d in the face of a terrible fire proceeded with the greatest coolness to examine his legs, in order to discover where he had been stricken. Colonel Jones was severely wounded in both hips, the two balls taking effect about the same moment. For some time his condition was considered extremely critical, but his friends will be gratified to learn that he is slowly recovering, and will, no doubt, soon be out of danger. Colonel Jones is a fine specimen of the physical man. About six feet, four or five inches in height, broad-shouldered, full-chested, and very erect; he looks in every sense of the word the soldier. Both his manner and the expression of his countenance are somewhat cold and chilling, and serve to repel those who are not well acquainted with him; but his friends all know that underneath this frigid exterior beats a heart than which there are none on earth truer, or more fully alive to all the coolest impulses of humanity Madison. Richmond, Aug. 4, 1861.
