? He.kept open, generally, Iiis line o

?ire ever entered into ins ?:al?;ulation$

-s::?d. choso his ground.both forinfau
try and artillery with thc exactness <
genius; tait if all Iiis arrangement
wore made, and Ins plans require
hatti. -, he would give it on nnygrount
i't- depended most upon his infantn
but loved artillery from his early al
i oeiatioii with that branch of tb
service, never appearing so we
pleased as when directing in perso
the lire of Iris cannon, amid a show?
?if shot and shell. 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. Hi? said that if his cont knew

There were few who failed him a*
s..; .!?. moments. The sight of Jackgoi
upon these occasions soo*?iibd to turi
Mic heads of tho troops. 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?
