ession of the most vigorous thoughts connected with military operations, and I am convinced that he then possessed all the high powers of mind which he has lately displayed; that his capacity is no sudden endowment; that the great strategetic problems solved by him have often undergone the severest scrutiny of close investigation. These things are true of all minds which are accounted great on any subject. The vast conceptions of Hannibal, Caesar, Napoleon, Newton, Cicero, Homer, Angelo, Wren, Davy, etc., following the analogies of Nature, were embodiments which were developed by the active and toilsome labors of the mind. Hence the confidence, energy, and readiness, when the emergency arises. They are no sudden inspirations. We tread with rapidity and confidence the path we have often traveled over, all others with tardy doubtfulness. We hear nothing of the progress of the war. There is too much to be done with too little means. An acknowledged principle of war is that, w

ajor part were wet with tears. For the next day, a great civic and military pomp was devised, which was thus described in a cotemporary publication. At the hour appointed, the coffin was borne to the hearse, a signal gun was fired from near the Washington monument, and the procession began to move to the solemn strains of the Dead March in Saul. The hearse was preceded by two regiments of Gen. Pickett's division, with arms reversed, that General and his Staff, the Fayette artillery, and Wren's company of cavalry. Behind came the horse of the dead soldier, caparisoned for battle, and led by a groom; his Staff officers, members of the Stonewall Brigade, invalids and wounded; and then a vast array of officials, headed by the President of the Confederate States, and members of his Cabinet, followed by all the general officers in Richmond; after whom came a mighty throng of civic dignitaries, and citizens. The procession moved through the main streets of the city, and then returned
Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 7. (ed. Frank Moore), Monody on the death of General Stonewall Jackson. (search)
Monody on the death of General Stonewall Jackson. Spoken at the Richmond Varieties by Miss Wren. By the Exile. Ay, toll! toll toll! Toll the funeral bell! And let its mournful echoes roll From sphere to sphere, from pole to pole, O'er the flight of the greatest, kingliest soul That ever in battle fell. Yes, weep! weep! weep! Weep for the hero fled! For death, the greatest of soldiers, at last Has over our leader his black pall cast, And from us his noble form hath passed To the home of the mighty dead. Then toll! and weep I and mourn! Mourn the fall of the brave! For Jackson, whose deeds made the nation proud, At whose very name the enemy cowed, With the “crimson cross” for his martial shroud, Now sleeps his long sleep in the grave. His form has passed away; His voice is silent and still; No more at the head of “the old brigade,” The daring men who were never dismayed, Will he lead them to glory that never can fade; Stonewall of the iron will! He fell as a hero should fa

as soft and refreshing, the river was without a ripple, and nature seemed strangely in contrast with the mission upon which we had set out. Scarcely any of our rivers afford more enchanting scenery or a more delightful sail than the James, and although our errand was not one in search of pleasure, still it was impossible not to enjoy so beautiful a trip. At six o'clock A. M. the Admiral came by the line in his flagship, passed up, and was soon lost in the distance. Soon after we came to the Wren (so-called as a coast-survey signal-station), a fine Virginia residence, situated high up on the green sloping bank of the river. Upon the portico was a group of ladies, who intently viewed us through their glasses, yet made no disloyal demonstration, as Southern ladies sometimes do. At nine o'clock we came to Jamestown Island, upon the lower point of which we saw log cabins partially destroyed, and further along the banks, series of earth-works, quite extensive. The ruins of the old church
