| Memoir ol Gen. T. J. Jackson. J
. A friend of this illustrious warrior, whose
r ! deeds are* now jjHou mling frooi one end of
j the" Confederate States to the other, has :
; enabled us to give the following sketch ot '
his life, previously to hia acceptance of a
command in the Confederate army. Since !
* that time it lm3 become u part of the his
* ti>ry of the country.
He was born in Clarksburg, in the
country ot Lewis, in tk*. year 1825, ui
highly res;*ct-ible, both whom
* died duri it; his inJ'aiiy'jfNleaving him ,
without n cent 'During his :
I early childhood boNm^J^d^yjth his uncle, !,
(-whose name we did'tf^ftku^'and ut the j
age of sixteen he conducted himself so w< 11, j
and produced such a favorable impression |
ol'hi* energy and integrity, that he was j
chosen constable of tho county. In the p
year 1842 a cadet had been appointed from
his district to West I'oiuf, who declined
to go. Jackson immediately conceived
the idea of filling the place he had left 1
vacant. Our "informant says that one day, '
while it was raining exceedingly hard, he 1
burst suddenly into his office, the rain.'
; streaming from his clothes, and told him j.'
I he must giw him a lottor to Mr. Hayes, ! 1
at that time representative in Congress
from the Lewis district. Upon being ! 1
asked what he wanted with such a letter, ! j
he replied he wished to go to West IVint. 1
His friend pointed out to him what lie '
I Cranio-1 as the absurdity of such a scheme, j 1
seeing that he was very deficient in educu
I lion, and would,.therefore, prubnbly not be < a
j able to stand the preliminary examination, j 1
; Ue acknowledged the alleged deficiency, ! f
| bat said he was 'sure he had the perscrver- j 1
, mice to tuske it up. He obtained the 1 '
I letter without any further difficulty, and < 1
that very evening borrowed n horse, under j '
promisesend him hack by a boy whom '
.ho carried wilh him, and rode to ('larks- k
burg to take the stager. it H.'id been rain- 1 1
i ing for weeks as it can only rain in that j '
; country, the roads were muddy and worse j '
"^hati we ever we heard of. .Jackson ar- ' :i
, ri\cd in time; b?u on account of the inuJlv 1
1 roads, the poSfin iKtor had furnished the '
, tiiffthtiti hour before time, and the. stage ;
1 waa already gone. With characteristic I '
; fidelity to his prOmiuft, .link-on sent the '
horse back, in?t ad of riding liiui on in ; c
' pursuit of the stage, and took it on foot '
I through the tnu 1. After a tmi of'thirtcen 1
miles he overlook lh.- s aye. jumped in. u
j went to Washington til ;t.a f lv a- Jiw ;? is.

From lite Augusta Constitutionalist
JbckHuii, Prico and Morgan.
These distinguished leaders have won a
place in the poputar heart which the most
renowned Generals might entry, and which
no rivalry can eclipes. They constitute a
trio" of starts or the first magnitude, looming
above too horizon, and shedding a cheering
light over tho ylouda and gloom that have
gathered around our cause. Their gallant
degds have, time and again, gleamed forth,
witff a spleudor that brightened the gloomiest
passages iu the progress of tho war,
and il.unlimited the diihcult path of our
young republic. In scientific strategy,
they ruay not be tore c4i hunt t, though,
juging by results, it point out
any commanders who have ^anpscd them
in skill!ul luaiuEuvcriny, in retreat, as well
as in attack. 15lit in headlong daring, in
vehement dash, in iron eiletcr mi nation to
succeed when the word onward, is (riven.
they have shone out moat conspicuous.
These traits have uniformly given them !
victory ugainai most formidable odds in |
every eiioouiuvr. They, arc true types of I
Southern character, in all its noble cle- j
incuts of chivairmis courage, enthusiastic
love of independence, and fierce detenus- I
'.ion to succeed in this struggle for their
rights, at nil hazards, and at every cost.
We look with cheerful hope to ttie I

>ur cause while Jackson, and Mor I
r.ui are in the field. While such men live
0 raise an arm in its behalf, that cause
vill live, and thousand like them will stand 1
birth in every part of our beleaguered and
o follow our tl ig to victory. The groat j
tliiefs of our armies, Johnston and Heaurc- ;
rard, are ifM the sole hope and reliance
?f the Southern people. *\or do all their
lopes of success . efitre in the issue of one

on authority which he thought entitled to c

was ordered up within range, and anon
cleared the woods and pens of tho Yaokeea

The vessels rocked, and the waters, cha?sd
