. Battles and leaders of the Civil War : being for the most part contributions by Union and Confederate officers, based upon "The Century war series." . uts of triumph! Many families, rich and poor alike, were bereaved oftheir dearest; and for many of the dead there was mourning by all the incident of the war, for instance, made a deeper impression than the fallin battle of Colonel Munfords beautiful and brave young son, Ellis, whosebody, laid across his own caisson, was carried that summer to his fathershouse at nightfall, where the family, unconscious of their loss, were sittingin cheerful talk around the portal. Another son of Richmond, whose deathwas keenly felt by everybody, received his mortal wound at the front of thefirst charge to break the enemys hue at Gainess Mill. This was Lieutenant-Colonel Bradfute Warwick, a young hero who had won his spurs in servicewith Garibaldi. Losses like these are irreparable in any community; and so,with lamentations in nearly every household, whde the spirit along the linescontinued unabated, it was a chastened Thank God that went up amongus when we knew the siege of Richmond was THE SECOND BATTLE OF BULL RUN. J BY JOHN POPE, MAJOR-GENERAL, U. s. A. EARLY in June, 1862, I was in command of the armycorps known as the Army of the Mississippi,which formed the left wing of the army engaged inoperations against Corinth, Miss., commanded byI General Halleck. A few days after Corinth was evac-: uated I went to St. Louis on a short leave of absencefrom my command, and while there I received a tele-gram from Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, request-,, ing me to come to Washington immediately. I at^0^ once communicated the fact to General Halleck bytelegraph, and received a reply from him stronglyobjecting to my leaving the army which was underhis command. I quite concurred with him both as to his objections to mygoing to Washington for public reasons and as to the unadvisability of sucha step on personal considerations.
