THE MIMIC BATTLES Of Manasses and Bull Run. We are indebted to Dr. Arthur Long for copies from 5th to "TOM* ol September inclusive of the Manassas Journal, which paper gives a daily account of the mauouvers of the two armies upon the historic field of Manassas, Bull Run, Thoroughfare Gap, Haymarket, and Gainesville. A full and interesting account of each day's munouvers of the contending armies, the Blue and tho Brown. There were regulars and state militia in each army, both of Southern and Northern troops, so in this little play at war it was not the Southern boys against the Northern. The Manassas Journal has a very interesting account written by an eye witness of the first battle of Manasses 28th July 1861; and also accounts of the real battle fought on theso fields upon which these mimic battles were fought this month, between the Blues and Browns. Tl;e p?per also has pictures of the many places and houses with which the old veterans of the Confederate army are familiar. A picture of Manassas Junction in 180*2, and now; a picture of the Henry house when the first battle was fought ; the stone house on the Warrenton turnpike; the stone bridge where the opening gun was fired, July 21, 1861; a picture of the Confederate monument at Manassas; the old tavern and hospital at Ownberville, the town of one street; and , mono r\t * ?j<? v? v??v uawiv ground, showing the different positions of the different armies daring the sixties and the )ther day when these battles were i fought over again in fan. To the old I Don federate, these are too real, but lone the less interesting rwwlnlsT i jence. The following is General 1 Robert I?. Ree's farewell to his army: * Heaihjuaktehs Army > Northern Virginia, 1 April 10, 1865. , "After four years of arduous ser- , rice, marked by unsurpassed oour*ge ind fortitude, the Amay of Northern Virginia has been oumpelled to yield ] .o overwhelming numbers and re- ' louroes. I need not tell the survives of so many hard-fought battles, \ vho have remained steadfast to the , ast, that I have consented to this re- . mlt from no distrust of them ; but, eeling that valor and devotion could ' iccomplish nothing that could oorplensuta for the loss that wopld have 1 kttended the cpptipp&tion of the conjountrymep Ry the terms of ,he agreement, officers and men can f return to their homes, and remain < there until exchanged. 1 You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed ; and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection. With an unceas ing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you an aQectlonate farewell. (Signed) R. E. Lf.e, General." Graded Schools Opened Monday. The four graded schools of this city opened Monday.

All of the sohool buildings are brick and so constructed as to give comfort and convenience to teaohera and student body, and if the pupils do not learn it will be the fault of the pupil and possibly the parent, as we oonoetve the parents duty to the ohltd is to send it to sohool and sustain the teacher. Local Happenings at Santuc. Mr. and Mrs. R G. A. Jeter went over to the Hebron section last Saturday to vbit Mrs. Jeter's grandfather.

Wagons are giving out, fi buggy wheels running loose because of 9 dry weather, and the men at the repair shops are kept crowded with work, there S being a great demand for that sort of fl work even. ^ Mr. R.
