Sunday, the loth, dawned It was
sunny Weather, fat^atjd sweet, with all
the liloom of May, the bright trees
waving, the long grass rippling, waters
flowing, the sky azure, bees about the
flowers, the birds singing piercingly
sweet, Mother Earth so beautiful, the
sky down-bending, the light of the sun
so gracious, warm and vital!
A little before noon, kneeling beside
him, his wife told Stonewali Jackson
that he would die. He smiled and laid
his hand upon her bowed head.
“You are frightened, my child. Death
is not sq near. I may yet get well.”
The doctor came to him. “Doctor,
Anna tells me that I am to die to-day.
Is it so?”
“Oh, General, General! It is so.”
Tie laid silent for a moment, then he
said:
“Very good, very good! It^.is all
right.”
Throughout the day his mind was
now clouded, now'clear. The alternate
clear moments and the lapses into stu
por or delirium w ere like the sinking or
rising of a strong swimmer, exhausted
at last, the prey at last of a shoreless
sea. At times he came head and
shoulders out of the sea, opened bis
gra\ blue eyes upon his staff. The sea
drew him under again.

Horse and rider they stood and listened.
Hooker’s reserves were up. About the
Chancellor House, on the Chancellors-
▼ ille Ridge, they were throwing up
intrenchments. They were digging the
earth with bayonets, they were heaping
it up with their hands.
Turning Little Sorrel, he rode back
along the plank road toward his own
lines. The light of the burning brush
Racf sunken, the cannon smoke float
ing in the air, the very thick woods,
made all things obscure.
Stonewall Jackson came toward the
Carolinians. He rode quickly past the
dark shell of a house sunken among
the pines. There were with him seven
or eight persons. The horses’ hoofs
made a trampling on the plank road.
The woods were deep, the obscurity
great. Suddenly out of the bush rang
a shot, an accidentally discharged rifle.
Some gray soldier among Lane’s tense
ly awaiting ranks spoke from the core
of a fearful dream: “Yankee cavalry?”
“Fire!” called an officer of the 18th
North Carolina.
The volley, atriking diagonally across
the road, emptied several saddles.
Stonewall Jackson, the aides and Wil-
bourne wheeled to the left, dug spur
od would have plunged info the road
Uiccr He shook his lu^il I "No one.'" said Hill “must tell the
Don t, m* n We *ant quiet now troops who was wounded " The other
A very few hundred yards from than- opened bis eyes. "Tell them simplv
cellorsville he checked Little Sorrel that you have a wounded officer. Gen
The horse stood, fore feet planted. Hill, you are in command now Press
right on.”
A litter was found and brought and
Stonewall Jackson was laid upon it.
The little procession moved toward
Dowdall’s Tavern. A shot pierced the
arm of one of the bearers, loosening
his hold of the litter. It tilted. The
General fell heavily to the ground, in
juring afresh the wounded limb, strik
ing and bruising the side. They raised
him, pale now and silent, and at last
they struggled through the wood to a
little clearing.
On May 5 Stonewall Jachson was
carefully moved from the Wilderness
to Guiney’s Station. Here was a large
old residence—the Chandler house—
within a sween of of grass and trees:
about it one or two small buildings.
The great house was filled, crowded to
its doors with wounded soldiers, so
they laid Stonewall Jackson in a rude
cabin among the trees. The left arm
had been amputated in the field hospi
tal. He was thought to be doing well.
At daylight on Thursday he had his
physician called. “I am suffering
great pain,” he said. “See what is the
matter with me." And presently, “Is
it pneumonia 7 ”
That afternoon his wife came. He
was aroused to speak to her, greet her
roots of last year's stalks As an exper
iment he decided to cultivate the field
—just to see w hat it would do He now
claims, according to reliable information,
that he has a good “stand,"and, in fact
that this cotton is the best he has on
his place. He expects to pick a bale to
each acre.
Mr. Morris states that he does not
know how many acres Mr. Chapman’s
remarkable field contains, nor has he
seen it himself; but added that he ex
pects, on his next trip down that way,
to view this cotton with his o.vn eyes.
