In Washington General Scott was anxiously awaiting the result of his skilful plan of battle, and General Johnston had come down from the Valley of Virginia, in response to Beauregard's appeal-If you will help me, now is the time.
Hotly had the field been contested, and the hours passed slowly to men who had never tasted of battle before.
