Stonewall Jackson's most dreaded foe. [from the Christian Observer Louisville, Ky., November 20, 1895.] Worse than Pope's army. A story never before published, as related by an ex-confederate officer, who is now a resident of Norfolk, Va. About daylight of the day before the second battle of Manassas, I was ordered to report to General T. J. Jackson, with a detail of one hundred men for special duty.

l Jackson in person, and exempted from liability of arrest. He gave his staff an order to dismount and enter the warehouse, and I gave my men the order to level their guns, and make ready. This made the thirsty General halt, and hold a consultation with his officers, who concluded to try persuasion. But they soon found that no liquor could be had. They then asked my name, and to what command I belonged, and threatened to report me for disobedience of orders to a superior officer. Just then General A. P. Hill came galloping up with his staff. I explained the position to him, and soon saw that he took in the sitution, as he ordered the thirsty squad off. Then he said: Have you orders to burn this building? On my replying that I had not, he went off. Within an hour General Jackson sent me an order to burn the building, and after it was well destroyed, to report to him. This I did. No man got a drink that day. And the foe that Stonewall Jackson most dreaded was powerless for evil.
