ihe Life of Stonewall Jackson, p
The New York Sunday Mercury pub- w
' ? t 'qI
lishos a graphic biography of Stonewall ^
Jackson, which will repay perusal. We 0,
make the following extracts: vi
Yonr correspondent has seen many biographical
sketches of the renowned "Stone- 0'
wall; bat they all abound in inconsistencies, ai
untruths, and inacouracies. In the hands e<
of some historians his. life, like the short .1*
India robber blanketfOf a long soldier, is ^
stretched to suit the. subject. To others *
this eventful history has been as a lump of "
olaj izr the hands of a child?capable, of
any degree of plastic distortion or beauty ^
from a Hindoo idol to a winged statuette of ^
Apollyon the Lovely. Som& there be who ^
declare bim a., mythj-JH will-o'-the-wisp, a

life m&y not go down into darkness,- that his -8
deeds of d&riog may not be wiped out for- P
ever like a sum in simple division on a c
schoolboy's slate, a historian is-needed^ ?
?one that is faithful, capable, and unbi- ^
assed like thos^ for instance, who do the ^
biographical sketches for the New York }
morniDg dailies-4one that is wholly compe- s
tent and that careth not apin for Northern 8
praise or Sontherh commendation; -in brief, ?
one like those jVho writo. the biographical a
histories for the papers aforesaid.. Such an 4
one is Anno Dormini, and bo herewith pre- >
sents a history which he is willing, to take x>
his affidavit itf as. reliable and worthy as {
though it was written for one of those immaculate
sheetsV-the New York dailies.
Stonewall Japkson was born very early .
in life-?in fact/ so young was he at that/',,
interesting period of his history, that the ,
date thereof luiyeth not in his own memory,
nor yet in that of his,- present biographer. C
Sufficient bo (it- to say, he was boijn. The c
| Ancestry of sjonewoli Jacksonj^3 hitherto j
been shroudefl in doubt. SJjg| havens- j
serted that ha. is descended^Sam JAok
sumamed the piahh Killer, and that?, the
"seven-league {Boot#' of the aforesaid J.the ^
6. K., are yet>in bis possession, which ao- s
counts for tbe-ceh$iJ of:.bia'movemen fcs.? *
Others declare him to be an offshpot&ofthe 1
Jacobin faffiily, the' fotrnder "of vfhiph was 1
Jackaloe /the Chinese Pirate/ They are 1
all wron<? Mr. Editor. Stonewall Jhcbou *
is descended in a carved line from thje Wan- *
deringJew. In early time the Jew"family 1
was rich,' but ooe evil day the head of it I
went down into Egypt, "tuckeiPyagainst 1
Pharoab, and camo back with nmy shekel, v
having lost them all ia that rate resting
game. Prom that timelill the-discbveiy of J
the Mississippi river, the family was too
poor to have a name. Stonewall's grand- 2
father ran a flat-boat on the aforesaid river, 8
| and was extravagantly fond of-^the classic 8
I game of "old Bledge." He married, and
in the course of time bad fouasoos, whom
be named?to commemorate bis favorite J
! gameHigh, Low, Jack and* the Game.
Jack followed the example o$hiB father,
married, and had one son,4he subject of 1
l this sketch, who was naturally called Jack's a
i son, and in course of time,, Jackson. A c
family trait lurks in Stonewall, for at any 2
critical stage of the game he.is sure to c
"tarn" up and become the trump. J
Young Jackson in his youth1.gave great
promise of futuro usefulness, so muoh so, {
that when he was sent to 6chool!be invariably
ran away to play "tag" and f'leap frog," ^
to the constant study of which he owes his
Agility. One day Jackson's pert, learning j
of his son's truancy, determined to chas- ?
tise it out of him, and so colfcred the in
cipient hero and bent him over bis knee,
thus throwing part of the youtifinto bold
relief. Mrs. Jaokson (the mother) then
seized a shirt board with both bands, andpro- 0
ceeded to bring the youngster to a scifse of
his duty by divers ponderous bloy$, with
that Spartan firmness that has eve/distin- '/
guisbed him, shed not a tear. At about
the fortieth blow the old lady padsed whilethe
old gent eased on his hold, inquired, ^
"My son, wilt thou go toschoolin future ?" j
The young hero raised his he^d, wiped his
sleeves across his nose, and looking up in- 2
to his lather's face, said : f/I say, old gen- r
?1? T I.'I.a ? / rjL.r r% ?ftooannat? nn r
lieiiltiOj YtLiy UUJ X HAU a \jifuktx puooQugvt uu ^
a canal boat?" "My sod, I knows -not," e
sagely&^servcd Jacksoty senior. "Why," f
said the young incorrigible, with a know- 5
ing wink, "It's bccaase I am bojirded a- e
stern." The poor outraged father could j
only yjaqulate, "board him again,old lady,.
board him again.y "Not I," sa^ttbe moth- j
er, dropping thedhirt board. jr"You ihight j,
as well larrup a stonewall."-'' j
From that day to this the hero has gone v
by the name of StonewallfJackson. "But, f
mother," sa^d the father as the released p
yonth sketaddled from the room to finish
his game df tag, "What shall we do with ^
the boy/' "Do? why send him to West j
Point;he ain't good for nothin'else."? r
Stonewall went Wedt to Point. Many inte- v
resting events occurred during his pupi- e
lag/tbere, but following the example of s
the New York papers, I condonse. r j
j Stonewall Jackson passed a creditably b
Examination, add graduated numDer two. a
(from the foot) of his class, and the reb^P- 5
lion^baving jfist commenced, was iinmefdi- I
atcly appointed a Brigadier Generally the t
Confederacy?the United States^ Govern- 5
ment paying his livery stable attest Point b
and hi3 passage to the rebol' lines. While c
passing' through our (tjtby he stopped to a
make.a sketch of ouf fortifications, when aiy n
inconsiderate sentinel demanded his v^b. s
The sentinel was immediately sentenced to e
be hung, but was afterwards nlloww to re- p
sign, f a
Thy'New York papers hade given such
an accurate account of Stonewall's military d
exploit^, that I need j>6 more than give a p
brief epitome, takep/from the same reliably,y tfource.
X j o
His first battle was at Ball Run, in /S61, t
where he sjtfw a whole division of ftp Fed- n
eral army with his own hand, and thetLgofc s
/ '
ewijd himself. In this battle both armies of
ere defeated; bat, unfortunately, neither fe
' tfcem found it oat in time to take advan- tl
ge of i^. The Union army was greatly ai
itnumbered, but "gained a material admtago."
(See MeB's despatches). t?
In June, lS62rhe:tookcommand-of 500,- ri
30 men^ (see Northern papera of that date), ci
ad turned his attention to the political ;oi
joiiomy of the Shenandoah Valley. Not
king the state of the, currency there, he ti
etermined to abolish Banks; in doing fl
hiuh several desperate battles were fought, n
1 all of which, though outnumbered, our n
oops j"gained material advantage" (see u
t? k'fc despatches), but our cavalry horses li
ecqraing thirsty, the army fell back to the U
'otornao to water them. . - ?. b
Jackson's horsesalsobeing dry, he push- c
d cm for the samg - watering place, bat a
jaroing that Frem3nt had cat loose, fell
&elc. Fremont following, a desperate ea- a
hgament took place at FrontRoyal, in b

Morgan's Haid Into Kentucky. r
One of the mo9t brilliant features that t
ias characterized the present war, was Gen. a
'ohn II. Morgan's late raid into Kentucky. j(
Gen. Morgan left Murfreesboro on the a
list of December, with four hundred men, j
(assed through Alexandria, crossed the j,
lumberland at Hardee's Ford and proceed- ^
d to Glascow, where a small advance sent
orward encountered the advance of the 2d ^
licbigan cavalry, when a short but spirit- $
d engagement ensued, in which Oaptain ^
rones'was mortally wounded?Lieut. Pat- jj
on and Sergeant Webb, severely. Captain
lewton, while in the manly discharge of
is duties, was taken prisoner and held g
brec hours, and after a desperate struggle f,
nth his captors, made his escape. Remorcements
arrived, and the Yankee cayalry, jj
anic stricken fled. S g
The command then took a Jwfe of inarch g
o Nolin, where they burnt the bridge at #
lacon Greekj tore^bpr'sevefal niiles of 1
oad, destroyed th^ telegraph poleg^and p
vires, captured several wagons he%rffy load- a
with government stores, aH^of which I
re re destroyed. We then-amoved on to a

iadc its appearance, and an unconditional t;
urrender was agreed upon. At this place b
ight hundred prigofcejB were taken, and d
aroled, also a large amount of stores, guns fi
nd amfianifcjdn destroyed.
The command-then marched up. to Mai- 0i
rough's Hill, where two of the most im- u
iortant trestles.on the road were destroyed 1
-one being seven hundred feet in length, e
ne hundred and twenty-five feet high,, and it
he other five hundred feet in length and
linety feet high. These bridges were
trongly stockaded, and a stout resistanoe 1
Fered, but shot and shell, we!! directed, f
11 in their midst with each telling effect a
icy were soon compelled to stack their e
:ms. a
At these two points four hundred were
ken prisoners, and a fine lot of Enfield
fleb,: ammunition, stores, Ac. Where we'
ipture snperior arras to oars, we handover
pur guns and take those captured.
The horning of these magnificent struc- *
:res, whose strength seemed to defy the.
Smes, was a scene of grandeur and beauty J
nsnrpassed. As the burning element
tonnted np the high framed work, lighting *
p a beautiful starlight Bky, for miles the ;
ne of road seemed in one lurid blaze, ;
Alle a thousand hammers andsledges could 1
e beard tearing up railroad iron, burning j
rosa ties, catting telegraph poles, blowing

The trestles were a long time burning, <
s if determined to forever retain their
cauty and strength, bat yielded at last
n^er the burning element, and fell from ?
heir dizzy heights with a grace and beauty (
f a thing of life. %
Ellsworth, the skill fnl telegraph operator,. ad
been amusing himself by conversing 1
ritb operators at different points on the '
oad. General Morgan, taking advantage
f the opportunity so favorably presented, ,
rished to be remembered to George D. .
}rentioe, Esq., and informed him that he
tad commenced the arduous duties assigned
dm, and was already superintending that *
oad, and hoped his diligence and experinee
would warrant a continuance of em- J
iloyment in that capacity, but suggested
hat his visit over the road and bis careful (
nspection would preclude the necessity of
mother trip in six months.
Oar Hoe of march was continued qp the
lolling Fork, and in the direotion of Bardsown.
While effecting a crossing at Boll- 1
ng Fork, our rear was attacked by a large '
oroe of the enemy, supported by cannon.
V spirited engagement ensued, in which'
Jolonel Duke, whose name is already 1
mown in the present war, was badly wouifd- '
id by the buying of the enemy's shell.?
He was, however, taken from the field and '
larefnlly conveyed iq^nranrimlanoerto 'bi^
Heads. His wound, it is feared, will.pre- >
ilude'the possibility of his taking the ..field '
or several weeks.
We arrived at Bardstown,^febd after ,
pending one niglrt^-marghed-^own the .
Jllrdstown and Springfield pike. Afrhffijf
it Springfield, we ascertained that at Lebnon,
nine miles distant, the enemy bad {
loncentrated a large force, amounting to ,
ifteen thousand, together with a large body
if oavalry, who were posted at every point. '
md disputed our path in every direction.
Chey made their, boasts that Gen. Morgan
iad made his last trip into Kentucky* aud
ndeed it appeared, in my hnmbie judguent,
to be the ease, for it was the darkest )
tour we had seen; but through the skill .3
md coolness of our brave leader, who plann- ,
id and executed a flank movement, we iett
jebanon thirty miles in the rear, marched
even miles in sight of the enemy's campires,
and arrived at Campbellsville before
bey were apprised of oar leaving Springield.
This was a masterly movement of
}en. Morgan's, and refleots great orodit on
kirn as a leader of brave man. From Camp>ellsville
to Barksyille an uninterrupted
ine of march was effected, and the oom
nand reached Smithville after a march of \
ifteen days. ,
Par loss in killed and wadnded will not ,
ixceed twenty, while that of the enemy
tannot be less than three hundred killed
nd wounded, besides about a .thousand
risoners.
Great credit is due. the officers and men '
jrho, on every occasion, behaved gallantly, '
xecuting their commands ^mnnptly, giving

Presentation to Col. MoMaster.
Game Kershaw, near Kinston, N. C.
January 17 th, 1883.
Mr. Editor: As hundreds of your readrs
will be interested in hearing from the
7th Regiment, S. C. V., I will state that
re are pleasantly Bitbated. near Kinston,
$ C., and with the exception of an oooaioual
case of smallpox, are enjoying excelent
health. We have frequent rumors ot
he advance of the enemy from Newbern
n this direction; bat as General Foster did
lot think it prudent to hold this place when
le obtained possession of it a few weeks
linoe, I think it hardly probable be will again
attempt to take it.
The officers and soldiers of this regiment
ook their Colonel with a very agreeable
inrprise a few days since. In the short time
if a few minutes, they had raised the handsome
sum of near eight hundred dolars,
which they determined should be ap
plied to the parohase^of a splendid horse
ind equipments. The purchase of this
horse was oommitted to Adjutant J. W.
Connor, who, after riding several days, selected
a noble iron grey/sixteen and a half
bands high, a complete animal, and /ally
worth the amount paid for him, (six hundred
dollars.)
On yesterday, the lflth instant, at 10 o'clock,
a. m , the regiment was drawn up in
three-fonrfchs of a square, and Capt. E. A.
Crawford, it behalf of the same, presented
the horse to Col. McMaster in the following
words:
Colonel: The officers and soldiers of
this Regiment, prompted by the high regard
and esteem in whioh yon are held by
them as ah officer and a gentleman, have
placed in my bands for presentation to yon
this horso. The duty assigned me is a
pleasing one, bat it would bo doubljso,
could I but command a flow of language, in
which X could fnlly remind you of the many
scenes of danger and death through whioh
you have closely and unshrinkingly passed
with us. From the green isles of oar own
teved State to almost the oentre of down
tro\den Maryland you have shared with us,
without respite, the privations of camp, the
sujferingand fatigue of forced marches, and
the bivouac upon the bieak mountains of
Maryland and Virginia.
And there are spots conseorated in history,
where we can testify in other places
to the noble and hproio manner in whioh
you stood forth our cherished leader. Yes,
the "second glorious Manassas," the ill*

rated "uoonsooro," ana toe long ana terrific
straggle of "Sharpsborg," with the
more-recent battles of "Kinston," all found
yob at your post, discharging your duty
with calm and determined courage, aod
blended with courageous qualities, we have
always found you the impartial and courteous
officer, the humane and Christian
gentleman.
Accept now, sir, this noble-steed, and if
destiny should aeoree that we must yet pass
through the storm of battle, may that God
who' has so often protected you from the
fatal shaft, still cover you with the same
mantle of protection, and permit you to behold
the blessings of peace, and return to
your home and loved ones, honored by us
all, as you now are.
CoL KoMaster then in a very happy manner,
replied, accepting the horse:
Officers and Soldiers of the VI th Regiment
S. C. Volunteers:
. More than twelve months ago yon select3d

nountains of Maryland with patriot blooch,
you, with many other noble regiments of

Mournful and terrific have been yonr sacriioes,
but alike hoaorable to yourselves and
your country. . v
Upon the plains of Manassas, wthea the
irigade to which you were attached was

iedaced by the casualties of battle and the
trivations of the march to a little band of

at Sbarps'ourg, engaged the enemy.

dvanoed line of Longstreet's division, that

bell of the euemy, for hoars masterly
oaintained its position, until a Georgia and
Carolina brigade on the right, and a Caroina
brigade on the left, had bean broken

by the hostile hosts which opposed
The aoeidents of battle, th> toilsome

this present, the alaority and promptness
with which the whole regiment have entered
into this matter, shows it is a hearth _
fering which would excite in a colder heart
than mine, the deepest gratitude.
To you, Captain Crawford, I return my
thanks for the complimentary manner in
which yon have bestowed the present. Yon

with me, have passed- through the battles
in which the regiment has been engaged,
unscathed by the death dealing missilps of
the enemy. We have been preserved from

Let us continue to invoke blessings upon

Yours, truly, L.Mr.
Daniel Chandler, of Mobile, has saggested
a plan for paying:off Ojpr national
debt witboat taxation. The : FloryUam
says that he is a financier of acknowledge#
ability, and was urgently recommended by
the people of his section as a Saitabln^rr
son to fill the office of Secretary of
sary. He has written a good deaf on the
subject of tbe currency since tW war co^
icenced, and his views have aUra<gtt$jfc

the national debUuri^sbu re'oenUy made
publioandconajsCjaswillbc-eeee,in giving
to the Government for a aeries of years the
exolusjvtfmonopoly of the cotton madq^fp#
is briefly as follows: ^?^3#
1. That the Constitution be to amended

as W UUNK9 VVUtEUStMa UWH *
.sod that the nationaldebt be feuded? $#{$
2. That the GoTwbweiit shall become
the purchaser m the entire cotton crop?
not for ope^ear.pply, but for a eeriee of
years?paying the planter therefore a fixed
and uniform prioe. ..
3. That Government, being the absolute
owner of the entire crop, and having ?&di?
Jrioe, and thus virtually make the world
pay our debts. 'TYjfraSftt/T '
4. That a heavy export duty be levied
upon every bag shipped on private account,
so aB to give the Government the exclusive
monopoly of the trade. > *
5. The cotton, even at 50 cents pefi?t%
is known to be the oheapest article for
clothing purposes that has yet been discovered,
and the present warjbas demooatrated
that the world moat and will have, even
at that price, though it might be policy te
sell .it .for less, V V*
6. That the Government ahaU guarantee
to the planter 12 cents for his cotton, and
then by selling for even double that price,
(mow oan be had,) the excess would not
only pay off the national debt in five yean,
but provide a fund oat of w won a navy may
be bailt in the meantime, and persons reimbursed
for ill dividual losses growing out
of the war. \ R

Treasury shows that from the commencement
of the permanent government to' the
