The Old Bull Run Battle-Field

A Correspondent ot the Philadelphia Inquirer gives the following description of a visit to the late Bull Run battle-field:

On Monday night I rested with a part of the army that pitched their tents on the section of the old Bull Run battle-field adjacent to the Warrenton Pike. A poet might find here in the suggestive relics of the deadly strife the theme of an epic ; or a painter might illustrate on canvass the horrors of war from the mementoes here left of its ruthless work.
