Memoir of Gcu. T. J. Jackson. |
. A friend of this illustrious warrior, whose 1
deeds are" now (founding from one end of
the Confederate States to the other, has
enabled us to give the following sketch of
his life, previously to his acceptance of a
command in "the Confederate army. Since
that time it Ims become a part of the history
of the country.
He wan horn in Clarksburg, in the i
country of Lewis, in tin. year 1820, oi i
highly resj*?M:?ble% both wliom
died during h.y i n laMT* lea\ ing him,
without a cent u^tW woM. -'During his j
early childhood iTcNtn^^K^witb his uncle, 1
whose nsme we dM'tf^^feJCind at the |
age of sixteen he conducted himself so w< 11,
and produced such a favorable impression
of his energy and integrity, that he was j
chosen constable of the county. In the"
year 18 42 a cadiH had been appointed from
Ins district to West IVdtif, who declined j
to go. Jackson immediately conceived
the idea of filling the place lie had left
vacant. Our Informant says that one day, i
while it was raining exceedingly hard, he !
burst suddenly into his office, the rain!
itreamiug from his clothes, and told him I
lie must give hiin a Icttor to Mr. Hayes, )
it that time representative in ('.mgress
rom the Lewis district. Upon being I
isked what he wanted with such a letter, j
le rcpltutl he wished to " ) to Wivt I'oint.
His l'ricnd pointed out to him wh.it he
re?ardod m.s the :ibsurdityvofsuch a scheme,
teeing that he was very deficient in eduou:iofi,
and would,,therefore, probably not be
iblc to stand the preliminary examination. j
He acknowledged the allowed deficiency,
jjt naid he wat sure lie had the perserverlUCe
To make it lip. lie obtained the i
letter without any thither difficulty, and
that very evening borrowed a horse, under
promise lo send him baek by a b?>y whom t
lie carried with hitn, and rode to t'l.irksI'Urjj
to take itie ftajte. It had been rain- '
uig for weeks as it can only rain in that
i-ountry, the roads were muddy and worse ,
Ihuti wc ever we beard of. Jackson ,ir- '
rived in time; l.tu' on account >f the muddy
roads, the poStm ister had furnished the

In* ?;:i i if lie could got a reinforcement of |

battery opposed to him, insN.il of abin
hiuing his own. lie sent for tin* ihiii-mI 1
reinforcement, but before it rmio he had
already stormed the obnoxious battery.
Jackson's h -nllli was so inuj-h shattered
liy this campaign that he w is coinjn lh^L:
to rcsigij. '1? accepted a |.rofe!isor.*jii| rj
the Military Institute, where he eontinm-ii
until the secession i>f \ irgiuia. In height
lie is about six feet, with a weigh "?f about

himself to he fir his fighting <ju hti- s

-was professor of the Institute, lie appears
to be a nun ofaltnn t superhuman endu
ranee. Neither beat or cold makes the
Jlight>-dt impression upon him. lb1 cansnothing
for good quarters.and dainty tare
Wrapped iu his blanket, he throws himself
down on the gtound anywhere, and
sleeps as soundly as though he were in a
palace, lie lives ?s the solJiciii lives, and
endures all the fatigue and all the suffer
ing they may en-lure. Ilis vigilance is .

before th?y uun ;;iako up iheir uiiud.s 1 ?

hayg little baggage, and he moves ?? ; nearly
as he can without cnoumbrance. He
keeps jo constantly in motion that he net

In thest habits, uid in a will as determined
of that of Julius Cicsnr, arc r> au the
secret td his-great success IJio men adore
him, because he requires them to do nothing
which he does not do him: elf, because
he constantly loads them to victory, and

in skillful niancEuvcriny, in retreat, as well
as in attach, lint in headlong daring, in
vehement dash, in iron determination to
iflueoeed when the word onward, is given,
they have shone out most conspicuous.
These traits have uniformly given them
victory against most formidable odds in
every encounter. They, are true types of
Southern character, in all its noldc elements
of chivair )US courage, enthusiastic
love ot independence, and fierce detenustion

to hasten our redemption from Yankee

Southern independence, defeat and disaster
at both fit these points could not destroy
our cause while Jackson, *Ticv, and Mor

to raise an arm in its behalf, that cause
will live, and thousand like theui will stand

In hif official report of hia disaster and
flight, General Bunks states that he lost fit*
ty waguur
A gf n'Jeniuii of our acquaintance, who
haa held a?responsib'c post in Jacktou's army
for twelve months, assures us that at
h ast 10'I captured wagons were driven out
from Newton ; that lie liimaeli counted 40
?nt f'edar Creek;* tlut they were eirotched
along the road bctweeu Mtddlefrwu and
Newtown, a distance t i' live utiles, there!
being uue in every u0 .>r a.hundred yardsr
tTial ifhfA's -urnt thirty wagons with oomuii*a?ry
stores below Newtown; that he
left many between Winchester and h a cr.au

whole loss in wagutis was not less than 300
ior 100.

of Jackson's army within the lust]

There i-? no truth in the report that the |
prisoners at Front.Royal bud been re cup |
tured t^y the enemy. All the" prisoners 1
were brought off, except a fow ot the 1
wounded. A company of the 12th Georgia
regiment tell into the enemy'a hands,
by some blunder on the part of an officer
A Lout 3,01)0 prisoners were secured ns.the 1
^uits o' the expedition down the Vulltfy
p'.ir informant, a physician, estimates the
\a ue of th- medical ft'ores taken at Winchester
at from $75,000 to $100,000.?
J tie stcres end race almost everything u.-eful
and valuable in the medical department, i
including a very large quantity of opium ]
The value of all the articles secured to the J
f Confederacy is estimated at several millions.
The loss to the enemy is admitted, by one
of Hanks* Chief < 'ommissarics, who is now
a [ risnner, to b** almost incalculable.
Tin gentleman above alluded to, static
on authority which he thought entitled to
rru lit, that (loner*! Hanks put ttolen tiepriiji

The Examiner of f*aturd?y nyi;
On Thursdays detachment of the Richmond
Blues had ? skirmish beyond the
Chiokahominy, on the right wing of the
arjny. with a body of Yankee Infantry.
The fire ot the Blues killed six of the Federals,
and placed several hart Ju combat
when they rctreatfed. Wo heard of no
equalities ou our side.
Ou the evening of thc-wamo day a psrty
of Confederate scouts, consisting of a captain
and four 'privates, who volunteered
for the purpose, went out eight miles on
the Charles City road, hut discovered no
Yiitrk-ec*.
It is believed that the obstructions in
James river below Prury's Bluff have been
matte stronger by the freshet in the river
washing down the send and refuse against
them.
Karly yesterday morning it was made
evident to our pickets that the enemy had
erected rifle pens near the woods on l>r.
(lamella larm. Two of our pickets were
wounded by their sharp-shooters. Captain
Kirkpatricks artillery, from Lynch burg,
was ordered up within range, and soon
cleared the woods and pens of the Yankees
by rapid discharges ot shot and shell
amongst them, but with what to
the enemy was unknown. No our was injhrcd
among the artillerists.
?evetal days since a couple of picket*
of a Texas reuimeut, on duty on the Chickabmpiny,
saw a short distance in advance
of thetn what appeared to be a scrub tree
moving in th-u bushes. Oae of them filed
and the tree fell! Inside of it a dead Yankee
wan found. lie had strapped the

the woods, making observations on the
Confederate- lines.
It was saili yesterday that McClellan wan
concentrating troops in the vicinity of tke
battle-ground of the let instant, beyond
the Nine .Mile road. There wis DO move-,
uient along the lines that we can notice.

Citraotdlnnr) Memory.
The learned Bishop Jewel, who died i*
1671. was blessed with a most woaderid
int'Uiory. lie oould exactly repeat whatever
In* had writen at any former period
after once reading it. During the ringing
of the hell for public worship ,Lc could commit
to memory a whole sermon, and pror.ounce
it without hesitation Ilia usual
custom was to write the heads of his stern
ons on hie memory, and to firmly were
they, after a few minutes, imprinted oa his
teiud, that he used to say, that if ten thousand
people were fighting and quarrelling
all the while he was preaching, they eoe!<
not confuse hi in. To put him taafatl
trial, !>r. J'arkhurst uttered to him some
of the mont difficult and barbarous words
he could find in a calendar; and Bishop
Hooper, of Gloucester, gate him fifty
Wivh, Irish, and foreign words, and after
on Co <*r twice reading, and a little recolleotion,
ha repeated them all backward and
forward. In the year 1503, Sir Xichdlat
Bacou, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal,
having read to him from Erasmus* paraphrase,
the last clauses of ten line-*, cwafusel
and imperfect, with the view of more
fully trying his gift, sitting silent awhile,
and wiring his Hcail with his .hand, h?
rehearsed all the broken parts the right
way, and the. contrary, without hesitation.
He prufi;ssii to teach this art toothers,
and so instructed his tutor, Dr. Park hurst,
at Zurich, that within twenty-eight days,
bv giving ouly one hour each day to the
subject, he learned nil the twenty-eight
charters of thn Gospel of Matthew so perfectly,
that he could repeat any verse,
telling what went before and what followml.

MY MOTHER.
The influence of a christian mother's
rum, uusolti-h lore upon her child is never
lost. Worldly pursuits may cover it
from aii'dove, warm and passionate,
*cein to i'Urn it from the heart, but with
subtle gentleness it still exerts its hallowed
power. Many a dying bed has bor?c
such testimony m the following :
-If I oould only sec my mother!*'
Again and again was that yearing cry
repeated ?
-If I could only sec my mother !"
