young
Confcdoraoy; in tho afternoon tho same
sheets that made this glorious an
nouncement declare tlmt tiie rebel
lion ha* augmented its strength by the
prestige or a great victory, and Hie
lugubrious noiiuicn assure the discour

We almost pity tho creatures of tho
despot and their miserable victims,
when we licuro tiie sad note* of their
