I havei just receive d your letter ak ing me to give you some information in regard to the last wound of Gene ral Jackson, that you may correct the statement published in some Northern magazines by General De Peystor and Colonel Clifford Thom pon. The former, you say, claims that General Jackson was shot by the First Massa chusetts Infantry, and the latter that he was killed by a cannistershot from Pleasonton's artillery. You will find an accurate account of the General's last wound and death in Dabney's "Life of Jackson," or in the account I wrote and published several years ago: The facts are briefly these General Jackson made the attack May 2, with his army in three lines of battle. Rhodes' Division oeeupi ed the front line, and Colston's Di vision the second line, and 11111, with a part of his Division in line and part in column, the third line. During the attack and rapid pursuit, of the enemy, Rhodes' and Colston's Divi sions became commingled and moved in one confused mass. Rhodes, find ing how disordered the troops were, asked Jackson to send Hill forward to Lake the advance, and permit the first and second lines to be formed. While this was being done, Jackson, accom panied by some officers and couriers, rode forward to reconoiter. lie ad. vanced as far as the Federal picketm, and then turned to come back to his line, when his party, mistaken for Federal cavalry, were fired into by the Confederate line of battle. The fire was probably from troops who had just been placed in position, and did not know that Jackson was 19 front of them. I think this was the General's inpression in speaking of it afterward. Several of his party were killed and wounded by this fire but the General escaped, and turned tj his left entered the forest and con tinued to approach his own line. When within thirty or forty yards of it a becond volley was fired, which wounded him in three places. One of the wounds was in his right hand, and the other two in his left arm. It was a round ball, such as was usad for the smooth-bore Springlield muskets. The wounds in his left arm were believed to have been made by the same kind of bullets. The Confederate troops who fired the volleys at the General and his escort were armed with smooth-bore muskets. I will add that General Jackson did not die from these wounds. His death was the result of pneumonia, and ocourred eight days after the wounds were receited. Yours, very respectfully, HUNTEI McGUIRE, Late Chief Surgeon Jackson's Com mand.

The Encoiragement of Manufao.irda. We have repeatedly doolared our firm belief that permanent prosper ity can be secured only by diversity in the productions of our farms, and - diversity of industry In our tow s and on our streams. The peoplo of South Catolina can become neither rich nor really intelligent and enter prising without the establishment of manutetures in every patt of the State. In eVery county we must put the factory beside the farm. We have urged our people to tak-o hold of this matter themselves. If they invest this year a portion of their cotton crop in constructing cotton mills, they will bouin the miovemncut. 'which will make them rich. And it. is not a wealth in the distant future, but close at hand. We once read of a New England farmer who would not plant apple trees, because lie said ha should not eat fruit from them. But his grandson planted an orchard, and the mistaken grand father drank barrels I of eidor made from the applos. - So of I this matter; if planters take hold, i they will find hnlp in the State and i out of it-. If the cotton pi-oducers lend a hand the good woi-k will go on, and they themselves get the honefits of it; get, indeed, three paolit-in t manufacture, in better sales of raw I cotton, and in increased price for < other farm products. These inducements are great. But to those are superadded, as it were, a< a bounty both by the State and by the nation. The State has. generously t authorizedi a rebate of all State taxes t on capital hereafter invested in ianu. factures of cotton or wool. This is i done in the just hope of stimulating < in every part of the State the imme, r diate construction of factories. If i there be anything like a general I movement in this direction, our whole t people will rejoice in this wise legis- 1 lation.t Tihe national Government, too, I seoks to stimulate all kinds of manu- t facturing by a protective tariff. This e tariff will be continued for some years t yet., we may be quite sure, and undor it we may justly hope to sae factories < rapidly spring up in the now recupe- i rating South. There are those among us who a fiercelv denounce "protection." Btt I whether it be right or wrong, it is a fact; and those who are disposed to invest money In manufacturing in F'outli Carolina will find the antual i "protection" of the Government to be f a great aid.-S. C. Republican. The ldestitution and desolation. of great London have sonic curious t illustrations. A woman and her sons of five years have for some time been living alone; but recently he for several days was seen playing near the house ! with no sign of his mother. Bome of I neibhibors inquired of the child It whether lie had had plenty of food j during the week, and he replied that I all he had had was what was left 'in < the cupboard, and that there was plenty r still remaining there. Upon missing ] the child's mother, one of the neigh bors inquired how ehe was, and whith er she had gone. The little child, with great simplicity, replied, "Main ma is lying in bed, and bhe will not I speak to me, and she is so cold, like a a lumipof iae, when lay in bed withti her." The same person said, "Per- i haps she inf dead," when the buy re plied, "I think-so too, for as is so cold, and I can't get her. to apeak at:I all." Thle neigh eors, upon entering the room, foundi the unfortunate. creature lying stiff' and cold in bed, where she had been dead for two-or taree-days, and the poor child had been laying at her side in bed during< that time,.ftr I'Ass1Y~G AwAY.-Yesterday atr noon the last tribute of lovo and af fection wvas paid, in the Presbytarian '1 church of' his city, to the remains of Mrs. John A..
