All was consternation and dismay. A thousand men ran up and down the banks. Two Massachusetts companies had the presence of mind to display a white flag and surrender. Others rushed wildly into the stream ; and the shrieks of the wounded and drowning mingled with the shouts of the victors and the rattle of musketry. The results of the terrible disaster of Leesburg were studiously sup- pressed by the Washington authorities. Indeed, they had the hardihood to claim an advantage ; representing that... the movement towards Leesburg was merely a " reconnoissance," and was, in the main, " gallant " and " successful." But the Federal Congress happened to be in session at the time ; and the opposition party brought out the stark and horrible truth of the aff'air. It was ascertained that the Federal loss was not less than 500 killed and drowned, 800 wounded, and about the same number of prisoners, making a total exceeding two thousand. The loss of the Con- federates was only one hundred and fifty-three in killed and wounded.
