P. G. T. Beauregard quotes:

The enemy has assailed my outposts in heavy force. I have fallen back on the line of Bull Run and will make a stand at Mitchell's Ford.

Now, gentlemen, let tomorrow be their Waterloo!

That living specimen of gall and hatred, that individual.

The curse of God must have been on our people when we chose him out of so many noble sons of the South, who would have carried us safely through this Revolution.
