To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Tlirougli the firmness of Colonel Blenker, a short stand was made at Centreville, and the flying troops somewhat reassured. All the threats, promises and denunci- ations were of no avail, and the only course to be pui'sued was to cover the retreat as much as possible in case of a pui-suit The troops reached Fairfax in safety, and those regiments that were sent into Virginia on Sunday were ordered back, and joined the column of the retreating forces. Between "Washington and Alexandria all travel...ling communication was cut off by the Government, so as not to allow the panic- stricken soldiers to push into the Capital. ".
As might be expected, the most intense feeling pervaded all classes. The defeat, at the very moment of victory, was mortifying, but the rout and demorahzation was mortifying in the extreme. The public in its eager desii'e to find some palliation for the disaster, sought victims for its blame ; and the Secretary of War — the " On to Richmond !" press — the Congressmen who had goaded General Scott by their displays of temper at his deliberate way of pressing the campaign — all suffered at the hands of the indignant people.
