The HantIcun story.

The story that an immens number OF
andcuffs-variously stated at from 5000
to 80, ,OOO-were captured among the spolls
at Bull Run, has been extensively publish
ed in Southern papers, and is no doubt
generally believed by ignorant people 10
that section. The idea that an army that
had not wagons enough to haul two weeks
provisions, would carry 10000 handouts
to manacle prisoners, was considered so
absurd that it was not thought necessary to
deny the story at the North. Breckenridge
has lately been circulating the story 10 Ken
tucky, as an evidence of Northern atrocl-
ties. and one DIR. Andrews, Southern di-
vine of some note, in an appeal to Northern
churches, uses this language "Among the
vast aud various stores captured on Sunday
last. at Manassas, was a wagon loaded with
manacles, judged to be 5000 or 5000.
This had from on eyewitness on the spot"
In postscript, the simple divine says the
ACCOUNT Ol Tue iuduaClcs 10 NOhht nNNt ~"N
that they were being distributed all over
the South" for effect.
The Rev. Clement N. Butler, of Washing
ton, in letter referring to DR.. Andrews
appeal for peace, gives what is probably
the origin Of the statement, derived from
Gen. Mcdowell himself. 1t appears that
when the army advanced upon Bull Run, O
mutiny was threatened 10 one of the regi-
ments and one hundred pairs of manacles
we're taken along TO confne the mutineers
If necessary. The manacles fell into the
hands of the rebels, and the officers seized
upon the incident to further inf1ame the
minds of ignorant and unreasoning South
ern people. A simple statement OF the fact
that one hundred handouts were captured,
would have had no effect, so the number
was increased, first to 5000 or 5000, and
then to 10000 and $4,000. A Kentucky
correspondent says that the handouts now
"being distributed all over the South" as
trophies, we're mostly gathered from the
jaAs in and around Richmond.
