Slum of Wav's Hrvvoo Still to Soon The Soooncl BatUo nnd the Porter Caso. Letter to the l'hllulclj > hl Times. MANASSAS , Va. Tlio Inpsoof hvcn years has left the Holds mul wood hills upon which the battle of 15i Hun \\jwfought much as they wore < tlisxt hot Sun ay in July , 1801 , t young nrinies of the people for t lirst tinio joined in combat. At ti spot this month twenty years ngo t raw nucleus of the grain ! army of t I'otpmne foil upon the equally uiul cilinetl [ cnomy and forced him throu thick woods , across ravines , up hi sides and into what promised to bo i torrout , but accident t f war turned t tide of battle and under vigorous con tor-attack drovetho assailants dismay to the banks of the Potomac. SVn the writer wishes to set down in pla terms is the appearance of the battl field now and the impression that t surroundings mal < o upon an admit of those who fought. Bull Run is the best reached fro Manassas village , a pretty place , whi shelters snugly on the level land a ft hundred people , who , being at a poi on the Virginia Midland railroad , th ty miles west of Washington , take tl trade of the country for considoral distance around. Riding north < the road to Sudloy Springs ono se the clearly marked outline's of a f c in a cornfield , and , passing furtlu the eye is attracted by the beautif \ line of the Blue Ridge far away to t northwest. At the end of a six-mi trot through a pleasant country farms , the most interesting part the battle-field , HonryHill , isrcachc \ THE riELU's KEY-l'OIXT. , The Henry hotiso stands upon Ho ry hill , a flat , bare cr st , the iioli key-point , whence came the fit great outburst of battle and acre which forward and backward t' contending lines surged from no until the day was lost. Tlio house a pleasant structure , with marks newness about it , and it is made i viting by n lawn in which there is largo elm and several small loon trees. The eye of the approach ! ) visitor does not rest upon these tree however , delightful as they may r pear , for the objects of prominoi : are a little God's-Acro grove in fro of the house and a rude monument its rear. "Coaso I wuj5 hcah just arter fightin' , " said Shodrick , the dark driver , as wo climbed the hill-si road to the house ; "coaso I wuz , I seen inoah dead uns stretched s in dat ar oat-field ober dar den I el seed afor nor sence. Bar's Henry , kin toll yo " Under the elm tree sat an olde gentleman bonding over what I aft wards saw were Latin text-books. I soft hand , heartily extended , point as a sure index to his owner as o concerned with the windrows learning rather than with those lo lines of fallen grain in the trail of < reaper which at that moment was sc swinging slowly down a distant Fn fax hill. From the warmth of ' . welcome Mr. Henry , who is a prof ser in the Alexandria academy , sc made his visitor fool in its fullm that which has boon so much praie the hospitality of the old time A' ginia. A GLANCE ni03 [ A HILLTOr. "Bo so kind as to stand under t trco he said ; "this point is the b from which to study the battlo-fio General Sherman so regarded it wl he called hero some time ago. I v sitting in this place where you saw reading to-day tvhon I observed I general approaching across the fie . Ho came to thu house , and stand ! hero pointed out with wonderful i curacy the various positions hold di ing the baltlo. Sir , that ridge boyo the Bull Run stream is in Fair ! county , look to the cast. On this s of that Fairfax ridge lay the Fodo army on the night before the b tie. The country there was par cultivated then as it is now , b turning your eyes further to I north , you see a forest extending the stream. Through that fore now of larger growth , the Fcderi who were to turn Beaurogard's 1 ( moved , cutting their road as tl went to Sudloy Springs , which j BOO in the distance to the nor Then crossing Bull Run they ca down directly upon this point. Th remain few evidences of that mo meiit. The oak and pine stands ai did then , Mow , mark , sir ? 'J Confederate Colonel Evans , 'Shanl OB they called him , faced ' . lor juat down there at the sti bridge , on the Wnrrontoii pi Is it clear to you ? Well , sir , Eva suspecting something wrong , faced stream , and , with Col's Bee and B ton , throw himself into that field j beyond the valloy. You see the ti now. It is still clear. To make long story short , when the Federal tacking column struck Evans tl thought Bcaurcgard's army was their front , If they had pushed i ward they would have crushed Be regard. No doubt ot it. Eva with a handful of men , held thoin an hour and a half , and , when hu forced back , ho retreated to this p eau , where thu fiercest fighting done. The Confederates ran past I house towards General Jackson , i had just posted his brigade at ridge a few hundred yards to northeast of the house. Jacksi men were lying Hat on the grou but Jackson was on his horso. sat there as still and steadfast as monument. Now and then ho wa his hat to his men , among wl shell were flying and around wl heads bullets were flying like bee harvest time. A soldier of t brigade was hero a few years ago ho tola mo that ho thought it too stay. Ho was slipping back , w Jackson seeing him , lifted his he The fellow dropped into his placo. WHEIIB JACKSON BKOAJIE' 'STOHEWA1 As ho talked Mr. lltmry led his itor beyond the lawn into a field wl gro\ ) ' long grass , daisies , danduli' ' dock weeds , blue thistle and thic nutted blackberry briers. Slightly dvanco and at the further edge of < iold was ft line of yonnp pines whi iad snruntt up since the battle , maki ho field narrower now than it v hen. Beyond this growth of siti nncs stretches a wide uolt of oak ti > cr , then standing , Kating strawb rics as wo walked along wo came t ( light ridge near the woods. 11 nei d no ono to explain that this v vhoro Jackson stood "liko a stc wall. " From this spot , where 1 lorso's hoofs made their momora1 nark , I could trace , by th red roi icd loading to Sudloy Springs , o ino of Federal approach , and immo tcly below , in the little valley 'oung's Branch , I could see the \Vi onton pike that brought union hi rom the stone bridge across IltillUu 'ar away in beautiful undulations r tlcasant fields and sternly in the bac ground still grow the very oaks tl mco were bruised and shattered 10 shock of battle. KATILK FIKM ) FANCIES. Standing whcro Jackson stood , it asy to ropcoplo this beautiful ere nd with slight ollbtt fancy fills in t Scturo. Punting after a hot run o ! nile and a half , Bee's men and B : on's huddle panic-stricken at the ed > f the woods. The rebels are route 'ho hard-worked mon of the norl living constantly forward , cross Wi onton road , push up tlio hill a each the plateau , Their batter weep the crest and Bond doath-itc ; ng bolts , hissing hot , into the woo ( lee is in sore extremity. His face trcakod with the smut of powdi lis oycs are wild. His sword is onstant motion above his head. I oico is husky , for shouts of comma eng since gave place to whispers ntrcaty. Over the field ho comes carch of his badly-smitten runawa ; "General , " ho exclaims , rcachi ackson. "thoyuro boating us bacl "Sir , replies Jackson , "wo v ivo thorn the bayonet. " Again Be word wavca encouragement to ! roops , ° and in a rain of bullets hori oward , saying to some who ! rith him : "There is Jackson , standing liki tone wall ! " Instantly thereafter I unites his breast , and , stumbling , f : inckwnrd upon a clump of briars , nd fro across his body fly the bits cad , regiment moots regiment crco charge and the thick of i ght is on. A dozen rocks in ( lictst of a tangle of a pine bush im lie spot where Bee died , and a f tops distant a similar mound des ates the place of Barton's fall. C onviction forces itself upon the vi or who walks from point to point Ilia field that the people no1 lave dpno justice to the heroism ho union soldiers who through ault of their own lost the battle ho "May I aak what has become of i lall in your house ? " said Gone Sherman to Mr. Henry. "Tho house had to bo rebuilt , " \ ho reply , "and it was remodeled. " "I thought so , " said Sherman , w i grim smile. "I was in that In > ut it got too hot for me. " It is not pleasant for the gontlon vho , with an aged sister , made d > y the battle and so remaining m occupies the Henry mansion to tcl of the fighting in and around louse. In the pravoyard grove ombstono with the inscription : In Memory of THE PATRIOTS Who Fell at 11ULT , HUN , July 21 , 1801. Great locust trees that then at around the lawn were broken oil' ! swept down , and from their slur , ho lessor locusts now standing h ; rown. In a fjrovo of those trees , i grass-covered mound in the real , ho house , is a monument of rough granite , whcroupon are scratched mines of visiting veterans. The si s chapped with shells , ono of wli was hurled by "Long Tom" from F 'ax Heights far across Bull R L'hough the monuments was put up Jnion soldiers the bones of five C 'odoratcs are buried beneath. Pu ng aside some hollyocks , now lower around the mound , I was n o read the inscription : JUDITH IIENKY , tilled near this spot by the oxploc of sholh in her dwelling during > attlo on the 21st of July , 1 When killed she was in her 85th y and confined to her bed by , infir ics of ago. Her husband , Dr. la ETenry , was a surgeon in the Uni States navy , on board the trigato C stollation. When the artillery began to r ; ho hill and shot came tearing thro ; ho house Mrs. Henry's invalid , ook her in his arms and bore across the field and down the hill t sheltered placo. Two daughters the IIOUBO followed. When the I of battle momentarily rolled away the light , the party returned to IIOUBO , but scarcely had they reac the lawn when a fiercer storm t over Icirclcd around. Mrs. He was snot in several places , ono of daughters was made deaf for lifo i tlio terrible shock hastened the BC death. DOWN AT THE I1UI1X3K. With taut reins Shedrick let liorses down the farm road lead From the plateau , and , cros : Young's branch , wo emerged upon " \Varronton piko. The ntono he known to history still stands at intersection of the Sudloy Springs Wammton roads , and wo drank fi the same well whence thirstyhundi drew rofoshiim draughts twenty yi ago. From the stone house along pike to the stone bridge across J Run , it is a long milo , the road be up hill and down , twice crossing rivulet. "Tho Yankees retreated nlong road after the fighting on the Hi farm , didn't they Shedrick ? " "I'so free to say , sir , dat doy 1 o' made fur do bridge. " "But didn't they runf" "No , Hah ; when do rebels got Union gammon on do go-back , kind o' wont along dis road toards bridge. " "But what's the difference botv on the run1 and 'on the go-back ? ' 'Heap o' diflenco , Bah , heap o' fence. " This cute description appearc tickle Shedrick , who , at the tin the battle was a slave , and who , ii respect for the North , could no induced to admit that those wlu him free were driven in wild 1 ! across the bridge now before even von * oycs. The bridge looks old , b steadfast. A wall of stone is on cith side , the the road-bed on the bridge of red clay , juat as on the pike Use The stream that passci under t bridge is now narrow and sluggis but a rain storm sends the watc roaring down between the high wa of led rock and the dry undorgtow of summer in the run's raco-track frequently submerged. To the cast Fairfax county , tilled upon this si with fields and thick woods , in t depths of which the bones of mon ai horses are found to this day. ' the west , alonp the road that took thither , stretch the undulating Ian of Prince William county. Thin are somewhat desolate at the bridj but is a novelty to sit on the sto buttress and read of war's deadly d ing , while from the dark grass and da wjitor below thu bullfrog mocks t drum , TXHKHKTIU : POUTER TUOU11I.11 IlltOA A year after the first battle tl second battle of Bull Run was foug upon the same ground. But in tl second battle the posit iona of the o Dosing forces were reversed , lion : Hill and the adjoining B.xld Hill a the points from which the operattoi during the second battle can bust 1 studied. Far to the west stretch tl Bull Run mountains and in the di tanco the Blue Ridgo. Thoroughfa Gap , through which Jackson marchi and in which llickotts disputed Lou street's passage , looks like a notch a huge saw. Bones have boon foui within the last few years in the Ga but it behooves the searcher for sin uncanny relics to beware lest he hii self bo turned to bones , for in the Bt Run Mountains tlio rattlesnake lurk There are slight traces of Jackson'so tronchmcnts on the highlands nu Grovcton , and the unusual railroi cut , in which there was such fier fighting , remains to-day aa it was Aut-ust , 18G2. The Fitz John Porter case h caused a number of army officers visit the Henry House and some au ; cent points recently , and not long a General Warren passed several da in the vicinity preparing maps for i : in the trial. The people of the vici ity are interested in the dovplopmc of the case , almost all taking sic' with Porter , who , as a Manassas in put it , "is merely the scapegoat of lost battle. " A year or so ago Senator D Cameron found himself at t Henry farm , and , having oxamin the two battle fields , said to Mr. Henry : "What will y take for your property ? I've a i tion to buy it. " The reply was tl the spot was too dear lo bo bought ; place full of pitiful memories for t owner and sad reflection for t friends of those whoso gathered nal cst at Arlington. How Japanese Fiuis aroMndo. A British consul in Japan pivea t 'ollowing particulars touching i Jio manufacture of folding fans Osaka : As in many other brancl of industry , the principle of divisi of labor is carried out in the fan-mi ing trade. The bamboo ribs are mi in Osaka and Kioto by private in viduals in their own houses , and cc binations of the various notches cul the lower part are loft to ono of jmshing workmen , who forms various patterns of the handle acco ing to plans prepared by the desigr In like manner the designer gi out to the engravers the pattc teaches him ibo which his experience bo moat likely to bo saleable dur the" ensuing season : and when the i fcrcnt blocks have been cut , it E rests with him to say what colors ; o bo used for the two sides of c 'an. In fact , this official holds , lot the best paid , at _ any rate most important position on the a ordinary. When the printed shoots which to form the two sides of the fans h boon handed over to the workm together with the sots of bamboo B which are to form the ribs , his f business is to fold the two shoots which the fan is to bo composed , that they w ill retain the crease , i this is done by putting thorn botw two pieces of paper , well Batura with oil and properly creased. ' . four are then folded together i placed under a heavy weight. W ! sufficient time has elapsed the slit are taken out and the molds and u again , < tlio released shoots being pr ed up for at least twenty-four houi their folds. The next process is take the ribs , which are tempera arranged in order on wire , and "t them into their places on ono of shoots , after it has been spread out a block and pasted. A dish of rrn ; then gives the woodwork adhci powers and that part of the proces finished'by affixing thoromainingBl of paper. The fan has to bo folded up opened three or four times before folds take the proper shape ; and the time it is put up to dry it has ceivod far moro handling than foreign paper could stand ; hide foreign paper has been tried , and to bo given up as unsuitable for work ; but with great care the OB fanmakcra have boon able to in some fans with printed pictures wl have been sent over from Afr though they were invariably obli to URO 0110 face of Japanese pa ] The qualities of native paper now taro are not nearly BO good as thos which the old fans were made , and consequence , the etylo of manufact has hud to bo changed. Instead of first pasting the faces of the fun together and then > uhig in pointed ribs , the ribs square and are pasted in their pli in the manner described above , outaido lacquered pieces and fa work are all done in Osaka and Ki and Borne of the designs in lacquo : bono are really artistic ; but the mand for the highly ornamented Bcription of fans is not sufficient to courage the production of largo qi titles of first-class work , When insides are drying the riveting the pieces together , including outer covering , is rapidly done , ai dash of vanifsh quickly finishes fan , AFrleutUuNoed.
