Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Ewell at First Manassas. (search)
Ewell at First Manassas. by Captain George F. Harrison. I have read, with painful surprise, in Vol. XIII Southern his-Torical papers, the article headed, General Ewell at First Manassas. I cannot conceive how General Beauregard could utter such a reflection—even entertain such a thought—as he has put on record in the Century Magazine in regard to General Ewell, damning him with the faint praise of obedience to technical orders, and plainly imputing to him blame for not moving without orders—more especially right in the teeth of his own letter of unqualified exoneration. It seems to me a most singular doctrine to come from such a master of the art of war as Beauregard, that it was the duty of a brigade commander to initiate such a battle as that momentous one was intended to be, merely because the plans were communicated to him the night before, and he was directed to hold himself in readiness to move at 7 o'clock next morning, upon receipt of further orders.

Van Buren, as the representativ nominated without opposition by a national convention of May 5th, 1840. The contest between Harrison and Van Buren was conducted with more absorbing interest and public excitement than ever beforeficient valid political reasons to sustain the citizens in the overwhelming triumph that wafted Harrison and Tyler into office with a strong Congressional delegation to sustain them. Van Buren received only sixty electoral votes, while Harrison had two hundred and thirty-four. The death of Harrison occurring one month after inauguration, the administration devolved on Tyler, who became PresideHarrison occurring one month after inauguration, the administration devolved on Tyler, who became President. The Administration was very much perplexed by a dissent in the party on the bank question. The writer of the work under consideration does not enter into the history of this administration with

officer, and will carry into the field a body of men equal to any in the Confederacy. What arm of the service he means to patronize, we have not learned; but we are disposed to think it will be the artillery. Goochland, by the bye, has already one artillery company in the field. It is admirably drilled, and its commander, Captain Guy, is a most accomplished officer. She has, also, several infantry companies in the service, and one splendid troop of cavalry. Its commander, Capt.George F. Harrison, is one of the best officers in the Confederate service. It will thus be seen that old Goochland cannot be beaten on the score of patriotism and military enthusiasm. Nor is the flame confined to the white population. When the order came for employing the free black population in working upon the fortifications of this city, fifty-odd stout, hearty, young men of that class stepped forward at once, and volunteered their services. We hope it will be remembered to their credit here
