Forward to Richmond Bush and the McClellan fantasy
A satirical diatribe mocks senators urging McClellan to slug it out with Beauregard near Ball’s Run. It imagines a comical, brutal march south then ash clouds, a tea, and a bored, comfortable “home guard” urging a battle that never ends. It ridicules the idea with verbose, playful rhetoric.

A chaotic scene unfolds in a dressing room filled with perfume jewelry lace and tattered garments. The narrator mocks a bold but dangerous matron as shelves curtains and beds reveal dust grime and disorder while hopeful maids await leverage and a hopeful future.
