TRELLO. ^^ The Last Battle, Wounding, AND >-\. . , DEATH of STOMEWALL J A.CKSU3. Tbe following authentic and deeply interesting account of the wounding and death of the great Confederate chieftain, Stonewall Jackson, is taken from the May - number of tbe Richmond Medical Journal. " No one will regret the spaoe it occupies in our columns. The battle of Chancelloreville was fought on the 2d and 3d of May, 1863. It was on tbe night of the 2d that the dreadful accident (General Jaokson having received bis wounds at the handB of his own men) occurred, which was the turning point in the fortunes of the Confederacy. We append the aooount: Last Wound of the late General Jackson \ (Stonewall.) The Amputation of the arm?Sis last Moment* and Death?j By Hunter McGuire, M. D., Professor of Surgery in the Medical College of Virginia, and late Medical Director of Gen. Jackson's Command. - r Supported upon either Bide by hia aids, Capts. James Smith and Joseph Morrison, the General moved slowly and painfully tothe rear. Occasionally resting for a moment to shake off the exhaustion whioh pun and the loss of blood produced, he at last reached the line of battle, where most of the men were lying down, to escape the shell and canister with whioh the Federals, raked the road. General Pender' rode np to the little party and asked who was wonnded, and Captain Smith, who bad been instructed by General Jaokfon to tell no one of his injury, simply answered "a Confederate officer; but Pender recognised the General, and, springing from his horse, hurriedly-expressed his regret, and added that his lines weie so mnch broken he feared it would be neoewary to fall back. At this moment the scene was a fearfnl one. The air seemed to be alive with the shrieks of shells and the whistle of bullets-; horses, riderless, and mad with fright, dashed in every direotioo; hundreds left the ranks and fled to the Tear, and the groans ' * -? * ? 1 3 oi toe wounaea ana ajmg, mingiea who tbe wild shoots of others to be led again to the assault. Almost fainting as he was, from lo68(of blood, fearfully wounded, and, as be thought, dying, Jackson was undismayed by this terrible scene. The words of Pender seemed to rouse bint to life. Pushing aside the men who supported him, he stretched himself to bis full height, and ' - answered feebly, but distinctly, enough to be heard above tbe din of battle, "General Pender, yon most hold on to tbe field, yon must bold out to the last." It was Jack' son's last order npon the field of battle. Still more exhausted by this effort, be asked to be permitted to lie down for a few . moments, but the danger from the fire, and 'capture by the Federal advance,* was too . imminent, and his aids hurried him on. A litter having been obtained, be was placed upon it, and tbe bearers passed on as rapidly as the thick woods and rongb ground permitted. Unfortunately one of the bearers was struck down, and the litter iiaving been supported at eaoh of the four corners by a man, fell and threw the General to the ground. The fall was a serious one, and as he touched tbe earth he gave, for the first time, expression to bis suffering, and groaned piteously. Captain Smith sprang to bis side, and as he raised his head, a bright beam of moon light made its way through the tbiek foliage, and rested upon the paie face of the poor sufferer. The Captain yi&s startled by its great pallor and stillness, and oried oat, "Oh 1 General, are you seriously hurt?" "No/' he answered, "don't trouble yourself, my friend, about me/' and presently added something about winning the battle fi?t, and attending to the wounded, afterwards. He was plaoed upon the litter again, and carried a few hundred yards, when I met him with an ambulance.' I knelt down by him, and said, "I hope you are not badly hart, General." He replied,, ery calmly, bat feebly, "I am badly injured, Doctor; I fear I am dying." After a pause he continued, "I am glad you have come. I think the wound in my shoulder is still bleeding." His clothes were saturated with blood, and haemorrhage was still going on from the wound. Compression of the artery with the finger arrested it, until lights being procured from the ambulance, the handkerchief, which had slipped little, vu readjusted. His calmness amid toe dangers which surrounded him, and at the supposed presence of death, and bis uniform politeness, which did not forsake him, even under these, the most trying eiroamstanoes, were remarkable. His corn* plete control, too, over his mind, enfeebled as it was by loss of blood, pain, &c., was wonderful. His suffering at this time was intensej his hands were cold, his skin clammy, his face pale, and his lips compressed and bloodless; not a groan esoaped him, not a sign of suffering, except the slight corragatioo of his brow, the fixed rigid faoe, and the thin lips, s6 rightly compressed that the impression of the teeth cQtUd be tftnm tlfnant thftoa ha Ann. OCCU BUtVUgU ?UVU?| UAW|r? WW ? trolled, by his iron will, all evidence of emotion, and more difficult than this even, he controlled that disposition to restlessness, whioh many of as have observed upon the field of battle) attending great loss of blood. Some whiskey and morphia were procured from Dr. Straith and administered to him, and placing him in the ambulance, it was started for the Corps Fielf Infirmary, at the Wilderness Tavern. Col. Crntohfield, bis Chief of Artillery, was also in the ambalance wagon. He had been wounded very seriously in the leg, and was suffering intensely. The General expressed, very feelingly, his sympathy for Crntohfield, and once, when the lattet groaned alood, he directed the ambulance to atop, and requested me to see if something could not be done for hie relief. Torches had boon provided, and every means taken to qarry them to the hospital, as safely and as easily as possible. I sat in the front part of the ambnlance, with my finger resting upon the artery above the wonnd, to arrest bleeding, if it should occur. When I was recognized by acquaintances, and asked who was wounded, the General would tell me to say, "A Confederate officer." At one time be put his right hand upon my head, and pulling me down to him, asked if Crutohfield was dangerously wounded. When answered "No, only painfully hurt" he replied, <tl am glad it is no worse/' In a few moments after, Crutohfield did the same thing and when he was told that the General was very seriously wounded, he groaned, and cried out, "Oh, my God .1" It was for this that the General direoted the ambulanoe to be baited, and requested that something should be done for C's relief. After reaobing the hospital, he was placed in bed, covered with blankets, and another drink of whiskey and water given him. Two hours and a half elapsed before sufficient reaction took plaoe to warrant an examination. At two o'olook on Sonday morning, Surgeons Blaok, Wall and Coleman being present, I informed him that chloroform would be.given him, and his wounds examined. I told him that amputation would probably be - required, and it WAS MAAAIlflAM* MkofllAP i?B2kOUj LL IV WOO 1VUUU UCUCDOaiJ j HUOWMW it should be doae at once, fle replied promptly, "Yes, certainly; Dr. Maguire; do for me whatever you think best." Chloroform was then administered, and, as he began to feel its effects and its relief to the pain he was snffering, he exclaimed, "What an infinite blessing," and continued to repeat the word "blessing" until he be. came insensible. The round ball?such as is need for the smooth bore Springfield musket?wbiob bad lodged under the skin upon the baok"of his right hahd, was extracted first; it had entered the palm about the middle of tire band, and had fraofcured two of the bones. The left arm was then amputated, about two inobes below the' shoulder, very rapidly, and with slight loss of blood, the ordinary cironlar operation having been made. . There were two wounds in his arm; the first and most dangerous was about three inches below the shoulder joint, the ball dividing the main artery, and fraotnring the bone. The seoond was several inches in length; a ball having a. J . . 1 . ? # ! L entered me ouisue oi mo roreaun, ao men below the elbow, came oat apon the opposite side, just above the wrist. Throughout the whole of the operation, and until all tbe dressings were applied, he continued ins* isible. Two or'three slight wounds of the skio in his face, received from the branches of trees, when his horse dashed through the woods, were dressed simply with isinglass plaster. About half past three o'clock, Colonel (then Major) Pendleton, the Assistant Adjutant General, arrived at tbe hospital, and asked to see the General. He stated that General Hill had been woonded, and that tbe troops were in great disorder. General Staart was in oommand, and had sent him to see the General. At first, I declined to permit an interview, but the Colonel urged that the safety of the army and the auooess of the ftfuifle denended udoq his seeiner him. When T r r-~ a he entered the tent, the General said, "Well, Major, I am glad to see you, I thought you were killed." Pendleton briefly explained the condition of affairs, gave Stuart's message, and asked what should be done. General Jackson was at once interested, and asked in his quiok, rapid way several questions. When they were answered, he remained silent for a moment, evidently trying to think; he contracted his brow, set his mouth, and for some moments was obviously endeavoring to concentrate bis thoughts. For a moment it was believed be bad suooeeded, for bis nostril dilated and his eye flashed its old fire, bat it was only for a moment; his face relaxed again, and presently he answered very feebly and sadly, "I don't know?I can't tell; say to General Stuart bd must do what' he thinks best." Soon after this, he slept for severe! hours, and seemed to be doing well! The next morning he was free from pain, and expressed himself sanguine of recovery. He sent his Aid de Camp, Morrison, to inform his wife of his injuries, and to bring her at onoe to see him. The following note, from General Lee, was banded to him that morning by Captain Smith: "I have received yoar note, informing me that jot were wounded. I cannot express my re gret at the occurrence. Could I have di reoted events, I should have ohoeen, fo: the good of tbe.oonntry, to have been disa bled in your -stead. I congratulate jot ppon the vietory which is dne to yoor akil and energy." He replied, "General Lei should give the praise to God." About tei o'clock, his right side began to pain bin so mnch that he asked me to examine, it He said he had injured it in falling front the litter the night before, and believet that he had strnok it against a stone or th< stomp of a sapling. Ho evidence of injur] could be discovered by examination; th< akin was. not broken or bruised, and th< lung performed, as for as I could tell, iti proper fanotions. Some simple appliestiot was recommended, in the belief . that th< pain wonld soon 'disappear. . w At this time the battle was raging fear fully, and the sound of the cannon anc musketry could be distinctly heard at th< hospital. The General's attention Was at traoted to it from the first, and when tb< noise was at its height, and indioated hon fiercely the conflict was being earned on be directed all of his attendants, exoepi Captain Smith to return to the battle field, and attend.Co their different duties. 'By eight o'clock, Sunday night, the pain it his side had disappeared, and in all res peots he seemed to be doing well. He in. quired minutely about the battle, and different troops engaged, and his faoe would light up with enthusiasm and interest, when told how this brigade acted, or thai officer displayed conspicuous conrage, and his head gave the peculiar shake from side to side, and he uttered his usual "good, good," with unwonted energy, when the gallant behavior of the "Stonewall Brigade" was alluded to. He said, "The men of that brigade will be, some day, proud to say to their children' "I was one of the Stonewall Brigade/' He disolaimed any right of his own'to the name Stonewall. "It belongs to the brigade and not me." . This night be slept well, and was free from pain. A message was received from General Lee the next morning direoting me to remove to Guinea's station as soon as his oondition would justify it, as there was some danger of capture by the Federals, who were threatening to oroas at Ely's Ford In the meantime, to protect tbe hospital, some troops were sent to this point. The General objected to being. moved, if, in my opinioD, it would do him any injury. He said he had no objection to staying-in a tent, and would prefer it, if his wife, when tihe came, oould find lodging in a neighboring honse. "And if the enemy does come,"-he added, "I am not afraid ol them; I'have always been kind to their wounded, and I am sure tbey will be kind to me." General Lee sent word again, late that evening, that he must be moved if possible, and preparations were made to leave the next morning. I was direoted tc accompany and remain with him, and my da ties with the corps, as Medioal Direotor were tnrned over to the sargeon next in ' rank. General Jackson had previously de olined to permit me to go with him to Guinea's, because complaints bad been so frequently made, of general officers, when wounded, oarrying off with them the surgeons belonging to their oommands. When informed of this order of the* Commanding General, he said, "Genoral Lee has always been very kind to me, and I thank him." Very early Tuesday morning be was placed in an ambulanoe, and started for Guinea's Station, and about 8 o'clock that eveniog be arrived at the Chandler House where he remained till he died. Captain Hotch kiss, with a party of engineers, was sent in front to clear the road o.f wood, stone, eto., and to order the wagons out of.the track to let the ambulanoe pass. The rough teamsters sometimes refused to remove their loaded wagons out of the way for an ambulance, until told that it oontained Jaok .] .t Jik >11 ?frknTT BUU, UUU LUt'U, WUU UIA ^fUOOXUlD DJ/WUj l/utj gave the way and stood with hats off, and weeping, as he went by. At Spottaylvania Court House, and along the whole route, men and women rushed to the ambulanoe, .bringing all the poor delicacies they bad, and, with tearful eyes, they blessed him, and prayed for his reoovery. He bore the journey well, and was cheerful throughout - the day. He talked freely about the late battle, and, among other things, Said that be had intended to endeavor to out the Federals off from the United States Ford, and, taking a position between them and the river obliging them to attaok him; and he added, with a smile, "My men sometimes fail to drive the enemy from a position; but they always fail to drive us away." He spoke of Rhodes and alluded in high terms to his magnificent behavior on the field Saturday evening. He hoped he would be promoted. He thought promodons for gallantry should be made at once, upon the field and not delayed; made very early, or upon the field, they would be the greatest incentives, to .gallantry, in others. ue epoKe ot vjoiooei w ins,^ who commanded the skirmishers of Rhodes' Division, and praised him very highly, and referred to the death of Parton and Boss well very feelingly.

At his suggestion, I plaoed over his stomach a wet towel and he expressed great relief from it After he arrived at Chandler's house, he eat some bread and tea with evident relish, and slept well throughout the entire'night. Wednesday he was thought to be doing remarkably well. He ate heartily for one in his condition, and was uniformly cheerful I found his wounds to bedoing very well to day.

He expressed great satis- h i faction when told that bis wounds wen g i healing and asked if I ooald tell from their . appearance how long he would probably i be kept from the field. Conversing with I Capt. Smith, n few momentB afterwards, 3 he alluded to his injuries, and said "Many 7J j wonld regard them as a great misfortune; f 3 I regard them as one of the blessings a 3 of my life.0 Captain S. replied, "All i, ) things work together for good to those that t i love Cod." "Tea," he answered, "that's r J li, (OU R II.

The servant ashed permission o t to first oonsult me, bnt the General know- b , ing that I bad slept none for nearly three o ' nights, refused to allow the servant to dia- u i turb me, and demanded the towel. About a . daylight I was aroused, and found him 4 suffering with great pain. An examiqa- a tion disclosed pleuropneumonia of the 1 right side. Gaps were applied and menu- p , ry, with antimony and opium, administer- p : ed.* Towards the evening he became bet- n 1 ter, and hopes were again entertained of w i bis recovery. Mrs. Jaokson arrived to-day, g , and nursed him faithfully to the end. G t She was a devoted wife and earnest Chris- ei tian, and endeared us all to her by her great is tinr?nPHH And Mrt.l?ru>m Thn joy at the presence of his wife and child n was very great, and for him unusually de- p monstratrre. Noticing the sadness of his ai wife, he said to her tenderly, "I know yon c< would gladly give your life for me, but I T am perfectly resigned. Do not be sad H" I hope I may yet recover. Pray for mo, ia but always remember in your prayers to " use tha petition, "Thy will be done" Fri- ti day his wounds were again drese>ed, and although the quantity of the discharge si from' them had diminished) the process of- tl healing was still going on. The paio in s< bis side had disappeared, but he breathed s< with difficulty, and complained of a feeling t( of great exhaustion. When Dr. Breckenridge (who with Dr. Smith bad beec'sent tl for in consultation) said he hoped that a * blister, wbioh bad been applied, would, af- h ford him relief, he expressed bia own oonfi- e: , denoe in it, and -his final recovery. is Dr. Tuoker, from Richmond, arrived on. u Saturday, and all that human skill could gj devise was done, to stay the hand of death. e< He suffered no pain to-day, and.his breath- g! ing was less difficult, but he was evidently 'u ' hourly growing weaker p - When his child was brought to bim, to- ti day, he played with it for some time; fro- te queotly oaressing it, and calling it his "lit- 01 tie comforter." At one time he raised bis o< wounded hand abovS his head, and closing E his eyes, was for some moments silently en- g gaged in prayer. He said to me "I see p from the number of physicians, that you ai think my condition dangerous, but I thank g God, if it is his will I am ready to go."? ii About diylight, on Sunday morning, Mrs oi Jackson informed him that his reoovery was tl very doubtful, and that it was better that he should be prepared for tlfe worst. He was -d silent for a moment, and then said: It will k ho infinito cnun to hn translated to HeaVen." 6J "w ------ o?-. ? - # He advised his wife, in the event of bis is death to return to her father's house, and 01 added, you have a very kind and good fath- is er, but there is no one so kind and good as hi your Heavenly father. He still expressed m a hope of bis recovery, but requested her, 6 if he should die, .to have him buried iu hi Lexington, in the Valley of Virginia. His 01 exhaustion inoreased so rapidly, that at ni eleven o'clock, Mrs. Jaokson knelt by his ei bed and told bitn that before the sun went fo down he would be with his Saviour. He fo replied, "Qh, no 1 you are frightened my V child, death is not so near; I may yet get to well." She fell over upon the bed, weep- tfc ing bitterly, and told him again that the hi physicians said there was no hope. After n< a moment's pause he asked her to call me. "Dootor, Anna informs me that you have ti? told her that I am to die to day; is it so?" jD When he was answered, he turned his eyes pj toward the oeiling, and gased a moment or tb two as if in intense thought, then replied, Wl "Very good, very good, it is all right." He then tried to comfort his almost heartbroken be wife, and told her he had a good deal to say ej to her, bat he was too weak. Col. Pen- til dleton came in about one o'oloek, and he N asked him, "who was preaching at head- at quarters to-day ?" When told that the whole 0r army was praying for him, he replied, hi "Thank God?they are veiy kind." He m said: "It is the Lord's day; my wish is to fulfilled. I have always desired to die on. cq Sunday." . th His mind now began, to fail and wander,, tii and he frequently talked as if in ooiqmand ar upon the field, giving orders in his own wi old way; then the scene shifted and he hi was at the mess-table, in conversation with se members of his staff; now with his wife B and child; now at prayer with his military p* family. Occasional intervals of return of q*i bis mind would appear, and daring one of hi them, 1 offered him same brandy and wa- di ter, bat he declined it, saying, "It will only delay my departure, and do no good; I .want m to preserve my mind, if possible, to the last." so About half-past one he was. told that he to had but two houTi to live, and be answered d< again, feebly but firmly, <<Yery good, it is ? all right" A few moments before ho died, pi he cried out in his dHirium, "Order A.

Presently, a smile of ineffable i weetaesa spread itself over his pale face, t nd he said quietly, and with an ezpresion, as if of relief, "Let as oross over the i iver, and rest under the shade of the trees,'7 nd then without pain, or the least struggle, lis spirit passed from earth to the God who < jate it : V.v:;3. j " ?? r From if eBlcbmond Enquirer. Gen.'Grant and Gen. Lee. The editor of the Lewistown Falls Jour-. 1 a! has written a letter from Washington or his paper; in whioh he pnrporte to state late conversation with Gen. Grant. It i one of the misfortunes of eminent men, hat ?f?nr at a avav wavlaid bv the sensation teople, eager for something to put is print, 'hey are often very grossly, misrepresented a these reports; and snob we hope was ten. Grant'sfate in the letter of the Falls ' 'ournal. ' ' . ' We say we hope the letter is a misreport; J ecaose it contains a statement whieh does 1 great injnstioe, not to say an unkindness, ! ) Gen. Robert E. Lee. Gen. Grant is one 1 f the very fast from whom this would have 1 een expeoted; both because of the gener- 1 sity whioh he has exhibited when It was ' moh more diffionlt than now, and. beoaase 1 oertaia delieacy interferes with hilr criti- J isms upon one who was his own immedfte antagonist tnd rival for military fame. If Gen. Grant, however, is. not misre- .] orted, or if a, mere private expression of a ' assing irritation, nnder some momentary ' listake, has not been imposed upon the ( rorld for his deliberate opinion?then he ia ' ravely misinformed as to the bearing of ' General Lee, and the inflo^noe he has ex- ? rted upon his oonntrymen^ The following ' I *lio UnimiiM imnnfnii tn flon ftrunt ? 1 > VUO MHgUMgW ilM|fUWM ?w Wiv? ?8omeof the rebel generals are behaving ' obly, and doing all they ean to indnoe the j eople to throw aside their old prejudices, 1 ad to oonform their coarse to the changed ( jndition of things. Johnston and Diok J aylor particularly, are exercising a good 1 ifluence; bat Lee is behaving badly. He 1 i conducting himself very differently from * bat I had reason, from what he said at the 1 me of the surrender, to suppose be would! 1 ro man of the South is capable of exerei- J qg a tenth part of the influence for good * lat he is; bat Instead of nsing it he is E Jtting an example' of forced acquiescence, 1 > grudging and pernioious in its effects, as 1 t be hardly realised." The oftener do wo scan the above lines, t it less do they sound'like Gen. Grant. In hat respect Gen. Lee's ^conduct is less 1 ealfog than that of either of the two Gen rain who ate giving particular satisfaction, ' i by no means perceived by the citizens * nmediately concerned. . If Generals John- - ion and Taylor have engaged in the par- e lits of private life, Gen. Lee has donethqj j tme, and in that partiitalar calling which ' nplies the greatest possible remove from- e olitical jealousies and chagrins: His tea- j mony before the Reconstruction Comrnit?e contained nothing donbtfol or ambigu- 1 us?nothing that even an enemy could ' jnrplain of, unless for its eminent propriety. . [is oonnsel as well as his example, has been . iven on all becoming occasions, in favor of j rivate order and indastry, respect for law, . ad careful discharge of erety duty to the g uvernment. His influence has been felt i that direction and to tbat end, and no * ther; and it has been greater in its effect ^ tan that of any other Southern man. ; ^ Gen. Lee is not demonstrative in bis . Isposition?be never was. Who has ever ( newn him to pat his name in the pa pen, g roept when public duty required it 7 He g averse to displaying himself on platforms r conrting observation in any form. This a trait that Gen. Grant onght to know ow to annreoiate. for his own temper is nob the same. Bat when or where has j en. Leo ever failed in any engagement of t is parole, or any duty of hie position ? Na ^ le ought to desire him to eaorifioe hie dig- 2 ty. No one expects him to profess joy or ren satisfaction at the failure of the cause j, r which, under a sense of duty, he spent v or years of toil and exposnre and danger, tl ^ere be to do so?were be to attempt ihut n exercise his influence, it would so offend z ie moral sense of the world, and so dis- {, >nor his own oharacter, that he would hare ) influence to exert. <] In the latter part of the same converse- 0 sn, Gen. Grant is represented as saying x answer to a question, that "be was snr- I ised at the saddenness of the oollapee of si ie rebellion," and that "be had thought it b ould bold out another seasop." It is but f] ating what the writer personally knows to f > the truth of history, to ssy, that this nn- v :peoted saddenness of the cessation of hos- <' lities?unexpected here as well as at the <] orth?was due to Gen. itobert J?, iiee, '1 id to him alone. There was a confidence g i the part of both soldiers and citizens in 8 a jadgment aod purity, to which no other ( an approached. When the disaster over- d ok his army in Appomattox, and signs of n iming surrender became apparent, many tl oosandis of his soldiers broke ranks, or re* b red nnder their commanders, for the sole w id only purpose of continuing the fight il ith undaunted determination". The newB I td spread that General Lee would pat him* a If at their head, and that was enough.? b at when it became known that bt had I< irsonally shared in the surrender, it re* a aired all their affeotion and oonfidenoe in I ,m to restrain the expressions of their deep lc ssatisfaction. Many refused to follow o: fen his great example, for weekir and* tj oaths; but gradually it prevailed, ?hd the q ildiers began to reflect that it was madness I r fight' when Gen. Lee taught them to lay 't awn their arms, and showed them h>W to <j trrender their hopes and oonquer their d ride. There was no other inflaence in A- fi criea, that could thus so suddenly bare ar- ti sted the resistance of the Southern pea- j< e. Even Gen. Lee so shocked'theot.that ft needed all their veneration for him, to o da their reluotant acquiescence; and the ? Radicals bare been diligently laboring ever sinoe to dissatisfy them with having given it. It is these whe are now disturbing our people?it is Gen. Leo's teaching and example that inspire them with patience. That Gen. Lee rendered a eervioe to the whole oonntiy in bringing hostilities to an end as soon as the issue wis apparent, and in not shedding banian blood and blighting the land through the mere rage of defeat, we suppose all humane men will concede. We cannot,-therefore, but thmfrriist Gen. Giant is again misrepresented in the farther report of bis remarks by the Lewistown editor, when he deeoribes him as expressing his regret that the war had not been protracted for the mere opportunity of inflicting farther desolation 1 Heaven knows how faithfully the orders to devastate the tt.ii?. xrz !-f- j i ..j v auev 01 v irgiuia inra uvvu omcuvqu, hum how the whole State had been desolated.? Satan himself ooold not have wished ut farther harm, if anything short of oar ex? termination was thought pf. Gen. Grant is represented as regretting that Texas in partieolar was not also "literally overran sith firs and sword." - When we believe that Gen. G. is fairly represented in these statements, and that he thas barns with unsatisfied hate, we shall not rate him as we now do. We believe he is slandered by his friend?if he be a friend. We will add one farther remark. Gen. AMMMAA A?kikU Ann Av^MAn^infltin MOB WAUIVii MlUVVLfn wmwunwi; ?v Bonstrnotive zeal, without ignominy.
