debt, and insists on putting her in pris-
on, unless some one will be bail for her.
The girl replies, Then | have no hope,

what! will no one go bail for you to
save you from prison?" asks the stern
creditor. Il have told you have not a
friend on earth, was my reply. But

A Page from the History of
Gen. POpe'S Virginia Cam
nniNn. ~ ..-- n

In Hdrper's Monthly for November,
"Porte Crayon" General Strother)
continues his "Personal Recollections,"
by giving his experience in the Virginia
campaign of General Pope. As Mr..
Fitz John Porter has lately directed
public attention to this campaign by his
petition for new trial, the testimony
of General Strother, who served as one
of General Pope's staff officers, may be
of. some value and interest He was
one of the many staff officers sent to ac-
celerate the tardy movements of Porter
towards the front, having been dispatch
ed, on the morning ofthe 29th of Aug,
with written order to Porter to move
his corps on Centreville without delay,
as sanguiuary battle was expected on
that day.
This was the day when Jackson was
so severely punished, and when-in
Gen. Strother's opinion-"but for the
failure of Mcdowell and Porter to reach
the field, we should certainly have de-
stroyed Jackson" He enters in his
diary for that day the following
'Porter, who received the order car
ried by myself (this morning at sunrise)
to move on Centreville, and a second
order at Manassas, turning his course to-
ward Groveton, showed no disposition
to assist in the fight at all, but he laid
quietly in sight and hearing of the bat
all the afternoon. His conduit is indig
nantly denounced, and there is some
talk of summary arrest"
General Strotber says of the battle of
August 10th: "Without hesitation or
delay all the troops Immediately under
General Pope's eye were thrown upon
the enemy. All day long the roar of
musketry and cannon, like the sound
ing of mighty gong, invited the
absent to feast of death and glory;
all day long the white battle-cloud,
visible from hill and plain for twenty
miles around, beckoned to laggard and
skulker, to the exhausted soldier who
had dropped behind his regiment, to
the starved chieftain who may have
mistaken his way or misunderstood his
orders; all day long the anxious com
mander counted the minutes, and urged
his legions to a succession of brilliant
but exhausting attacks, yaiDly listening
for the burst from the enemy's right
and rear which was to give us the
victory" -.. ..........t..., ~
