The Civil War in America: Confederate prisoners capture by United States' pickets between Fairfax and Manassas-Junction, Virginia, from a sketch by our special artist, 1861. Prisoners taken on the second day of the United States' troops' advance on the Confederate positions in Virginia. 'General Beauregard's report of the engagement of July 18 (preceding that of Bull Run) has only just been published. It is very long compared with the insignificant proportions of the skirmish. He admits that he was "opportunely informed of the determination of the enemy to advance on Manassas;" he terms the battle an "artillery duel;" states the losses on his side at 15 killed and 73 wounded, and that he took 20 prisoners, 175 stand of arms, a large quantity of accoutrements and blankets, and 150 hats. The delay in the preparation of the report is owing to his "engrossing administrative duties".' From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
