Wanted to Compromise.

Among the Northern men who went down to Gen. McDowell’s headquarters shortly before the battle, of Bull Bun, “ just to see the fun,”" was Mr. Kennedy Marshall, of Butler, Pa., then a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature, and one of his reminisoenoQs of the stampede and wild flight to the North, after the defeat, relates to the late Judge McGuf- • fin, of Newcastle. “He had been one of the ‘ On to Richmond ’ crowd,” said Mr. Marshall, “had come down to stiffen the President’s spine, and was loud in advocating a’vigorous prosecution of the war. He was a large man and wore a long linen duster. When the rush to the rear began he ran with the rest. He was fat, and as the crowd gradually swept past him he at last began to think the rebels must be almost within grasp of his flying duster-tails. Blind with sweat and dust he tripped on a log and fell flat on his stomach, or as flat as he could fall on such a round stomach. A zouave, who was hard at his heels, came down with emphasis on top. Mr. McGuffiu was certain that the Philistines were upon him, and, with a weak endeavor to roll his eyes around, that he might see his foeman’s face, exclaimed : ‘ Great God, gentlemen, can’t this tning be compromised?’ ” We see in the New York Spirit of the Times mention of the cure of Mr. George Drake, 46 Fifth sheet, Indianapolis, Ind., of a severe case of water rheumatism by the use of St. Jacobs Oil.—Cincinnati Enquirer. ,
