BUTLER, PA., Aug. 7—"lt is doubt less true, as you say," assented Ken nedy Marshall, as we sat chatting to gether in his airy law office here, the other bot evening, and whistled for a breeze. "It is doubt'ess true that newspaper men tell more truth in a year than the majority of men in out side piofessions do in a lifelime, and I do not woader that you are grieved when ignorant or malicious people try to esctlpe unpleasant truths by attack ing the writer of them. Now, there was "Bull Run." Russell, for instance, tbe famous correspondent of the London Times, who criticised the conduct of our soldiers at Bull Run so sharply. They have tried "to blunt the point of his criticism by asserting that be wasn't tbere at all. Tbe truth is that our soldiers had no conduct worth mentioning after 4 o'clock in the after noon, and Mr. Runsell was there when the stampede took place; for he divided his lunch with me. Furthermore, we would have ridden to Washington to gether after tbe rout if his horse could have travelled fast enough. But it was tired, and I rode away from him, and so happened to be the first to carry the news of tbe defeat to Washington." Once into tbe field of reminiscence, Mr. Marshall could not well escape telling the whole of bis interesting ex perience on that hot Sunday at Manas sas, requesting only that bis name should not be published. As he much resembles his Pittsburgh uncle, Tom, recently mentioned in tbe Stalwart journal's "tbe Glorious," it goes with out saving tbat be is an admirable story-teller, and that a stenographer could bftve given a much more graphic report of this conversation than I. THE PICNIC IN '6l. "Richmond was quite a popular summer resort in July, '61," said Mr. Marshall, "and a great number of Northern people, politicians, congress men, gentlemen of leisure, ladies fond of a little well-regulated excitement, clergymen singing for virgin territory, aud business men seeking for a specu lation, made up their miads to take a flying trip to this new capital of tbe Southern confederacy. Our army of gallent young recruits, led by the val iant McDowell, under the direction of the sagacious Scott was to go ahead. Tbe rebel soldiers had been massed at convenient points in sufficient numbers to assist with tbe fireworks and furnish entertainment for the visitors. The campaign was to be a huge picnic at government expense, and I went along with hundreds of others to see tbe fun. I was a member of the Pennsylvania legislature, and the malaria common to legislative halls had left me half an invalid. Ben. Morgan, Charles Spang, Jr., of Spang, Cbalfant & Co, John Shaw, then flour inspector of Alleghe ny county, Bince burned to death at Scottdale* and Charles Clark of Clark fi Thaw, all Pittsburgers, were with me. There never was so large and respectable a lot of camp followers as those who followed our army out from Washington. Many of the most dis tinguished men of the country were there and there was no lack of «ood company. "We were just beginning to tire of tbe picnic, and were preparing to re turn to Washington to sjiend Sunday, when ou Saturday one of Gen. Mc- Dowell's aids told us that they were going to attack the enemy that night. There was apparently no attempt to keep the matter secret. At one o'clock Sunday morning, July 21, THE TROOPS KEOAN TO MOVE." "We left our carriage and followed them on foot I got separated from my party, and fell in with Henry J. Raymond of the New York Time*. We followed the right-hand column, under Hunter. You know how the battle was fought at first; how their skirmish line was chased, their bat teries charged and the eutire left wing of the rebel army rolled back beyond the Warranton road. We whipped them fairly in the early hours of the fight, and about 3 o'clock in the after noon Raymoud and I, sitting beside the road near the Warrenton stone bridge, were well in the rear of our advancing right. It was a hotter day than this, antl we were tired, half sick with the smell ol powder and very hungry. Along the road came Russell on horesback, with a big knapsack of provisions beLini him. He was an old campaigner and had come provided. We baited L m, and while he shared his lunch with us, told him how we were lieking them and bow we could seivetbe British the same way upon occasions. He had driven out from Washington since morning, bringing a saddle in his carriage. While we were talking together, we heard loco motives whistling over on the Manas sas railroad. The trains stopped in a cut out of sight. Pretty soon out marched a lot of soldiers in grey, with a stand of brigade colors, and came at a double quick across the field It was Kirby Smith with the last instalment of Johnson's army from Winchester, which had eluded Patterson. The panic which seized our troops when these fresh fighters hurled themselves at the Union liDes, already tottering with exhaustion, was wilder than any thing in military history since three Austrian soldiers coming out of the woods to surrender after the battle of Solferino put the whole French army to rout for a time. Regiments that had stood up to their work bravely since 9 o'lock in the morning melted away in a few minutes at the sight of the GRKY CHARGING COLUMNS. "There was no knowing what force was behind Smith, and Hunter's men did't wait to see. They took the road to Centreville, pell-mell, every man Tor himself The infantry charged their own batteries, cut tbe horses loose, jumped on their backs and went to tbe tear at a gallop. Rus sell disappeared on the tide at the lop of his speed. Raymond drifted away from me, and I didn't let many pass me in the race myself. It was the farther tbe faster, and after covtriag what seemed to me about five miles I dropped exhausted besides tbe road to rest. By and by Raymond came along. He had found his barouche and took me in. We wh'rled along in the crush of ambulances, artillery horses, privates, officers and camp followers on foot, ladies and politicians in carriages, and two or three hundred steers, all making the best of their way to Washington. A drove of cattle had been driven out behind the army to be slaughtered after the bat tle. They were stamped with the rest and added to the coifusion. There were many amusing inc dents. Eailier in the day I had noticed L. L. McGuffin of New Castle, since judge in t*iis judicial district, now dead. He was carrying water to one of the field hospitals He had beeo one of the "On to Richmond" crowd, had come down to stiffen up the president's spine, and was loud in advocating vigorous prosecution of the war. HOW JL;DOE M'G UFFIN RAN. "He was a large man and wore a long linen duster. When the rush for the river began bo ran with tbe rest. He was fat, and as the crowd gradual ly swept past bim ne at last began to think the rebels must be almost within grasp of his flying duster tails. Blind with sweat and dust, bo fell flat on bis stomacb. or as flat its he could fall on such a round stomach. A zouave, who was bard at bis heels, came down with emphasis on top. Mr. McGuffiu wa-« certain that tbe Philistines were upon him, and with a weak endeavor to roll his eyes around tbat be might see bis foemau's face, exclaimed: "Great God, gentlemen can this thing be compromised?" Before Raymond and I had driven fur an ordinary wagon crushed into our barouche and demolished it. I mounted one of the carriage horses. Raymond was in despair "Get on tbe other horse," I tried. "But I can't stick on." "Then good evening ; I am going to Washington." "Hold on, I can ride behind the nigger," exclaimed the distinguished editor, and he was about to clamber up behind the colored driver, when a carriage drove past with some congress men whom be knew and he got in with them. "I galloped away, but before I had gone far I saw a regiment drawn up iu a line across the road, with fixed bayonets, stopping the fugatives. I took to the fields, executed a flank movement and got past with a few others. When 1 came to the little field telegraph office near Fairfax Court House, I was riding ahead of my party. A wire had been laid out this far and dispatches from tbe field were carried to Washington. The last message sent had told how our troops were driving the enemy. "What news from the field ? cried the little operator with his finger on the key. "Our men are routed. They are running this way," I shouted back to him as I galloped past, lie cut loose bis instrument, tucked it under his urin and took to bis heels. When the next orderly came with a db patch, he found the battery dismounted, and that was how I catue to lie THE FIRST TO CARRY THE NEWS To Washington. I overtook "Bull Run Russel" and wo rode together for a while ; but his horse was fagged and mine wus fresh so I soon leit him. After that I rode foremost and alone. At Hall's Cross Roads I was chal lenged bv a Dutch sentinel. Ben Morgan had my pass through the lines but I had a annual over the Penn sylvania railroad signed by Tom Scott. I showed the sentinel the name of Scott, ami told himitwasGen. Win field Scott, the Commander-in-chief, and he passed me through. I got over the long bridge at Washington at 9 o'clock, just as the countersign was being given out for the night. I rode up to Willard's hotel, through streets thronged with people, wild with excitement over the favorable telegrams that hut] came in from the front. The brass hands were out in f>rce, aud somebody was making a rousing 'On to Richmond' speech from the balcony of the hotel. I walked in to the office, under tbe sound of his in spiring words, knowing how soon those cheers would be hushed to whispers of affright. Chadwick was keeping hotel then, and as I pushed r up to the desk he stared at me, hare i beaded and streaming with dirt arid sweat as I was, and finally recog- nizing me, asked me where I had been, what was the matter. "I came from the front. McDowell 'is licked out of his boots, and the wreck of our army is not far behir.d me." Chadwick dived back into his pri vate office with a scared face, aid in a few moments came buck and took me | in with him. GEN. MANSFIELD STAGGERED. There sat General Majsfieid, who was in command of the troops around Washington, with a bottle of , champagne before him. "Mr. Chadwick informs me, sir, that you report our army retreating. Ave you a military man. sir?" "No, sir." "Then how do you know sir, tba' they were not merely making a change of fron or executing some other military mancDuyre, sir ?" "Well, general," I replied as calmly as I could, while the grey-baired old martinet eyed me sternly, "1 saw whole regiments throw down their gons and take to the woods. I saw artillery mea cut llnir horses bose from the guns and cai-sons and gallop away. I saw offlceis, men, congress men aod Texas steers running down the road to Washington, and steers were the only luiagstbat had their tails up. It may have been a change of front as you sty, but—" ' I don't believe a damned word of it," broke io the general, who had listened to me with evident impa tience. "'Good evening,' I replied, and walked out of the door. The trowd had got the news by this time from Chadwick, and I was ulmost polled tj pieces. Somebody noticed tbat I was wearing a grey suit, and shouted : 'He's a rebel.' There were several suggestions tbat 1 be lynched for at tempting to stimulate a rising of tbe rebel element iu the city. Gen. Maus field hurried off to tbe war department and pretty soon a sergeant aod a squad of soldiers came for me and took me to tbe department. President Lincoln and his eutire cabinet were there, with old Gen Scott, anxiously waiting for news from tbe lront. Simon Cameron had known me as a member of tbe legislature and vouched for my loyalty. There was very little said while I told my story briefly. THE PRESIDENT DESPONDENT. "The president sat with his head bent down upon bis band, and was evidently very much depressed. Simon Oamerou, then secretary of war was the coolest head io tbe cabinet. He immediately consulted with Scott as to hurrying reinforcements across the Potomac, and orders were issued to stop all fugitives at Long b.idge. They asked me very few questions, but after I had told my story and was dismissed, the newspaper correspon dents Dearly devoured me. .lust as I came out of tbe war department I met one of Gen. McDowell's aids bringing in tbe repoit of his commnuder's de feat. The government took charge of tbe telegraph offices and suppressed every word about the final disaster. The glowing reports of the success of the Union forces iu the early part of the action were allowed to go out, antl the next morning the whole North was abluzu with lejoicing over our victory. The next day the Hue story was published, however, and I got more notoriety than I have ever had since. 1 was quoted as an authority in every prominent paper in the coun try." All of which proves that Mr. Rus sell was at the battle of Hull Hun, and also tbat he didn't stay long. ST. GEO.

KDITORS C'TZEN:— On Monday morning Aug 7, the County Commis sioners left Butler on the 7:30 train to make the annual visit to the institu tions above named, and arrived in the city of Allegheny iu due time. In the afternoon we visited the State prison in the city under the care and maniige ment of Warden Wright, was introduc ed to hi in and his assistants and after stating our business a subordinate offi cer was detailed to show us the prison and its inmates with ull its shops und working machinery. We were shown all the prisoners there from this county except one, William White, wjio was missed by mistake. We wore allowed to con verse with each one for a short time, if we wished to do so. The; all appear ed to be contented with their lot and are in good health, antl in answer to our inquiry stated that they were well treated antl well cured for in every re spect by those in charge of the prison; all say they gain in weight after they are sent there and all live in hope of again seeing daylight outside of the prison walls. Of their workshops I need say very little. They are very extensive ami well arranged. The shoemaking trade seems to lie ibe leading occupation. There is a tin shop, blacksmith shop, a broom factory and an extensive weave shop, all in lull operation, run entirely It} - the con victs, antl their work will compare lavornbly with that done outside by other manufactories. After spending several hours in the institution and saying good-bye to our boys we were escorted to the main entrance and, bid ing good-bye to our gentlemanly con ductor, w« nought our places of iliode to rest for the night and to prepare for the next day's visit. On Tuesday morning we took the train nnd in due time reached IHxmont Hospital and in troduce! ourselves to Dr. Heed, the ' physician in charge cf the hospital, who detailed one of tbe assistant sur ' geons to conduct us through the build | ing and show us the inmate*. All of ' our patients were conducted to one ' room and we were allowed to s|>eak to them and make any inquiry welhought projMT. We talked with Mr. Doutheti, of Adams townsbip ; who appears to IN perfectly rational antl asked if we had ! come to take him out. 1 answered iu the negative, and he then told me to tei: hs ..itnd* and Col.

The iomates are divided into families of fifty each, there being f.otu three to four hundred children there at the present time. Their ages rang ing from eijfbt to twenty jears At the present time they have vacation as other Public Schools, ajd tbe children are all at their employment; souie are making shoes others are making cloth ing and Still others arc cuttiug car.iet rags and some weaving c* pet.
