Lii'E AND STONEWALL JACKSON. An English Soldier'y Estimate of their Soldierly Qtualities. (Lord Wolseley, in the Fortnightly Review.) The Confederate commander-in-chief, Gen. y. E. Johnston, was so badly wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks that he was obliged to resign his command of the Southern armies. Two days after Gen. Robert Lee was appointed to com mand the Army of Northern Virginia, upon whose fighting power the whole Southern Confederacy then depended. Gen. McClellan's army of over nitiety two thousand men was on the Chicka hominy River within a few miles of Richmond, the seat of the Confederate Government. Gen. McDowell's corps of about forty thousand men, retained at Fredericksburg by President Lincoln fortheprotectionof Washington, against all the principles of military science, was at last ordered to join McClellacA' army. To prevent this junction, by again alarming Mr. Lincoln and his civilian military advisers for the safety of the Union Capital, was Lee's first object. This he could only do by the action of the force beyond the Blue Mountains, under the command of that most brilliant of leaders and of tacticians, Gen. Stonewall Jackson. That hard fighting, clear-headed soldier of the Puritan stamp was then in the Shenan doah valley, near the village of Port Republic. Lee's army round Richmond was much inferior in strength to that of the army of the Potomac, directly under McClellan, without counting McDowell's corps as part of it. The Confederate commander had thus the difficult task before him of making Mr. Lincoln be lieve that Stonewall Jackson was about to move on Washington, while at the same time he drew that general with all possible rapidity and secrecy to join him near Richmond. It was designed that while making a flourish of trumpets in the Shenandoah valley, and threatening a move toward Washington, along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, the Confederate army, covered by a screen cavalry on its left lank, should make a most rapid march behind it, and fail upon McClellan's right flank and rear, near Mechanicsville, en the Chicka hominy River. The splended execution of this bold and well-planned movement does un dying credit to Stonewall Jackson. His division was invincible because the leader, while thoroughly understanding the science of his profession, was further endowed with the power of carrying out the most difficult plans, the most far reaching strategical conceptions o: his great commander. Stonewall Jackson's troops were unconquerable because they had unbounded coundence in their God fi -nle who in his turn trusted them most fully, and believed they could aeoomp aytiag. Never was there in any - y, or portion of an army, a more complete union of spirit and of mutual confidence than existed between Stonewall Jackson and all under his command. As Ilooked into his curiously -blue es, and watched the movements of ' frank'and. charming face as the sentences came slowly out of the firmly set and determined mouth, I felt and underatood the. influence he exer cised over his soldiers. I shall not attempt in this short article to desaribehow thisaplendidly conceived project was as spendidly executed. How lclellan's right was rolled up, and how the Southern troops cut his line of communication and supply with the White House onthePamunky River;how thearmy of the~otomac,.drivenfrompo .stontopsidn~ hadtoretreat, and after -pgeat losseshI men, guns, materials of all sort anid, gbove all things, in repu tatjnnAbalito seek refuge at Harrison's LIrd~jgon tlie Lower James River these thing' ~areknown to all men. Biimonde thaConfederate Capital, was saved, and the Northern army, recalled from its vicinity, had soon to fight on Upper Potomac for the safety of Wash stat -i thi year, when he fought in deece of the Southern Capi tal, and threatened and struck at that of the United States, marks him as one of the captains of this or of any '- Noman has ever fought an *uphill and losing game with greater fimness, or ever displayed a higher order of true military genius than he did when in command of the Confeder ate army. Trhe iinowledge of his profession dir played by AGen. McClellan was consider *able, and his strategic conceptions were amirable, but he lacked one attribute of a general, without which no man can ever inaar-he was never able to ^ nwith any acouracy.the num bors opuhm. Lelore he em barked A afra campaign he belived e iat army at Cen treville, (80,000 strong,) which thea threatenea Washington, wasabout equal to his own of 150,000 men, It was the same with him all the way through his military career. He thorouglhly enjoyed, and even in revene never losr, the con fidence of hil esldiers. The civiiian staeisslWashington dismissed him from his command after his disatrous - campaign in the Peninsula,to the results of which their ignorance and folly had largely contributed. But when, some months afterward, everything looked -v~ideed a$. Wao-igwon, and the orternarmies had been driven beck there licker skeiter, it was to him they bad to turn to save them. No other general in the Northern army could, I think, have got it together in the short timehedid to fight at Antietam in Agfcnnot.Washington. That battle aloneliiied t1ie Northern Capital;if lost, Lee could have dated his dispatch from thenne to announce the triumph of the Southern arms. Lee, then, possessed priceless qualities which were lacking to McClellan. It was the presence in him of intuitive genius for war which McClellan lacked which again and again gave him victory, e.ven when he was altogether outmatched in numbers. Jone's Third Trial. EDGEmImL, C. HI. Nov. 19-The jury in tue charge of the case again.st Joney for murder remained in their room eighteen hours endeavoring to agree on a verdiet. Sunday morning at I0 o'clock they report ed to the Court that it was Impossible to reach a verdict, and a mistrial was ordered. The solicitor made an effort to hare the case tried over today, but the witnesses. for the defene had gone to their respective homes, and for that reason another trial could not be obtained. The case therefore went over until the next term of Court. Mrs. Harrison's Little Joke. Thereis a good story of Mrs. Harrison apropos of her fad for painting. IL shows how. she relishes a joke. Dr. Newcomer is a.'well known physician here, and with - theconversatism of a high-class practitioner despises a doctor who advertises. M-s. Harison knew it. One day sitting at her window painting she saw the doctor's big whit, dog trotttog by the house. Hurry ing to the door she called the animal in, .and-'while another lady held the dog's head and fed him meat Mrs. Harrison painted himbonbeth sides with the legend ''Use Newcomer's Pills." Then they turned Iron in Orangeburg. The St. M:tthews correspondent. of the Charleston W orl says: "here has been discovered on the estate of the late Lawretce M.

TORPID LIVER' Is known by these marked peculiarities: 7. A feeing of peariness and pains in the limbs. 2. Bad breath. bad taste in the mouth, and furred tongiue. 3. Constipation, with occasional attacks of diarrhoea. 4. Headache, in the front of the head: nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of skin. 5. Heartburn, loss of appetite. 6. Distention of the stomach and bowels by wind. 7. Deprntsion of spirits, and great roelan choly. with lassitude and a disposition to leave everything for to-morrow. A natural flow of Bile from the Liver Is essential to good health. When this is obstructed it results in BILIOUSNESS, which, if neglected, soon leads to serious diseases. Simmons Liver Regulatorexerts a mostfelicitousinfluer' ce over every kind of biliousness. It restores the Liver to proper working order, regulates the secre tion of bile and puts the digestive organs in such condition that they can do their best work. After taking this medicine no one will say. "I am bilious." "I have been subject to severe spells of Con gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of taking from :5 to 20 grains of calomel which gen. erslly laid me up for three or four days. Lately I have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator. which gave me relief without any interruption to business."-J. Hvoo, Middleport, Ohio. OrLF GErUIrE as our Z stamp in red on front of Wrapper J. H.
