Vi make tbe following extract?t: Your correspondent lias seen many hi graphical sketches ot" the renowned "Stun ?ail; hut''hoy all abound in tnootisistei ? ie*, untruths, and inaccuracies. In tl bindii of some historians, his life, like ll short India rubber blanket of a long sn d.r-r, is MU ?itched to suit- tlte subject. 1 others th?3 eveutful history hus been as lump of ci.iy in the hands of a chi td - eapable of any degree of plastic disto: tiun or beauty from a Hindoo idol to winged statuette of Apohyon the Lovelj Some there be who declare him a mytl H will-o'-the-wisp, a dancing jack of th wild?srne??j, the creation of a mind-o a?y atnount of mind-disordered ; bu they err. Mr. Editor, Stonewall Jackso is a fixed fact, a melancbolly fact, a stub born fact ;" and that bis life may not g down into darkness, that his deeds i daring may not be wiped out forever lik a ?um in simple division on a schoolboy' slate, a historian is needed-one that i faithful, capable, and unbiassed like those for iustauoe, who do the biographies sketches for thc New York morning dui lit*-one that is wholly competent anc that careth uot a pin for Northern praisi ?>r Southern commendation ; in brief, on? like those who write the biog aphical his tories lor the papers aforesaid. ' Such ar one is Anno Domini, and he herewitl presents a history which he is willing ti take his affidavit is as reliable and worthj as though it was written for one of thos? immaculate sheets-the New York dailies Stonewall Jackson M'as born very earl) in life-^in luct, so young was he at ihai interesting period of his history, ihat?th? date^thereof lurketh not. in his own memo ry, nor .yet in that of his present biogra ?her. :Sufficient bo it to say, he wai born, he Aiiseatry of Stonewall Jackson hus hidiertcT^been shrouded in doubt. Sonic have aV?erted that lie is descended from Jack surnamed-1 e Giant Killer, and that :ho-"s?iyen-league boots" of the aforesaid J. the ?. K., are yet in his possession, which accounts . for. the celerity of his movements. Others declare him to l>e a? i/lfshoot of the Jacobin family, the founderof which was Jackaloe, the Chi nese Pirate. They are all wrong, Mr. Editor? Stonewall Jackson-is descended in a curved line from the Wandering Ji>w. In eiiHy time the Jew family was neb, but one evil day the flea?) of it neut down into Egypt, "tucked" against Pha raoh, and came hack with nary shekel, having lost them all in that interesting game. From that time till the discovery of tie Mississippi river, the family was too p xir^ to have a name. Stonewall'* grandfather ran a flat boat on the afore add river, and was extravagantly f md ?:f the elassic game of "old sledge." fie married, aid in the course of time had four sons, whom he named-to commemo rate his favorite game :-High, Low Jack and the Game. Jack followed the exam ple of bi* father, married, and had one sou, the pubjeet of this sketch, who was naturally ctdled Jack's son; and in course of time, Jackson. A family ' trait lurks in Stonewall, for at any critical stage of ?ie game hu is sure to " tum" up and be ?-,ime the trump. Yo'Jng Jw.kson in his youth gave great promise of future usefulness, so mjich so, ttoS- when he was sent to school he in variably r*4i' away to play "tag" and " leap frog," to the constant study of w iich bi ore* hh agility.

The sentinel was fa mediately senteiii'd to be hung, but wa ttrerwanls allowed to resign-. Tbe/NyW Yon; papers have given sue an accurate account of Stonewall*.* indi to ry exploits lint 1 n.-eil no more than giv i brief epitome, taken from the santere liable, source.' His first battle was at Bull Run, i lS.il, wlidre ho slew a whole division ti he FedeniLarmy wi lb his own hntsd, an then.got slewed himself, lu this hatti bf?th armies were defeated! ; but, lintot lunately, neither of them ' found., it ont ii time to take advantage of it. The Unioi army was greatly outnumbered, hu j"gain d a material advantage." (Se [ Mcdespatches;) UK it i In June, I8!5*2. he took command o j ."?00,0OO men. (see Northern p.'iners o j that, date.) and turned his nMynllon to tin i political economy of the Shenandoah Val ; ley. .Nut liking the state ot* die curren cy then*, he determined to abolish Banks in doing which several desperate battle were .ought/ in ali of which though out numbered, our troops " gained material \ advantage" (see \\-k's despatches), bul ! du? cavalry horses becoming thirsty, thc \ army fell back to the Potomac to watei j them. r Jackson's horses also hiing dry, he j pubbed on for the sante, watering place, j but learning that Fremont had cut loose, I fell back. Fremont following, a desper I ale engagement took place at. F rout Roy? j al, in which Stonewall would have been ! annihilated had not theil. S. Government I stopped tue battle (N. Y. Tribune) to hold j a court of inquiry, to see if Fremont had j not paid three postage stamps too much fur a bushel of oates, furnished through a California friend, to a horse of his body guard. While the court was in session Stonewall skedaddled. Fremont follow ed, however, and would have bagged him, if he had not taken the wrong road, (New York Herald) and travelled North while Jackson was going South. Getting safe back to Richmond, Stonewall bore a lead ing part ?n the battles in front of that "doomed'' (see all the papers) city. Aceording lo the Northern prints, Jackson suffered terribly in person du ring these battles. Ile lost his right leg at llanover Court House, and his left at Gainesville. The next day, while leading his corps into battle at Savage's, his horse baulked in front of a barrel of beans, which had been abandoued by our anny, and was compelled to dismount and go w on foot, in doing which he lost his tight arm. The succeeding day he lost his left arm at Peach Orchard. Two day? after, at the battle of Mal vern Hill, he stooped down to fasteif'his shoe, and while in that position his head was blown off by a 103,000 pound, shell. This was the unkindest cut of all ; but the old veteran merely raised his martial form erect and said :. " My bleeding coun try, I cheerfully make.the sacrifice. Old head, farewell !" These are but few of the wounds the old man has received - aceording to the papers. Even as I write the report comes that the modern Briar cons lost'auother armut Antietam. Stonewall Jackson, in persona1, appear ance,* is most unlovely-and it is said that he-liko the A.-diantees-files his teeth tn a^harp point every o'her morning. Ile stands eleven feet jive inches, (or five feet eleven inches, 1 am not certain which,) in his boots-when he has got any to stand in. His hair is Mack', and waa furnished to order by Batchelor; <?f New York. Ju re ligion he is at times a devout Catholic at least he followed closely in the footsteps of the Pone during one td' the campaigns; and at oihers , he is a colporteur for the American Tract Society-at. any rate he has probably left more tracts in Virginia than-any o her white man; nnd according to the papers, always goes into battle with a family Bible under one arm and a Greek Testament in-the- coat tail pocket, which he reads during the intervals of the lighting. _ . " ile is alwleinions .in his habil.v having been known to live nine days off of one sardine and a barrel of whiskey. In dress he is extremely iieat, never wearing a shirt more than three months without changing it. To suin..up, Stonewall/in private life, is-as Shakspeure. says-"a man as is a man, that we may-never look apon his like again.'' In his military capacity he ia*- to quote Sheridan ?i?iowles. "Ju peace u Jamb, in wa>r-^ Vi?w* eyT A huge Western paymaster was. re? I cent ly .introduced to Lincoln. Ry way of Spying something agreeable, the Hoo sier remarked : '.

A ' Fat Wnm.m in Tronblr. " " A dav <>r two'siiicr. just after iW ex press train left Stainton,, .where it, had Wen delayed a tow minutes. jo wood ar.d water, a rat ran from ono corner of thc car amid tho feet bf ihe passengers'. As SHOJI as ii was known that there was a rat ?m the. floor. of the cur, considerable ex citement. took place -among thc ladies, and crinoline took a sudden mp. The passengers struck at Inn ratas he dodged from one sido of ttV car to the ottW, with their umbrellas ami canes, but with out any effect-the old rat successfully avoided all the kicks and threat*, and dis appeared under the ?eat of a fat woman, who sat at one end of the car, half asleep. A "committee of one," self-appointed, .bucked np by half a dozen " lilli grown bu-)s,"* suggiMod to the fair Indy the pro priety of liaiug lo enable them tn (iud the rat. Now his no easy matter, f ?r a two hundred and fifty pounder, encumbered by a huge mass of crinoline, to rise at. a moment's notice ; therefore, she declined. She was duly iiifbr ned of the state ?d' uHtiir.s and the critical position which she occupied in the eyes of the public at that moment. Again she was requested to risc, but positively refused-like certain distinguished politicians she seemed - de termined to maintain h<?r position till n broader and tnoreeonprehensive platform was available. Various suggestions as, Co the. rat's whereabouts were made by "the boys," in audible whispers; which made I he fat woman " Mush like a full-blown r-ise." and to get her c}es open. . Many of the ?wissengers seemed to have an idea of their own. which wan ^uite amusing-lips .were cotnpressi-d-cheeks expanded ..teeth, worth fnun &:Jf> to untold fortunes, were exhibited ..There was silence deep a* Jeaib, I - Ami the'boldcst bebl Iiis breath Fur a time.'' But that time was d .videdly short, for atxhis time thc ladv in question gave a roll which made the. car fairly groan, ont; or two spasmodic kicks, and the two linn dred and fiftv pounder shot ??nt of her seat like a sky-roekit, upsetting babies and bandboxes, crushing crinoline, and beavers, landing about six feet from her sent upon a little old man, whom she i "nearly smothered, besides knocking otT his wig and ??therwise disarranging bis toilet, iijwin which he remarked to him self that she had better " simmer down" and join the circus. After vigorously shaking her dress, amid the laughter of the passengers, she regained her seat, and the huge mais o'* crinoline commenced to settle to its proper place, and quiet being once more lestored, one. of "Ihe boys," whose tnirthfulne's.s must be somewhat largely developed, burst out into a '"horse laujjh." The elliot was like a spark in a magazine, the whole ear exploded, and the fat woman joined in and laughed as hearty as the merriest. Her jolly old sides shook up ami down, mid the car springs vibrated, keeping exact time. The rat made his escape, but where, and how, was never known. -? ? liKSEFIT OF THE Sl'KINGS.-A lady brought a child to a physician in Utica, to consult him abou: its precious health. Among other things, she inquired if he did not thing the Springs would be use ful? M Certainly, madam," replied the doc tor, as he eyed the child, and then took a large pinch of snuff. "1 haven't the least hesitation in recommending thc Spyin-gs and the sooner you apply the remedy, the better!" u You really think it would be good for the dear little thing, don't you ?" " Upon my word, it's thu best remedy I know of." " What Spring-? would vou recommend, Doctor?" u Any will ?lo. madam, where you can get plenty of xwp and water." SIDNEY SMITH OX ENJOYMENT.-The great wit and rcviev.-er never penned wi ser and truer words than these: Mankind are always happier for having been happy ; so thu" if you make them happy now, you make them happy twen ty years hence by the memory of it. A chihlhood passed with a due mixture of rational indulgence under fond and wisc parents, effuses over the whole of life a feeling of calm plea-uro, and in extreme old age, it is the very last remembrance which time can erasa from the. mind of ??au. No enjoyment however inconsid erable, is confined to the present moment. A mau is the happier li ir life from having once made an agreeable tour, or lived for any. length of time wit.fi pleasant people of. enjoyed any considerable innocent pleasure; which contributes to render old men so inattentive to the scenes before them, and curries them back to a world that is past, nod to se?nes never to be re newed again. r?EPIPE TOR M.IE1NO EvEUr.A?T?NG SHOES.-A nobletsian of 'C Ascot iv (for all Gascons nre noblemen) complaining that his pumps did not last long enough, the humble shoemaker asked him oT what stufl' his lordship should like to haye them made ."Make thc vamp," said he, "of the throat of a chorister ; the quarter, of the skin of a wolf's neck ; and the sole, of a woman's tongue." . The astonished Crispin made bold with a second question, in the shape of'a timid and hesitating " Pourquoi ?" ? n Why, yon blockhead," replied thc ?wag, " because the first never admits wa ter; the second, because it never bends ori'either side; und the last, because, al though always in motion, it never wears out." - .. _.. ? . .. - A jeweller ad vertises that he has a num ber of precious stones to dispose of, ad dfltg that they sparkle like the tears of a young widow. Thirteen objection* were once given by 1 n young lady for declining a match; the. first twelve, being tho suitor's twelve chit- j dren, and the thirteenth the suitor himself. : A periou being asked .why ho .hail given " his daughter in marriage to a man with ? i whom he waa at enmity,' answered--<" I j ? ?id it out of puru revenge," J PFlILTSncB EVf.RT TVES?lESBAT XOHHIKO.
