tly have declined it and continued in command of the brave old brigade. Jackson was a descendant of a sterling western Virginia family, which first settled in Hardy county and then moving across the Alleghany ridge made their home in Buckhannon. He was born at Clarksburg, and his mother's grave is in the soil of the new State. The spot where reposes the venerated woman who gave this hero birth is thus described: On the top of a wooded hill near the mining village of Anstead, Fayette county, W. Va., is an old graveyard still used as a burying place by the dwellers in this mountainous region. It is greatly neglected, and many graves are scarcely to be found, though a few are protected by little pens of fence rails The location is so beautiful and the view it commands is so extensive and exquisite that it is worthy of being well cared for. Among those who lie buried here is the mother of that Christian soldier, Thomas Jonathan Jackson. The grave, or spot, for the grave is scarc

Probable fatal Rencontre. --A serious difficulty occurred at the dinner-table on board the steamer St. Johns, yesterday, as she was coming up on he regular trip from Florida.--Among the passengers were Mr. R. Kerr Elliott, of Fayette county, Fla., and a Mr. Staggers, of the same State. Sharp words passed between the parties at various times during the trip, and yesterday, while sitting opposite each other at the dinner-table, the quarrel was resumed by Staggers, with very abusive language. He finally arose, with a case-knife in his hand, leaning over towards Elliott, when the latter deliberately drew a pistol and fired. Staggers fell, the ball having entered his left breast just above the nipple, and passed, it is thought, through the lungs. He bled profusely from the wound, and was well nigh exhausted when the boat reached the city. He was immediately taken to a hotel and every attention given, though we hear the wound is likely to prove fatal.--Savannah Rep., 22d.

threats, condemned and sentenced to be bung on the 24th of June next. As to our military affairs, we are not lagging behind our sister counties. We have already sent two companies of sharp shooters and one full cavalry company, decided by experienced military officers to be the best mounted troop, as a body, that ever trod the soil of America. Before two weeks shall have passed we will have two more rifle companies ready for marching orders. The $10,000 voted by the county for the equipment of troops is not yet exhausted, and when it is, we have plenty more. As to our election news, our county is almost unanimous for secession--1,000 for the Ordinance and 100 against it. Kanawha county has given 700 majority for Lincoln; Braxton, Nicholas, Fayette, Pocahontas, Raleigh and Roane counties are all for secession. So you see, this answer to the abolitionists will rather astonish them. We are all tired of succumbing to Morrill tariffs and Northern exactions. Greenbrier.
