BULL RUN. 665 BULOW. eral army of about 70,000, under General Pope. While Pope, at the head of the Army of Vir- ginia and a larpe part of the Army of the Po- tomac, was facing Lee along the line of the Rap- pahannock, Jackson, by a forced march, at- tained his rear through Thoroughfare Gap, with a force of about 25.000, and destroyed (August 20) the Federal supplies and munitions of war at Manassa.s and Bristow stations. Pope then turned, and on August 28 faced .Tackson near Bull Run, but delayed his attack for a day, and at 10 A.M. on the 29th, I^e and Longstreet, hav- 8ECOXD BATTLE OF BULL RUN. ing passed through Thoroughfare Gap almost unopposed, effected a junction with Jackson. At 3 P.M. Hooker, under Pope's orders, made the first serious attack on Jackson, but was driven back with considerable loss. Subsequently Kearny and McDowell also attacked, with some- what more success. Meanwhile Porter, on the Federal left, had held Longstreet in check, though Pope, who did not know of the Confed- erate reenforcenient, had-expected him to attack Jackson in Hank and rear. At the close of the day each siile claimed a victory. This first day's fighting is sometimes called the battle of Groveton, from the small village which formed the centre of Jackson's position. At noon on the 30th Pope ordered ilcDowell, Porter, and Heintzelman "forward in pursuit of the enemy." Their attack w'as repulsed with great loss, and Longstreet, by a counter-attack, gradually forced the Federal army off the field. Pope, cross- ing Bull Run, took up a position at Centrcville during the night of the' 30th, and on Septem- ber 1st withdrew to the defenses about Washing- ton, fighting the battle of Chantilly (q.v.) en route. The Federal loss, though never accu- rately determined, was about 14,500, while that of the Confederates was about ft.iOO. The battle closed Pope's campaign, by forcing his army back upon Washington, and enabled Lee to take the aggressive and invade JIaryland. (Sec Antietam, BATTI.E OF.) By the Confederates it was called the Second Battle of ilanassas. Con- sult: Official Rccordi, Vol. XII. (Washington, ISSfi) ; Ropes. Story of the Civil liar (2 vols..
