[Original. Sonnet-Stonewall Jackson. M-SHBS. EDITOIIS: Thc following "frail memorial," or lightly-woven chaplet, is cast npon tho grave of the pious and pa? triot soldier, who rendered more sacred by his death the cause that he had previously made glorious by his deeds: When sets the sun, his banner wide, the Weat, . . With radiant hand, above his golden grave, And goal v eil won, in triumph seems to wave. Thus o'er the patriot soldier's place of rest, A grateful land its standard proud un? rolls. So hangs SecessiaJ* Thine - so daunt its folds O'er thy great Jackson's tomb. Among the blest, Though he may hear the clarion's call no more Though there of peace and endless joy possessed; Not yet made perfect -from that happy shore, An earthward glauco lie casts, ami heaves a sigh, That for that country ho but once could die That faded latest from his lingering view. To which his lifo he gave, aud breathed his last adieu. 8. ?The poem was written on tho reception of the news of the hero's death, (hence the apostrophe to secessia.) but was not published. Some months after the close of the war, it was sent to the editor of thc Charleston Courier, but did not appear. On the writer applying to have the MK. returned, the editor replied that he knew nothing and could hear nothing of it in the office. Closing Seen? of the War-The ?va? cuation of Petersburg. There is not much need to dwell upon thescenes of winch these bright, quiet days are anniversaries. Noone has forgotten yet; still, some notice may be expected. ? At daybreak, on the morning of the 1st of April, 1865, the cannonad? ing, which along the lines on the im? mediate front of the city had been continuous and severe, extended along the whole line with redoubled fierceness, until, by sun-rise, from the Appomattox to Five Forks, there was scarcely fifty yards of ground along the entrenchments but had its black-mouthed pieces belching forth angry smoke, and lending the rever? beration of its fearful thunders to the maddening tumult. Early in the morning, the rattle of musketry began on the right, and soon an unceasing roar told that the battle was in earnest, and that the spring campaign had begun. Gen. Grant's forces-two corps of infantry and the cavalry under Sheridan-ad? vanced in solid lines upon tho en? trenchments held by Pickett and Bushrod Johnson's divisions, under the command of Lieut. Gen. R. H. Anderson, and after several gallant and ineffectual feint attacks, a move? ment in column was made by Sheri? dan to force a passage between the left flank of the Confederate infantry and Fitz Lee's feeble cavalry for con? tinuing that line. By some error, a gap had been left, which Sheridan struck, and his troopers poured through. Pressing back toward the rear of Lee's cavalry, they swung to the left upon tho rear of Pickett's lines, and ere long a wild cheer rung from the troopers in the rear to tho infantry in front, and long lines of empty trenches, roads strewed with aban? doned guns, and fields dotted with hurrying, beaten men, showed that the work was done-that Lee's right had been crushed. But this had not been dono at once. Night followed speedily upon its accomplishment, and the rumors of disaster which reached Petersburg from the battle? field, though gloomy enough, were not explicit of the total overthrow of our forces, and slumber in the city was as assured of safety that night us ever. No one knew what real ruin had come. Night brought with it no quiet, but instead the streaming fuses and bursting shells of a new bombard? ment. Morning came, as bright and smiling as any day of any spring? time. With fight carno sounds of conflict, which grew louder and moro frightful. Did they not draw nearer V It sounded so. And soon strange rumors filled the streets. The church bells rang out their first call to pray? er hut no one heeded the summons. Tl ? clear, sweet tones fell upon tho agony of hearts that listened, a? the bird-notes sounded to those who mourn the dead. Men gathered in groups around tho corners, and look? ed, with straining eyes, toward the clouds of battle-suioke that hung around the town-stood silently, and listening to the dull reports of heavy ordnauce4 and the sharp rattle ol musketry, upon which their fate hung trembling. Men grew white in the agony ol suspense, and women wept. The old town clock struck 8 -th? breakfast hour- but the scanty meali stood on the board untasted. Tin houses were deserted, and eager quos tioners crowded around the men win now came in, with haggard faces am wild eyes.. What is it? And one answered, "They hav< taken the River Salient." And another, "Pickett and John son were overwhelmed yesterday their line broken, and their com mauds broken and crushed- cut ol from the army and forced up th ' country." And another, "Gibbons' corp struck Wilcox's front at day th i morning, piercing his line; the troop to the right were turned, those to th left forced back. The enemy hav reached the ? railroad and the river, and our line is at the stone bridge." And just then a cry of "look was heard, and turning, wo daw from the warehouses, where, by order of tho military authorities, had been stored all the tobacco iu the city, columns of black, thick smoke go up above a mass of lurid flames. " " 'Tis so," was the speech of every white cheek and streaming eye. Few words told how like a whirlwood of wrath came to the thousand hearts thc death of the hopes of yours. Thc groups dis? persed and sought their homes. Ago? nizing suspenso had become certain? ty, and they could weep now. Any attempt to te** of that day, with its hom's of dull, dead hopeless? ness, its moments of wild hope, its feelings of utter wretchedness, is the end of all things to be desired. God spare us such another experi? ence. Now und then would fly from house to house some good report. "We are pressing t hem back-General Lee lia? re-established his lines," and for awhile the feverish wish would bc pa? rent to belief. About ll o'clock the Confederates did recapture the lines at Hives', and ii ruy of real light came in upon the anxious souls. Hut tho real danger was not there. On tho right the work went resist lessly on. Fort Gregg fell, despite tlic most heroic defence of the war. The Union linn advanced from Cog hill's to Trumbull's, from Turubull's to Woodworth'*, and there, in a stone's throw of tho corporation limits, marshaled tjieir enthusiastic masses. At last Longstreet came. A strengthened line was formed, ?nd at 4 o'clock thc despatch from Gene? ral Lee to his commanders across the Appomattox .iud James was. "lean holdout until night, and shall then withdraw." Its terms are noised abroad, und there was no more doubt of hope. Thc time passed in silent prepara? tion. Tho Federal officers seeing the inevitable result of their successes, wisely and humanely forbore further assault, and the comparative stillness was oppressive. Dusk came, and with it began the evacuation. Noiselessly from thc lines they had so gallantly defended the Confederates withdrew, and the long, dark columns passed through the streets unattacked, unpursued. We were spared the horror of a light through the streets, which had been feared. Now began the wild fare? wells and long embraces with which mothers sent forth their sons to un? known fates, and perchance endless partings. We draw thc curtain over them. Thc darkness fell; the silent march continued until thc old bridge at Po? cahontas had rti-echoed to the tread of tho bust Confederate soldier. A signal gun said: '"lt is finished." From right to left of the empty trenches rang deafening explosions, while bursts of angry light shot up? ward to thc bending sky. The army held ou its track of re? treat along the river bank, the citi? zens awoke to their ehauged condi? tion, and the long agony was over. \lieh-rsi,ur<j hide.,-. --<-??-?

NEW YOLK NEWS lian battled J. against despfttism for four yearn ol blood am! ternir, in assertion of tiio sanc? tity of tbr Constitution. A patriotism suf? ficiently broad to embrace both sections has been ?ts only guide, and it refers uow with honest pride to its record to show that it has not turned to the right or the left under ah the violence of arbitrarv power. True to its principles as TH? NEWS has been through the reign of ter? ror, it challenges public conlidence in its honesty and independence for the future. The political transition of the present dav opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, ou the inviolability of the Constitution, according to the interpreta? tion of the strict constructionists, it pre? sents a rallying ground for all, in both sec? tions, who arc friends of a generous con? servatism. As a true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the fitting mediator iu holding up to the party of order in both sections, interests and principles that gave breadth and vitality to their alliance. As an intcrsectional agent, #evoted to free? dom of election, to trial hy jury, to the sanctity of tho habeas aorpits, and opposed now, as for four years of terror it has been, to the centralization that dares to trample on the rights of States, North or South, THE NEWS places itseir as a candidate for support before the great body of thia once free people. The circumstances of the moment make i he dissemination of the principles of TH E NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in ?ts doctrine must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with tho earnestness of a high trust. Justified qav, bound-in his love of liber? ty, to do so, the proprietor places the can? vass he makes here of the public generally in the hands of those men who give hun tho approval ot their consciences as Ids in? dividual agents. Every reader of THE NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty which is herc pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urge* its claims for a wider support upon all of his friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympa? thies to thc cause of "strict construction." intcrsectional conciliation, and all the rights of the citizens under the system, set up liv nur fathers, of liberty regulate by law." The proprietor of THE NEW: calls, therefore', anon good and true cor servatives throughout the country to di chargc to their convictions of politiil right at this great crisis in the countrf'? fortunes, thc duty of giving to the ?niu ence of his paper daily, semi-weeklj or weekly -the wider power for good whim it seeks here through the service of its indi? vidual supporters.
