Excerpt from Down South, Vol. 2 of 2: Or an Englishman's Experience at the Seat of the American War
The intended attack of the Federal forces was ascertained a few days previous. Accordingly, General J ohnston - who had command of the army of the Shenandoah, posted at Winchester - arrived at Manassas on Friday the 19th, with Of his division, in order to reinforce the army of the Potomac, of which he was appointed Commander in-chief. This new arrangement, however, did not interfere with the plans of General Beaure gard, who was left to carry out his previously prepared designs, assured, meanwhile of the cordial co-operation of' General Johnston. The night before the battle, as may well be conceived, was one of much interest and occupation. The military orders for the forthcoming day were pre pared, and expectation was on tip-toe until the morning dawned. Oh! How many manly hearts throbbed wildly that night, thinking how the for tunes of war would turn on the ensuing day!
How many fixed their thoughts on home and its endearments, and recalled wife, children, and re latives with a sigh and a prayer! How many brave, noble fellows, hale in body and strong of soul, gazed from out their tents upon the pale star-light, and beheld the sun rise in the heavens for the last time!
