Best Answer

After raiding Union General John Pope's supply depot and cutting his telegraph lines, Stonewall Jackson's actual position was unknown to General Pope. Stonewall Jackson alerted Pope to his raiding party's position by assaulting one of Pope's passing columns. The following day, Pope had correctly identified Jackson's position and initiated what would be the Second Battle of Bull Run.
