MANASSAS, Va, August, 1877.
Elltou IntslllgGnesr:
In the course Of my travelsI find my
self at last on the sacred soil Of the Old
Dominion, and am as you see at present
treading on historic ground.
This place is about seven miles from
the Henry House." which stood in the
midst Of the fret and second Bull Run
battles. Mrs. Henry was sick in this
house when the first battle began. The
family in their concern for her safety,
took her out into u gully not far from
the house. It was not long, however,
till they yielded TO her entreaties and
took her back. Just as they placed her
upon the bed, mimic ball entered the
dwelling and inflicted upon her fatal
wound. She now lies buried in the
yard. The grounds where the battles
were set in array are beautiful, il indeed
such term be applicable to such scene.

Of this road when the battles began:

10 pass over much Of the battle field. But
few traces Of the battle are TO be seen. In
the yard oil the Henry House, there Is 4

memory Of the Federal soldiers who fell
in the arst battle. The monument is
6uilt OF brown stone. The shaft IL about
fifteen feet high, cone shaped and sur.

support shells, which look rs though thew

though not deisced. No one can tell by
looking at it whether it commemorate
Federals or Coniederates. Those who

feelings Of their Southern antagonists,

INC SCORED mIstory OF o Ntrike,

The New York Pos! is informed on good
authority that the question whether the
the workmen on the Erie Railway should
or should not join in the recent strike
waa decided not upon grounds Of expe.
diency, but by mere chance; not by the
deliberate determination Of the leaders
that to Join in the strike was wise, but by
the determination Of pure accident; not
by the men whose welfare and the welfare
OF whose families were st stake, but by n
bar-room candle.
This Is tie way in which the matter
was determined: Seven men who in
some way had influence enough to bring
the strike ubou! or TO prevent it discus.
sed the question in a bar-rOom, by the light
Of q tallow candle. They had no desire
to join in strike for higher wages, their
only grievance being that certain men
had been discharged whom they would
have liked to have reinstated. They
knew, ofcourSe, tina! to join in the strike
at that time must involve considerable
loss and considerable danger to them.

would inaict seriousinjury upon the com.
pany which gave them their work and
their wages, ard upon the company at

was inseparably bound.
They were not convinced that they
ought to bring all these evils upon them.
selves and others, but instead Of deciding
the question as sensible men should have
done, instead Of weighing the arguments
on each side, and then submitting the
matter 10 their better Judgments, they
chose to subilitute the feeble flicker Of
the tallow candle Tor the light Of reason,
and they agreed that they would cast the
candle on the floor, ard abide by the deci.
sion Of mere chance. II the fame should 70

EdIlors Tnts1igenog:
A Taxpayer" in your columns OF yes
tenlay opposes the railroad subscription,
from u tax.paying standpoint, with some
differences thrown in for make weight,
which do not affect the argument. Your
remarks on the communication should be
fully satisfactory to every unbiased mind,
but there arc people who"Will not be con.
WINGED against their will" and who think
they have as much interest in opposing
The completion Of the road as others have
in advocating il. An additional re-
mark in reference TO the tax.pay-
ing question may not be out OF
place. 1t is fully believed by those
who have examined the question,
that tho earnings OF the road will
more than pay the interest on tho
mortgage bonds. II so, the interest from
the railroad will meet the interest on the
county bonds, AID there will be no taxes
to pay. Again, the completion Of the
road will make it tax paying subject,
and add 10 the subjects Of taxation, $500.

tional supply Of coal 10 the city and the
various other advantages Of trade and

In contrast TO the harsh criticisms Of
the London RE1miner on the recent Pan
Presbyterian Council, are the views Of
another leading and influential English
journal, the Spectator. That journal,
after pronourcing it to have been meet
that the iar-scattered children oil Knox
should assemble in the city that was his
home aud the cradle Of their testimony"
declares that to a stranger who had been
taught to regard Presbyterianism and
disPutatiOus theology as synonymous
terms, and 10 believe Samuel Buffers
description Of the sect as
"ThGt valiant crew
~ stubborn nI.tI, whom all men grant
To bs Tie tue church militant"
nothing could be "more astonishing than
the unnuimity, the difference, the mutual
respect" exhibited in the deliberations Of
the assembly. Indeed, it might DO OBJ.
jected that affairs were conducted too
serenely. "There was shown a nervous
dread OF anything that might arouse feel.
ing or promote controversy, which spoke
i'll as 10 the strength Of the bonds which
unite the Alliance, and as to lie chances
Of future usefulness"
The Spectator, however, is inclined to
pass over this matter. What really
troubIe6 it is the deplOrablc fact, that
the narrowed and hardest opinions,
such IS MOS. people have learned to look
upon as extreme, had m uuQuesIionAble
ascendancy," and must have been distress-
ing 10 the ears Of cultured and liberal
delegates like Professor Tulloch, Probes.

Especially mischievous were the foreign
delegates, NOTABLY those from the United
States" who propOunded reslly shocking

bytcrian Order, and the most rcpulsive
tensu Of the CalVinistiC 'ystcmittcnets
Of which Calvin himself is guitless.'
Practically, continues this journal, the

and Jesuits Qike Father Pctau) This
result signifies not the growth Of ortho.
do1y, but the growth Of liberality, (which
the somewhat fanaticAl outburst in the
Council will stimulate rather than re.

The Spectator, in conclusion, expresses
its disbelief in the realization OF "the
dream Of organic unity among all the
Presbyterian Churches Of the world and
quotes u part Of letter from Dr.. Dorner,
Of Berlin, who recently visited this coun.
