e bid farewell to the gallant brigade which had won for itself and him such undying fame on the plains of Manassas. This brigade consists of the 2d, 4th, 5th, 27th, and 33d Virginia regiments. All of these regiments, except the 5th, were present, that being on picket. The writer of this article never expects to witness a more touching scene. Drawn up in close columns stood the subaltern officers and brave men who had rushed with loud cheers into the very thickest of the bloody twenty-first of July day, and opposed with the combined courage and discipline of veterans the advance of the confident foe — the men who were all Virginia troops, and from that West Augusta to which Washington had looked in olden days as the last refuge of independence. Proudly had they vindicated the historic fame of their section at Manassas, and now they had again formed to say "good, bye" to their loved leader.

ence. Proudly had they vindicated the historic fame of their section at Manassas, and now they had again formed to say "good, bye" to their loved leader. The glow which brightened their faces and lit up their flashing eyes in the fire of battle was gone, and sadness settled upon their sorrowful expression. They looked like children separating from a father, and, striking indeed to those who saw those brave men in the battle, was the contrast in their bearing then and on to-day. On the 21st they had seen their own friends and kindred fall, and sternly fought on without shedding a single tear, or subordinating the duties of patriotism to the impulses of private grief; but now no foe pressed upon them, and that softness which ever accompanies true and tested courage asserted its away. No newspaper correspondents have daily stunned the popular ear with even justice to this glorious brigade, and, with the modesty of real merit they have not chosen to blazen their own deeds. But th

Jackson's brigade — separation between him and them. Centreville, Oct. 4, 1861. Editors of Dispatch: --I have not been in the writing way for some time, but cannot refrain from describing a scene which occurred here to-day. It is known that, since his promotion, General Thomas Jackson has been ordered to the command of the Northwestern division; and, on to-day, he bid farewell to the gallant brigade which had won for itself and him such undying fame on the plains of Manassas. This brigade consists of the 2d, 4th, 5th, 27th, and 33d Virginia regiments. All of these regiments, except the 5th, were present, that being on picket.

The appearance of Gen. Jackson was received with not the slightest applause. The officers and men he commanded knew for what purpose they had been formed, and felt not like cheering. Gen. Jackson briefly and feelingly addressed his assembled comrades as follows: Officers and Soldiers of the 1st Brigade: I am no followed by three and three more. Unable to stand such evidences of affection any longer, General Jackson waved farewell and galloped away. The different regiments returned slowly to their quarternot often witnessed, and which make upon spectators impressions not easily eradicated. General Jackson's headquarters for the present will be at Winchester. His duties will be very onerous, and

Editors of Dispatch: --I have not been in the writing way for some time, but cannot refrain from describing a scene which occurred here to-day. It is known that, since his promotion, General Thomas Jackson has been ordered to the command lar ear with even justice to this glorious brigade, and, with the modesty of real merit they have not chosen to blazen their own deeds. But the real fact is that Jackson's command that day did hardly fighting and suffered more in killed and wounded than any other brigade. The writer of this is not attached to this brigade, but bepportunity was given West Augusta and gallantly did she embrace it, as a bridegroom embraces his bride. Virginia has reason to be proud of all her troops, but to Jackson's brigade she owes her largest debt. The appearance of Gen. Jackson was received with not the slightest applause.

reason to be proud of all her troops, but to Jackson's brigade she owes her largest debt. The appearance of Gen. Jackson was received with not the slightest applause. The officers and men he commanded knew for what purpose they had been formed, and felt not like cheering. Gen. Jackson briefly and feelingly addressed his assembled comrades as follows: Officers and Soldiers of the 1st Brigade: I am not here to make a speech, but simply to say farewell. I first met you at Harper's Ferry, in the commencement of this war, and I cannot take leave of you without giving expression to my admiration for your conduct from that day to this, whether on the march, the bivouac, the tented-field, or on the bloody Plains of Manassas, where you gained the well-deserved reputation of having decided the fate of the battle. Throughout the broad extent of country over which you have marched, by your respects for the rights and property of citizens, you have shown that you were soldiers n

Proudly had they vindicated the historic fame of their section at Manassas, and now they had again formed to say "good, bye" to their loved leader. The glow whi the facts, appeals to the lists of killed and wounded as his witnesses. These brave men can ask no higher testimony, and he desires no surer proof of his veracity. Other regiments would no doubt have done as well. The opportunity was given West Augusta and gallantly did she embrace it, as a bridegroom embraces his bride.
