Two Women Spies In Washington Revealed the Federal Plans for the Rattle of Manaaaas to the Oonffed- erate Commander. The battle of Bull Run, as it is known in history, called Manassas by the South, was fought iu July, 1861. It was planned and won by Beauregard. It was the greatest tlclory gained by the Coofeduiates in the entire war. Yet there wua a time in the midst of it when the Southern commander's heart “failed’' him ; when he “felt as all was kmt,” and when he MONUMENT TO THE WOMEN.
