vision, under Brig.-General Sheridan, and that Col. Carlin, commanding the Second brigade of the First division, would connect his line with my right. This brigade was accordingly formed in two lines, the Thirty-fifth Illinois regiment, Lieut.-Colonel Chandler, on the right; the Twenty-fifth Illinois regiment, Col. T. D. Williams commanding, on the left in the first line of battle; and the Eighty-first Indiana regiment, Lieut.-Col. Timberlake, in the second line in reserve, the extreme left onere under fire, and with but few exceptions, they manfully fronted the storm of battle, and gave earnest proof of what may hereafter be expected of them. I desire to call the attention of the commanding officer to the gallant conduct of Lieut.-Colonel Chandler, commanding the Thirty-fifth Illinois, whose cool, steady courage, admirable deportment, and skilful management evinced the soldier true and tried, and who at all times proved himself worthy of the trust he holds. Major McIlvain of the

ls, not knowing that they meant Pin Indians, drew forth a few genuine pins to accommodate the ladies, which created some merriment amongst those who knew what the ladies meant. In the afternoon of the twenty-ninth orders for a return march were given, and again every mounted man provided himself with a peck of shell-corn, of which article the place was full. At about five o'clock a small party, consisting of Brigadier-Generals Blunt and Herron, and Col. Huston, his Adjutant-General, Lieut. Chandler; Medical Director, Dr. Porter, and Major Bauzof, accompanied by Henry L. Stierlin, First Missouri cavalry, and fourteen of his men armed with axes and a few shooting-irons, all on foot, marched down to the ferry-boat, and made a trip across the Arkansas into the interior of Dixie. The officers, except Captain Stierlin, stopped near the shore while the latter and his men went through the woods to destroy some wagons, said to be left somewhere by the rebels. At this time a deserter came

d that Sabbath a blessed day for our cause, even though a Jackson had fallen among its leaders. As every incident connected with these two great men must interest the reader, I will mention, as quite current, that when General Jackson received the letter which General Lee sent him on Sunday morning, bursting into tears he said: Far better for the Confederacy that ten Jacksons should have fallen than one Lee. General Jackson, after receiving his wound, was conveyed to the house of Mr. Thos. Chandler, in Caroline, where all that skilful attention and attendance could afford to heal his wounds was done, but all in vain; his mission was fulfilled, his work was done; and the hero of the Valley campaign and the Stonewall of the South had passed from earth away. Of Jackson it may be said what can be affirmed of but few men that have lived in this great struggle, that he has fulfilled a great purpose in history, wrought out the mission for which he was ordered of Providence, and that,

When the flag reached its destination, a shout — a wild, deafening shout — rent the air, and was borne off towards Richmond by a gentle breeze that seemed sent for that purpose alone. But before the raising of the flag was begun, Wm. T. Chandler, Esq., a prominent and promising young lawyer, addressed the crowd in a stirring speech of about fifteen minutes length. He was followed by Thos. Chandler and C.Mason, Esqs.,Capt R. O. Peatross, of our popular infantry company, the Greys, and Robert Dejarnette, Esq., brother to our talented representative in Congress. F. W. Scott, Esq., was then vociferously called for, and on coming forward was greeted with thunders of applause. He spoke in an eloquent manner for about forty minutes, and when he had finished, J. A. McLaughlin, Esq., was called for, and, as appropriate to closing the exercises, read "The Palmetto Tree," by Nannie Gre

Death of Gen. Thos J. Jackson. We have this morning to announce the sorrowful tidings of the death of Lieut. General Thos. J. Jackson, which took place at the residence of Mr. Thos. Chandler, near Guinea Station, at fifteen minutes past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. We can partly anticipate the deep gloom which this announcement will cast over the whole country, with whose fortunes he was so closely identified, and by which he was regarded as one of its first and ablest defenders. Gen. Jackson was born in the town of Clarksburg, Harrison county, Va., in the year 1825, and was the youngest of four children. Ere he had passed his third year his parents died. The subject of this sketch was taken by his uncle to Lewis county, where he remained until he arrived at the age of seventeen, when he was appointed a Cadet in the West Point Academy. In 1846 he graduated with high distinction, and was immediately ordered to report for duty to Gen. Taylor, with whom he served until Ge
