The Daily Dispatch: August 1, 1861., [Electronic resource], The great battle! (search)
roops at Manassas are in a starving condition, but we are reliably informed that they can live a few days at least upon the large quantity of provisions taken from the "grand army." It took about three months for General McDowell to march his grand army from Washington City to Bull's Run, and it is a remarkable fact that the same army returned to Washington in the short space of three hours. If Gen. McDowell marched from Washington with 53,000 men, and was afterwards reinforced with 26,000. Where were all but the 22,000 that were engaged in the fight? Gen. Johnston joined the Confederate forces at Manassas the night before the great battle, and the Kentucky boys under the immediate command of Col. Duncan doubtless participated in the conflict that terminated so gloriously for the Southern arms. About eight hundred of our gallant fellows are attached to Johnston's division, and we may expect to hear a good account of them when the details of the fight are received.
