Maj. O'co. Henry C. Corbin, former
idoutant general of the army, and now i
:n Charge of thc military division of ?
the Atlantic, with headquarters at j
.Governor's Island, New York, will bo
in supreme command, and the two di

''Jen. Thomas H. Barry, Col. James
llegan of the Ninth infantry and Col.
SF. A. Smith of the Eighth infantry
vi'll be in command of the brigades of
?tho Second division.
The Fir?t division, under Gen.
.Grant, will occupy Manoeuvres camp,
'No. 1, near Manassas, and will wear
'the old style blue flannel blouses,
S7hile the enemy, the Second divi (ion,
?under Gen. Bell, will bo encamp- d at
Thoroughfare, more than ten mileu
away, and will be uniformed iu khaki.
During the five days that the ma
noeuvres are in progress, problems of
vital importance in modern warfare
?will be worked out, and in order that
tho regu^r and militia troops engaged
may derive the greatest and most last
ing good from the op?rations, condi
tions of aotual armed conflict will be
approximated to the hearest possible
degree.
Baring the engagement between the
Blues and the Browns, as the oppos
ing forces will be designated for pur
(poses of brevity, the speotaou'iar fea
?tures that distinguished the grappling
of armies in former times, the dssh of
cavalry against artillery, the bayonet
-ohcrgc in dose order against infantry
?artTODched j the rush across the shot
.awept open, will all be saorifioed to
tine business features of the present
slay warfare.
The army of 30,000 men will not be
.sent to the manoeuver camps for pur?
[poseo of military display, nor to work
.out problems of warfare that became
?j>reotically obsolete with the advent of
*he small bore, high powdered maga
sine arm, the deadly machine gun and
the powdered long range siege gun in
?ase by all armies at the present time.
They will be sent to work out essen
tially modern problems of wsr that
/lake?ato consideration all of the mod
ern .onlines of destruction and the
-ohoage ic military operations necessi
tated by thoir use.
?The army officers who have been
designated to serve as umpires during
the manoeuvers have received their
> instructions along this line, and the
military commander who, during the
manoeuvers, shall lead his command
vu gallant charge or desperate assault,
according to the old standard, will
find that he and his men have proba
bly advanced through a zone of theo
retical destruction, and that, on pa
per, his command bas been annihila
ted.,
*^i'??Htcuig"h omoers of the army who
' ale now engaged in working out the
details of the manoeuvers are satisfied
that when, after five days of fighting,
of mar oh and of countermarch, of
night attack and armed surprise, the
regulara and the militia rest on their
?rms, they will have a better idea of
the general scheme of war than they
?aeuld possibly obtain ia any other
way. And they believe, toe, that the
laen of the Bluaa and of the Browns,
?fur they have listened for days and
wights to the roar of artillery bom

The ambulanoe, medical and signal
corps of the militia organizations will
I aooompany the troops from their
States and participate in tho opera
tions.
The manoeuvers are also rendered
particularly interesting and important
for sentimental and historical reasons
by the fact that the conflict of the
Blues and the Browns will be waged
on the battlefield of Bull Ruo- where
the first important engagement of the
Civil war was fought and where the
UQiOu forcsi met defeat.
The area of operations of the union
and Confederate forces before and dur
ing the Bull Bun engagements was
bounded by Centerville on the east,
Groveton on the west, Sudley Springs
on tho north and Manassas on the
south, and it is to this famous square
that the manoeuvers will be oonfiued.
Officers of the army who have been
at Manassas and thoroughfare recent
ly, laying out the oampsof the various
divisions and brigades, say that the
battlefield itself and the country
round-about bas ohanged very little
eince Civil war days-so little, in
faot, that the maps used by Beaure
gard, Johnson and MoDowell in July,
1861, and those used later by Jackson,
Longstreet, Lee and Pope at the sec
ond battle of Bull Run in August,
1862, would still serve to guide the
opposing armies of the Blues and the
Browns through thc woods and bills,
pastures and fields of Prince William
County to-day.
The battleground takes its name
from Bull Ruo, a muddy oreek that
floss from thc Bul! Bun mountains
to Aquia oreek. At last the oonfliot
that was waged on this territory is
generally known as the battle of Bull
Bun, although in all the officiai re
ports of the Confederate generals en
gaged it is spoken of as the battle of
Manassas. It is interesting hereto;
note that all thtongh the Civil war th?
federal commanders referred to their
battles by the name ef some natural
obj oct--s Ire am or river or mountain
or road-near tho SCOQO of action,
I valle the Confederates called their
? battles after the name of the nearest
town. '.
The people who live Jn Menasses
and Groveton and the surrounding
towns always speak of the battle of
Manassas. Many of them lived there
when tho bat vie was fought, and some
. >!' them wot* ?it? Confederate uiiifor?i
at b< ti. epnlhVl? o? the Hull Hun
ii-!.i.
One of tUo.*e xUo live in Grovetou
now ?iud who will see the Blues and
the Browns manoeuver over the his
torie country is Lucinda I'ogan. She
i- SI, but her recollection of both bat
tler of Bull Hun is a-j clear and vivid
as if the conflicts had occurred yes
terday instead of more than 1?) years
ago.
j Mrs. Dogan was ordered trom her
home in (j rove ton hy one of Jackson's
officers on thc morning of August lili,
au'l before she had been gone a quar
ter of au hour the artillery duels of
the opposing armies had begun and
solid shot an?' shell were crashing
through her house. Mrs. I'ogau re
turncd to her home after the with
drawal of Pope's forces and assisted
the soldiers in cariug for the wounded
and burying the dead.
I In fact, it was on the Dogan faru,
that the severest fighting of the see.
I ond battle occurred. A short time
before the Civil war a number ol
northern capitalists started to build ?
railroad from Gainesville northeast tc
Lecsburg. Thc roadway had beci
graded, the low ground lilied in ant
cuts made, when thc war was begun
and it was along the line of this roac
that Jackson formed his command fo
the second fight.
The Hue of the road can be clearl;
seen at the present time, although th
cuts are somewhat filled in and th
course of thc road ia sparsely wooded
The cut where thc Union and Confed
crate troops fought hand ta hand wit!
bayonets and clubbed muskets is onl,
about an eighth of a mile from th
Hogan house.
Several churches aud many farm
houses in -the neighborhood were dt
stroyed during the Civil war engage
meats, and most of them have bee
restored on their original foundation
And some others, which were not s
badly damaged at the time, or whict
for ons reason or another, have nc
nince been repaired, still bear scars c
tbe battles in the marks of shot an
shell.
Groveton is aboat a mile west, c
the Warrenton pike, from the pivot;
field of the first battle of Bull Rui
and from a hill a few rods from tl
Dogan house a fine view can be o'
tained of the Henry house and tl
Henry field, where the Union advam
form the direction of Sudley was fir
checked and where, later, the pan
first seized the troops.
Sudley Springs, where McDowc
crossed Bull Run creek' in his frui
less effort to take Beauregard in tl
rear, is the same quiet little haml
that it was in war days-even quiete
iu fact, for in ante-bellum times tl
waters of Sudley's sulpher sprin
were widely known throughout t'
South, and the place had many vii
tors at certain seasons of the yet
A solid shot from a Union batter
which made a breach in the walls
the Sudley meeting house, has be
kept as a relic by members of the co
gregation. After both battles of Bi
Run the meeting house was used ai

churo boa in the vicinity.
At Centreville, not far away, s
also in the sone of the Civil war ec
fit cte, the old earthworks erected
that time oso plainly be seen, and t
town has undergone very little ohsoj
The famous four ohimney hon
which was McDowell's headquar'
before the first battle of Bull Ku
in ruine, but the home where u<
Pope made his headquarters after I
eeoond battle is in sn excellent st
of preservation and is oooupied at I
present time.
Manassas has undergone gres
change in the period following (
Civil war than any of tte other ton
in the battlefield ares. In 1861 it ?
merely a collection of houses at I
junction of the old Orange and Al*
andria and Manassas Gap rnilroa
while now it has a population of ab<
2,000 and is the oounty seat of Prit
William County.

historical as well as a military point
of view, and 1 fancy tliey will spend
a good deal of their .^parc time in
gathering Civil war relic* from tho old
battleground."
ntiy Kate Don't Smoke.
Senator Bate, cf Tennessee is a pas
sionate lover of tobacco, yet the cigar
he carries in his mouth is always un
lighted, says the I'eroia .Journal.
No, he is not taking the eure, he ex
plains it in this way:
It seems that during the war, Sena
tor (then General Hate, was riding by |
i thc side of his brother during a bat?
! tlc. lie felt thc longing for a smoke
i coming on, and so he drew a lindy
! flavored Havana cigar from his pocket,
i He stretched a mate!; against thc sad
! die, and was just about to light thc
i weed, when a shell whizzed suddenly
by, aud the quick rush of air accom
panying the shell put the match out.
I Ile was about to strike another, when
he discovered that the shell had made
its mark, and there lay the dead body
of his brother. To this day he has a
sort of superstition regarding lighted
cigars, and this explains why he only
indulges in a "dry" smoko.
LYING.
The word at the head of this article
is an unpleasant word. However, the
thing itself is unpleasant, and it
would be impossible to find pleasant
woido that would actually describe it.
In thia short article it will be pos
sible do so little more than describe
some of the many forms of deception.
The mest obvious form is down
right lying. Men will lie for money.
O^ers like Peter, who denied his
Master, will lie from fear. Still oth
ers will lie for show. ?naniaB and
Saphira belonged to this class.
They wished to be thought very be
nevolent.
Political campaigns are most fruit
ful sources of this sin. The friends
of a candidate paint him altogether in
bright oolors, whereas his opponents
pioture him altogether in dark oolors.
Both pictures cannot be true. There
is falsehood somewhere. But these
exaggerations are not so bad as the
falsehoods that are oiraulated for the
purpose of injuring an opposing can
didas. This praotioe oannot be too
severely denounced. A man who will
purposely oiroul?te false reports about
his opponent, or whose friends do it
with his ssnstion, is not worthy of the
voten of his fellow-oitizens, and he
should be left in private life.
Another form of this sin is making
false returns of property. That this
is done is notorious. In one of the
oountics in the upper, part of tho State
an investigation was made a few years
ago. It was fonnd that the real es
tate that had been bought in the past
tea years had been returned on an
average at just about one-fourth what
was paid for it. Many people never
think of returning money at all. A
substantial oitizen in one of the best
oona ties of the State told the writer
that it was ourrently reported in his
county that only two persons in the
< whole county returned money. I oan
not think that this report was alto
! gether true, yet the praotioe of not ra
^mmM-mmoammwmt-mmmm ?
turning money i.? far too common.
Thut, top, aller no oath Ima been
bigned that all property, money iu
eluded, had been properly returned.
This bin like Cain's cries unto the
Lord for vengcnance.
A no' uer form of the sin consists in
assigning a proliable reason for the
true reabr?;. One neighbor cicusea
himself from visiting on the grourd
that he did not have time. Now, ia j
all probability, this was not thc true
reason. The true retson was that he
did not wish tc make thc visit. This
was a plain falsehood. He declared
that one thing kept him from visiting
whcreaB wholly a diifercnt thing was
the cause.
Our artificial society is a fruitful
?ource ot insi ncerity. Two deadly
enemies meei at the homo of a mutual
friend and they must profess to be
very much ?elighted to sec each oth
er. A caller is announced, and one
secs a wry face. Hut in the parlor
only extravagant expressions of de
light arc heard. It is very important
to be polite, but it is of more import
ance to be true.
Many people -would not think of be
ing untrue in matters of importance,
yet in smaller matters they do not
hesitate to deceive. They call these
falsehoods "fibs" and "white lies."
Circumstances makos one lie worse
than another, but all are wrong; all
are contrary to the law of God; all do
harm.
The liar is ti ot only displeasing tc
God. but is an enemy to all society.
Every lie tends to destroy confidence,
and want of confidence makes Bocietj
impossible. Says Dr. R. L. Dabney:
"If you cannot trust the postman v?hc
engages to carry your letters, the con
ductor who guides tho vehicle ii
which you ride, the pilot who guidei
your ship, the oook who engages t(
dress your food, the agent who trans
acta your busin.ss, you cannot neith
er write, ride, sail, eat, nor transao
any business." All business wouli
be stopped because of mutual distrus
between employer and employee. Ed
uoation would be impossible, beoaus
the pupil could not trust his instruo
tor. Love would be impossible, be
cause one oannot love where he eau
not trust. The home with all it
blessings would vanish, because with
out love and trust the members of th
family would be driven apart. Ever;
man would beciome a solitary Ishmael
ite, his hand af linet every other man'
hand, and every other man's han
against his. Every falsehood tend
to bring about just this state o
things. Man ?an never be too oarefv
to tell always the exact truth.-J. K
Hall, in Yorkville Enquirer.
