STRENGTH OF THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.

In October, 1884, General Thomas Jordan, who wasGeneral Beauregard’s adjutant-general, prepared astatement of the strength of the Confederate army atBull Run or Manassas , of which the following is a con-densation :

“ So far as the troops of Beauregard’s immediate Armyof the Potomac are concerned, this statement is con-densed from two that I prepared with the sub-returnsof all the commands before me as the adjutant-gen-eral of that army, September 25th, 1861, and I willvouch for its exactness. In respect to the Army of theShenandoah, I have been obliged to present an estimateof 8340 as the total of the rank and file of Johnston ’sarmy, my authority for which is a statement writtenby me in the official report of the battle, and based, as Idistinctly recollect, upon official documents and returnsin my hands at the time, of the accuracy of which I wasand am satisfied. The totals of General Beauregard’sArmy of the Potomac are:
