about his own personality. That man

Patterson Recalled by Scott.
Let us turn to another picture. We
have already seen the singing reg1-
ments of General Patterson wading
the Potomac with the water up to
their armpits. Once on Virginia soil
they began the march from Williams
port to Harpers Ferry. The first inti-
nation Patterson received of John
ston's evacuation of Harpers Ferry
was dispatch from General Scott
asking as to his (Pattersons) inten-
tons as to pursuing the enemy and
adding that if he did not contemplate
such pursuit to send part of his
army Immediately to Washington. the
capital being hard pressed. Two or
three dispatches passed back and
forth before Patterson complied. but
at last he did so on receiving a per
emptory order.
General Patterson. who had been a
soldier In two wars, was bitterly criti-
cised because he did not occupy Har-
pers Ferry or follow up and attack
Johnston. ALI this he bore In silence.
and 1t was not till later that the fact
of his being commanded to send the
flower Of his troops to Washington
came out. General Scott's motive can
be understood. for Washington was in
Q state of nervous suspense. fearing an
attack from Manassas. As to General
Patterson's later failure to engage
Johnston and thus keep that general
from aiding Beauregard at Bull Run.

An Evening With Shakespeare.

A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the all star performance of
Mr.. R. R. MacLean, Miss Odette Tyler,
Miss Marie Drofnah and Mr.. Charles
B. Hanford, on Wednesday evening at
the New Opera House. and to all lovers
of Shakespeare, most enjoyable even
ing was spent. Mr.. MacLean and Miss
Tyler (Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Shepherd)
are SO well and favorably known in
Charles Town, that any words of at.
tempted praise would be superfuous,
except to say that Mr.. MacLean ex-
celled himself as Othello. and Miss
Tyler was most excellent Desdemona.
They were most admirably supported
by MISS Drofnah and Mr.. Hanford, who
made most favorable impression, and
we hope to welcome them to Charles
Town again. Mr.. Hanford, @Iago, was
excellently done, and Miss Drofnah
sustained well her part as Amelia.
