rginia Military Institute, at Lexington, Va.--now our Stonewall Jackson — was organizing a negro Sunday school in the town of Lexington. At that time such a school was regarded by our laws as an unlawful assembly. On Saturday evening of May 1st, 1858, I left my office, and on my way home met Major Jackson on the pavement in front of the court-house, in company with Colonel S. McD. Reid, the clerk of our courts, and William McLaughlin, Esq., now judge of our circuit court. They were convhat I might return and make my apology. I returned to my office after dusk taking with me a negro boy to bear my apology in writing to Major Jackson.

My spectacles are a part of my face,—few ever see me for a moment without them,—and they greatly modify the appearance of my eyes, and my general expression of countenance.
