Signs of War's Havoo Still to be Seen--The Second Battle and the Porter Case. Philadelphia Times, Maxassas, Va.—The lapseof twenty fwj:\rs has left the fields and wooded hills upon which the battle of Bull Run was fought much as they were on that hot Sun ay in July, 1801, the young armies of the people for the first time joined in comb: At this spot this month twenty years ago the raw nucleus of the grand army of the Potomac fell upon the equally undis- ciplined enemy and forced him through thick woods, across ravines, up hill- sidos and into what promised to bo at- terrout, but accident f war turned the tide of battle and under vigorous coun- ter-attack drovetheassailants disr to the banks of the Potomac. What the writer wishes to set down in plain terms is the appearance of the battle- field now and the impression that the surroundings make upon an admirer of those who fought. Bull Run is the best reached from Manassas village, a pretty place, which shelters snugly on t‘lo level land a few Tundred people, who, being at a point on the Virginia Midland railroad, thir- ty miles west of Washington, take the trade of the country for considerable distance around. Riding north on the road to Sudley Springs one sees the clenrlg marked outlines of a fort in a cornfield, and, passing further, the eye is attracted by the beautiful line of tho Blue Ridge far away to the northwest. At the end of a six-mile trot through a pleasant country of farms, the most interesting part of the battle-field, Henry Hill, is reached. THE FIELD'S KEY-POINT. The Henry house stands upon Hen- ry hill, aflat, bare crest, the field’s Koy-point, whence camo the first great outburst of battle and across which forward and backward the contending lines surged from noon until the day was lost. The house is a pleasant structure, with marks of newness about it, and it is made in- viting by a lawn in which there is a large elm and several small locust trees. The eye of the approaching visitor does not rest upon these trees, however, delightful as they may ap- pear, for the objects of prominence are a little God's-Acre grove in front of the house and a rude monument in its rear. “Coase I wuz heah just arter de fightin’,” said Shedrick, the darkey driver, as we climbed the hill-side road to the house; “‘coase I wuz, en I seen moah dead uns stretched stiff i dat ar oat-field ober dar den I eber seoed afor nor sence. Dar's Henry, he kin tell ye " Under the elm tree sat an elderly gentleman bending over what I after- wards saw were Latin text-books. His soft hand, heartily extended, pointed as a sure index to his owner as one concerned with the windrows of learning rather than with those long lines of fallen grain in the trail of the reaper avhich at that moment was sees swinging slowly down a distant Fair- fax hill. From the warmth of his welcome Mr. Henry, who is a profes- sor in the Alexandria academy, soon made his visitor feel inits fullness that which has been so much praised —the hospitaiiy of the old time Vir- ginia. A GLANCE FROM A HILLTOP. “‘Be so kind as to stand under this tree he said; “this point is the best from which to study the battle-field. General Sherman 0 regarded it when he called here some time sitting 1n this place where you saw me reading to-day when I observed the general approaching facross the field, and standing here pointed out with wonderful ac- curacy the various positions held dur- ing the battle. Sir, that ridge beyond the Bull Run stream is in Fairfax county, look to the east. On this side of that Fairfax ridge lay the Federal army on the night before the bat- tle. The country there was partly cultivated then as it is now, but, turning your eyes further to the north, you see a forest extending to the stream. Through that forest, now of larger growth, the Federals, who were to turn Beauregard’s left, moved, cutting their road as they went to Sudley Springs, which you see in the distance to the north. Then crossing Bull Run they came down directly upon this point, There remawn few evidences of that move- ment. The oak and pine stands as it did then, Mow, mark, sir! The Confederate Colonel Evans, ‘Shanks,” as they called him, faced Ty- ler just down there at the stone bridge, on the Warrenton pike. Ts it clear to you! Well, sir, Evans, suspecting something wrong, faced up stream, and, with Col’s Bee and Bur- ton, threw himself into that field just beyond the valley. You see the field now, Itisstill clear. To make a long story short, when the Federal at- tacking column struck Evans they thought Beauregard’s army was in their front, If they had pushed for- ward they would have crushed Beau- regard. No doubt ot it. Evans, with a handful of men, held them for an hour and a half, and, when he was forced back, he retreated to this plat- eau, where the fiercest fighting was done. The Confederates ran past this house towards General Jackson, who had just posted his brigade at the ridge'a few hundred yards to the northeast of the house. Jackson's men were lying flat on the ground, but Jackson was on his horse. He sat there as still and steadfast as this monument. Now and then he waved his hat to his men, among whom shell were flying and around whose heads bullets were flying like bees in harvest time, A soldier of that brigade was here a fow years ago and he told me that he thought it too hot stay. He was slipping back, when Jackson seeing him, lifted his hand. The fellow dropped into his place. WHERE JACKSON BECAME ‘'STONEWALL.” _ As he talked Mr. Henry led his vis- itor beyond the lawn into a field where grew long grass, daisies, dandelions, dock wi , blue thistle and thickly- matted blackberry briers. Slightly in field was a line of young pines which had sprung up since the battle, making the field narrower now than it was then. Beyond this growth of small lniuvn stretches a wide belt of oak tim. ber, then standing, Fating strawber- ries as we walked along we came to & slight ridge near the woods. It need- ed no one to explain that this was where Jackson stood “like a stone wall.” From this spot, where his horse’s hoofs made their memorable mark, I could trace, by th+ red road- bed leading to Sudley Springs, line of Federal approach, and imme ately below, in_the little valley Young's Branch, T could see the War- renton pike that brought union help from the stone bridge across Bull Run, Far away in beautiful undulations roll pleasant fields and sternly in the back- ground still grow the very oaks that once were bruised and shattered in the shock of battle. BATTLE Standing where Jackson stood, it is easy to repeople this beautiful crest, and with slight effort fancy fils in the picture. Panting after a hot run of & mile and a half, Bee's men and Bar- ton's huddle panic-stricken at the edge of the woods, The rebels are routed. The hard-worked men of the north, driving constantly forward, cross War- renton road, push up the hill and reach the plateau, Tbeir batteries sweep the crest and sond death-deal- ing bolts, hissing hot, into the woods. Bee is in sore extremity. His face is streaked with the smut of powder. His eyes are wild. His sword is in constant motion above his head. His voice is husky, for shouts of command long since gave place to whispers of entreaty. Over the field he comes in search of his badly-smitten runaways. “‘General,” he exclaims, reaching Jackson, ‘‘they ure beating us back.” Sir,” replies Jackson, “‘we will give thom the bayonet.” Again Bee's sword waves encouragement to his troops, and in a rain of bullets he runs foward, saying to some who are with him : “There is Jackson, standing like a stone wall!” Instantly thereafter Bee smites his breast, and, stumbling, falls backward upon a clump of briars. To and fro across his body fly the bits of lead, regiment meets regiment in fierce charge and the thick of the fight is on. A dozen rocks in the midst of a tangle of a pine bush mark the spot where Bee died, and a few steps distant a similar mound desig- nates the place of Barton's fall. One conviction forces itself upon the visi- tor who walks from point to point in this field—that the pcople never have done justice to the heroism of the union soldiers who through no tault of their own lost the battle here. “May I ask what has become of the hall in your house?’ said General Sherman to Mr. Henry. ““The house had to be rebuilt,” was the reply, ‘‘and it was remodeled.” “I thought so,” said Sherman, with a grim smile. “T was in that hall, but it got too hot for me.” 1t is not pleasant for the gentleman who, with an aged sister, made dear by the battle and 8o remaining now, occupies the Henry mansion to tell of one i- TELD FANCIES, advance and at the further edge of the | v THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1881, the bridge now before our yes. The bridge looks old, but steadfast. A wall of stone is on either side, the the road-bed on the bridge is of red clay, just as on the pike itself. The stream that passes under the bridge is now narrow and sluggish, but a rain storm sends the waters roaring down between the high walls of red rock and the dry undergrowth of summer in the run's race-track is frequently submerged. Tothe east is Fairfax county, filled upon this siae with fields and thick woods, inthe depths of which the bones of men and horses are found to this day. To the west, along the road that took us thither, stretch the undulating lands of Prince William county. Things are somewhat desolate at the bridge, buat is a novelty tc on the stone buttress and read of war's deadly do ing, while from the dark grass and dark ater below the bullfrog mocks the drum, WHERE THE PORTER TROUBLE BEGAN. A yoar after the first battle the gecond battle of Bull Run was fought upon the same ground. DBut in the second battle the positions of the op posing forces were reversed. Henry Hill and the adjoining Bald Hill are the points from which the operations during the second battle can best bo studied. Far to the west stretch the Bull Run mountaing and in the die- tance the Blue Ridge. Thoroughfare 3ap, through which Jackson marched and in which Ricketts disputed Long- strect’s passage, looks like a notch in a huge saw. Bones have been found within the last few years in the Gap, but it behooves the searcher for such uncanny relics to beware lest he him- self be turned to bones, for in the Bull Run Mountains the rattlesnake lurksy There areslight traces of Jackson'sen- trenchments on the highlands near Groveton, and the unusual railrond cut, in which there was such fierce fighting, remains to-day as it was in August, 1862, The Fitz John Porter case has caused o number of army ofticers to visit the Henry House and some adja- cent points recently, and not long ago General Warren passed several days in the vicinity preparing maps for use in the trial. The people of the vicin- ity are interested in the development of the case, almost all taking sides with Porter, who, as a Manassas man put it, “is merely the seapegoat of a lost battle.” A year or so ago Senator Don Cameron found himself at the Henry farm, and, having examined the = two battle fields, he said to Mr. Henry: “What will you take for your property! I've a no- tion to buy it.” The reply was that the spot was too dear to bo bought; a place full of pitiful memories for the owner and sad reflection for the friends of those whose guthered ashes rest at Arlington. et How Japanese Fans are Made, A British consul in Japan gives the following particulars touching the the manufacture of folding fans at Osaka: As in many other branches of industry, the principle of division of labor is carried out in the fan-mak- ing trade. The bamboo ribs are made of the fighting in and around the house. In the graveyard grove isa tombstone with the inscription: In Memory of S THE PATRIOTS Who Fell at BULL RUN, July 21, 1861. eat locust trees that then stood around the lawn were broken off and swept down, and from their stumps Lllcfienscl' locusts now standing have grown. Ina grove of these trees, on a grass-covered mound in the rear of the house, is a monument of rough red granite, whereupon are scratched the names of visiting veterans., The shaft is chapped with shells, one of which was hurled by ““Long Tom” from Fair- fax Heights far across Bull Run, Though the monumentswas put up by Union soldiers the bones of five Con- federates are buried beneath. Push- ing aside some hollyocks, now in flower around the mound, T was able to read the inscription: JUDITH HENRY, killed near this spot by the explosion of shells in her dwelling during the battle on the 2lst of July, 1861, When killed she was in her 85th year and confined to her bed by infirmi- ties of age. Her husband, Dr. Isaac Henry, was a surgeon in the United States navy, on board the trigate Con- stellation, When the artillery began to rock the hill and shot came tearing through the house Mrs. Henry's invalid son took her in his arms and bore her across the field and down the hill to a sheltered gxh\ca‘ Two daughters of the house followed, When the tide of battle momentarily rolled away to the right, the party returned to the house, but scarcely had they reached the lawn when a fiercer storm than ever "rclud around. Mrs. Henry was shot in several places, one of the daughters was made deaf for life and the terrible shock hastened the son's death. DOWN AT THE BRIDGE, With taut reins Shedrick let his horses down the farm road leading from the plateau, and, crossing Young's branch, we emerged upon the Warrenton pise. The stone house known to history still stands at the intersection of the Sudley Springs and Warrenton roads, and we drank from the same well whence thirsty hundreds drew refeshing draughts twenty years ago. From the stone house along the hike to the stone bridge across Bull | Run, it is a Jong mile, the road being up hill and down, twice crossing the rivulet. ' ““I'he Yankees retreated alon, road after the fighting on the farm, didn’t they Shedrick?’ “T'se free to say, sir, dat dey kind o' made fur de bridge.” “But didn't they run/” “No, sah; when de rebels got de Union gemmen on de go-back, dey kind o’ went along dis road toards the bridge.” “‘But what's the difference between ‘on the run’ and ‘on the go-back?’ ‘Heap o' diffence, sah, heap o' dif- fence.” This cute deseription appeared to tickle Shedrick, who, at the time of the battlc was a slave, and who, in his respect for the North, could not be induced to admit that those who set this Henry him frec were driven in wild flight in Osaka and Kioto by private indi- viduals in their own houses, and com- binations of the various notches cut in the lower part are left to one of the fimshing workmen, who forms the various patterns of the handle accord- ing to plans prepared by the designer. In like manner the designer gives out to the engravers the patterns which his experience teaches him will be “moat likely to be saleable during the ensuing season: and when the dif- ferent blocks have been cut, 1t still rests with him to say what colors are to be used for the two sides of each fan. In fact, this official holds, if not the best paid, at any rate the most important position on the staff ordinary. When the printed sheets which are to form the two sides of the fans have been handed over to the workman, together with the sets of bamboo slips which are to form the ribs, his first business is to fold the two sheets of which the fan is to be composed, 8o that they will retain the crease, and this is done by putting them between two pieces of paper, well saturated with oil and properly creased. The four arve then folded together and placed under a heavy weight. When sufficient time has elapsed the sheets are taken out and the molds and used again, the released sheets being pack- ed up for at least twenty-four hoursin their folds. The next process is to take the ribs, which are '.ompurlrily arranged in_order on wire, and ‘‘set” them into their places on one of the sheets, after it has been spread out on a block and pasted, A dish of paste, then gives the woodwork adhesive powers and that part of the process is finished by affixing theremaining sheet of paper. The fan has to be folded up and opened three or four times before the folds take the proper shape; and by the time it is put up to dry it has re- ceived far more handling than any foreign paper could stand; indeed, foreign paper has been tried, and had to be given up as unsuitable for the work; but with great care the Osaka fanmakers have been able to make some fans with printed pictures which have been sent over from Africa, though they were invariably obliged to use one face of Japanese paper. The qualities of native paper now used are not nearly so good as those of which the old fans were made, and, in consequence, the etyle of manufacture has had to be changed. Instead of first pasting the two faces of the fan together and then run- g in sumtud ribs, the ribs are square and are pasted in their places in the manner described above. The oatside lacquered pieces and fancy work are all done in Osaka and Kiota, and some of the designs in lacquer on bone are really artistic; but the de- mand for the highly ornamented de- scription of fans is not sufficient to en- courage the production of large quan- tities of first-class work. hen the insides are drying the riveting of the pieces together, including the outer covering, is rapidly done, and a ;huhu[ varnish quickly finishes the an, i« A Friend in Need. Time over and again THouas' EcLctiic O1L has proved a salutary friend to the distressed. As a reliable curative for eroup in children, sore throat and bronchial af- fections, and as a positive external remedy for pain, it is a never-failing antidote. jyl7eodlw TTTAZE TEX !
