Notes and Queries. the wounding of Stonewall Jackson. In our Notes on this sad event in our last issue, weims to have been one of the litter bearers who bore Jackson from the field, and who expressed the opinion that Jackson was wounded by the enemy, and not by his own men. We distinctly disavowed that idea, and said that the proofs were abundant that Jackson fell by the fire of his own men; but we ought, perhaps, to have pointed out tn which he gives a letter from Captain Wilbourn, of Jackson's staff, who was with his chief at the time he was ? Stonewall Jackson Frightened for once. Governor Jackson of West Virginia tells this anecdote: I recollntaining a large sum of money had been put in Lieutenant Jackson's charge, and to be perfectly secure of it hed, which lifted up as if a man was secreted there. Jackson said he leaped out of bed and drew his sword, and examined the bed and the room in vain. Jackson then supposed he had been possibly dreaming, and resumed his bed

Jackson was directed to be prepared to move to the sat to Jackson himself, as he does on page 122. Jackson had been constantly instructed to keep such aome down on McClellan's right and rear.

ng to the whole country; they belong to America. And we do not seek to deprive Americans of the glory of such heroes as we have produced. Nor were their services rendered in our war those only which claim grateful remembrance. There was pious Jackson, the man, who, when he was waiting for the troops to move up would, under a storm of bullets, be lost in ejaculatory prayer: the man who, when he bent over a wounded comrade, would feel a woman's weakness creep into his eyes: the man who came lis, who, to his reputation as a gallant soldier, now adds that of the able and pure jurist--ex-Governor F. T. Nicholls, the maimed veteran who serves his country and the cause of truth as faithfully now as when he followed the standard of Lee and Jackson--ex-President Davis, the able statesman, pure patriot and finished orator, who has always given to the Society his warm sympathy and ready help--Rev.

nued in advance. We crossed the Potomac day before yesterday and continued the march until 10 o'clock at night, when we turned in a field for the night. General Jackson sent me an order to have two days provisions cooked immediately. I sent him word we had nothing to cook, and would be glad to know where I could get somethinnd what we have stood. I have been for several days in command of the division. I crossed the Potomac at the head of six brigades, composing about half of General Jackson's corps.

When they appeared I offered one of the glasses to Jackson, but he drew back, saying: No, Colonel, you must excuse me; I never drink intoxicating liquors. I know that, General, said I, but though you habitually abstain, as I do myself, from everything of the sort, there are occasions, and this is one of them, when a stimulant will do us both good; otherwise, I would nei

rom the ford at Front Royal, and though not required in action, was promptly in place. Early's division, much jaded, was fifteen miles off near Winchester, and could not possibly reach me before the afternoon of the next day. I had reason to believe that Meade's whole army was in our front, and having but two divisions to oppose him I decided to send Early up the Valley to Strasburg and New Market, while I marched the other two divisions up the Page valley to Luray, the route pursued by Jackson in 1862 in his campaign against Banks. Johnson's and Rodes's divisions moved back two to four miles and encamped near Front Royal — the rear-guard, under Colonel Bradley T. Johnson, of Johnson's division, leaving Front Royal after 10 o'clock next day — the enemy making only a slight advance, which was driven back by a few rounds of artillery. Rodes's division, the only troops of my corps that I saw during this affair, showed great eagerness and alacrity to meet the enemy, and had he adv

Quad, in some very fair and unusually accurate sketches which he has been writing in the Detroit Free Press, says: In these sketches Stonewall JackStonewall Jackson's battles have been taken in reverse. We found him first on the blood-stained field of Antietam — almost at the close of his career, instead of at the beginning. The world knows how he fought there. We found him at Kernstown fighting one to four--fighting, falling back, grimly giving way to fight again. We saw him strike thomp and glitter of war were not for him. His banners grew old and faded and shot-torn. His legions grew ragged and foot-sore and weary. No matter who hesitated, Jackson advanced. Fierce in the heat of battle, because it was his duty to kill. When the roar of cannon died away the groans of the wounded reached a heart which had a

H. On the 20th Burnside's entire army was concentrated opposite Fredericksburg, and on the samemouth. Before these arrangements were complete, General Lee's attention had been drawn in that direction by the appearance of some gunboats below Port Royal, and Jackson's corps had been brought from Orange Courthouse, and D.

About 10 A. M., A. P. Hill's Division, of Jackson's Corps, relieved Hood's Division which was withdrawn across Deep Run, and relieved Pickett's Division, to be placed in reserve.
