The venerable Capt. Philip Slaugh-
ter, now (May, 184l0 living in Culpep-
per, was mess-mate of Marshall in the
time of the Revolution. He says Mar.
shall was the best tempered man he
ever knew. During the suffering at
Valley Forge, nothing discouraged, no
thing disturbed him: if he had only
bread to eat it was just as well; if only
meat, it made no difference. If any of
the officers murmured at their depri-
vations, he would shame them by good
natured raillery or encourage them by
his own exuberance or spirits. He was
an excellent companion, and idollzed
by the soldiers and his brother officers,
whose gloomy hours were enlivened
by his inexhauslible fund of anecdotes.
For sterling honesty no man ever ex-.
ceeded Marshall. He never would,
knowingly, argue in defence of injus-
tice, or take legal advantage at the
expense Of moral honesty. A case OF
the latter is in point. He became an
endorser on bond, amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars. The drawer fail
ed,and Marshall paid ,although he knew
it could be avoided, ,inasmuch as the hoI-
der had advanced the amount at more
than legal interest.
He possessed a noble generosity. In
passing through Culpepper, on his way
to Fauquler, he fell in company with
Mr.. s., an old fellow officer in the ar
my Of the Revolution. In the course
of conversation, Marshall learned that
there was lien on the estate Of his
friends, to the amount of $4,000, about
due, and he was greatly disturbed al
the prospect of i'm pending ruin. On
bidding farewell, Marshall prIvatel y
left check for the amount, which be-
ing presented to Mr.. S. after his depar.
ture, he, impeled by chivalrous inde.
pendence, mounted, and spurred on
his horse, until he overlook his friend.
He thanked him for his generosity. but
refused to accept it. Marshall strenu'
ous'y persisted on its acceptance. and
the othera thorough! persisted in not
accepting. Finally it resulted in a
compromise, by which Marshall took
security on the lien, but never called for
