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."

All of the sohool buildings are

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.

work even. ^

A Former Citizen of Union Here, m
Mrs. Mary Elien Peavy, of Aberdeen, I
Miss., is here visiting relatives and U
friends, acoompanted by her neice, Miss I
iiona Johnson. Mrs. Peavy was born in ^
this county, is the daughter of Mr. Hen- [
ry Dunn, who when he lived here, owned 1
and occupied the house on the lot in f
which the late Col. John L. Young ki
li /< d. Mr. Dunn kept a hotel there, j|
which fact some of the old citizens now
living will remember.
Mrs. IVavj has been in the county for
the past two weeks, visiting her relatives,
Dr. and Mrs. T. B. Bates, and
Mr. Jas. C. Sartor. She also visited last
week Mrs. Martha Hix of this oily.
This week she is spending with the family
f Mr. (J. (3. Sartor. Mrs. Peavy's
mother was a Young, aunt of Mis. Martha
Hix, and Miss LeDa Johnson is the
grand daughter of Mrs. Paulina Gregory,
who was Miss Paulina Sartor, so the
relationship is through the Sartor family.
Mrs. Peavy first married Dr. Daniel Sar.
tor, who owned and occupied the hous^
on Church street, now owned by Mis.
JeauetU Wallace
Mrn. Peavy is very pleasantly remembered
in this community and her many
friends will be glad to know of her presence
here, as it has been quite a number
of years since she waa among her people. k
