When once ei gaged, he seenie?l to discard afl id? of defeat, and to regard the issue i .fissured. And, what was more impo tant, his men seemed to share his toi vietion. A man less open.to the co: vietion that he was whipped, eon not be imagined. His indomitab combativeness, it might have be? said, made him set his teeth again fate, and endeavor to place, his lie upon destiny itself. . HE NEVER TRUSTED TO^LVfli. It may be said, of him with trul that he deserved victory. No nu vas mow careful in the usc of eve precaution to insure' success. T idea that he blundered ?in withe prudente ox system, ?nd achieved 1 success only by some mysterious go fortune, is a mere laney. No soldier was ever less indebted to "bick;" no one ever proceeded in military mat? ters ripon profounder logie/ He knew his strength and his weakness, but the difference between lum and others was this, that he. made his esti? mates more correctly. ? Me did not look to numbers only, but to . morale, the situation,- tho spirit of bis troops. With the three hundred of Leonidas he would have*attempted groat tilings; with the fifty thousand survivors o? Napoleon's Grand Army, crushed iu mond by Waterloo, he would have at? tempted nothing. " . HOW HE CONDUCTED A MARCH. In every point of view, as we have said, he deserved success". No gene ral ever made a greater use of myste? ry. He saw from the first that he commanded mon. of education, thought, speculation---Ino most inqui? sitive of private soldi*!-!;. Without due precaution taken they wert? cer? tain to know what it was inexpedient for the private soldier to know; his designs would be penetrated, and be noised abroad. Heno his inscrutable mystery. He would noe,permit his men to inquire thc names of ti ic towns through wilie!) they passed, ami on-the march, agu inst Gen. McClellan at Richmond, issued a general ordoi directing the troops to reply **I don't know" to every qnestiom Meeting u mau straggling toward ?1 ejieiry tree, he suie,: "Where-aro you going':"' "I dont know,"' was the reply. "To what regimen !, do you belong?' "I don't know." "What do you menu?"' "T don't l:i\ow. " .*..? toughed quietly and p.*fsset" on.

Tiley iorgo all else und grew reckless; und whei nu n become reckless, they go far Cedar Hun furnished an instance o this. The loft wing, formed of Jae!; son's veterans, was broken, and intel minutes the brittle would have beei lost. There w.-ro no reserves to pu in, and Jackson rallied the troops it person. The result was such us w have described. A single shout 0 "Stonewall Jackson!" ran ahmg th line, audit was reformed in a moment In front of thora, they saw a swon shining throng!) the smoke of action and recognized the old faded rap am piercing eyes of their chief. The rc suit was a new assswilt and one of th most important of Jackson's victories! His tenacity and strength of wi seemed to have no limit. Nothin appeared to si?ect that supreme res?, lution. Suth a man is the mustert fate, and, with Iiis iron hand, direct events. Napoleon trusted io his sta] and Jackson, it is said, believed in hi destiny-a word which lie construec apparently, to mean success again! his enemies wherever he encounters them. HIS HABITS D? CAMP AND PEESONAti Al PEARANCE. He was a "ma n of great kindness, < an extraordinary sweetness of tempe 'tender hearted, easily moved to pit and all pure emotions. He was simp and unostentatious in his manners an habits. He 'eared not w;>;it he nt and would sleep in a fence corner ; willingly as in fl Iu d. His old co was covered with dust collected fro the. battle-fields of many regions, he slept upon the earth in rm bivouac, alter the hard-fought fin All this endeared him to Iiis soldiei at whose camp-fires lie would stop talk in "the friendly fashion of t officers of Napoleon, and whose ratio l e would frequently -share. The. sig o. his faded coat and cadet cap w the sicm to cheer, and "OM Jack" was personally adored, a? iu his military, capacity he was regarded by his m'en as the greatest of leaders. . His manner- Avas stiff and his voice curt, but his smile was one of extra ordinary^iweetness. A lady declared it "angelical It wns certainly the ? most friendly imaginable, and charmed j all'who ei .oversea ?with him. Kvon j his peculiarities became sources of popularity, aitil endeared him to his troops. It was unid ol' ??uwjirrow that his men mimicked him, {?av<; him nick- I names, and adored him. lt wus the I same with Jackson. Hi.-i men laughed at his dingy old uniform, his cap tilt- j iug forward on his nose, his awkward strides, Iiis abstracted air, and chris- ? toning him "Old Jack/' made him their first and greatest of favorites. There was one peculiarity cf the indi? vidual, however, which tbey regarded With something like superstition. "We.
