Union Forces Lose A Major Battle
'The Union forces were met and turned back by the Confederate powre at Bull Run earlier today. The Federal leaders had hoped for a
victory here and then an easy march toward the state capitol, Richmond. When fighting started on the 18th, it was the Federal troops
that pushed back the Confederates. But reinforcements quickly arrived and turned the tide of the fighting. Smashing into the
enemy, the Confederates launched wave after wave of brutal assaults, completely shattering any Union attempts to advance. The Federal
soldiers had no choice but to withdraw and some of the brigades fled all the way back to Washington. The victory caused much jubilation
in the Southern camp.'
