After the death of Jackson, Early was undoubtedly one of the strongest and ablest of kin to worship than that with which Early regarded Lee and Jackson, not alone as great soldiers, but as great Christians also our rights in the Territories?

ng intelligence. The Yankees had been eight or ten days fortifying the position in which we attacked them on Saturday, and thefirst intimation I had of their having slept on this side of the Chickahominy, was after I had gone into an encampment from which they had been driven. The ignorance of their works caused much of the loss we suffered. If the Mississippi troops, lying in camp when not retreating under Beauregard, were at home, they would probably keep a section of the river free for our use, and closed against Yankee transports. It is hard to see incompetence losing opportunity and wasting hard-gotten means, but harder still to bear is the knowledge that there is no available remedy. I cultivate hope and patience, and trust to the blunders of our enemy and the gallantry of our troops for ultimate success. Tell Helen that Captain Keary has been in the column most distinguished of late. Jackson is probably now marching toward this side of the Blue Ridge.

Jackson, with Stanard's battery, on the plateau. He was in command of reserves next behind Bee, and had just arrived and taken position on the eastern edge of the table-land. When Bee hurriedly exclaimed, They are beating us back! Jackson calmly replied, Well, Sir, we will give them the bayonet. This firmness encouraged Bee, and he tried to rally his men. Form!
