en a very large one if it can stand the loss of 4,000 prisoners, to say nothing of the killed and wounded, which, although not mentioned, must have been considerable since the victorious party lost 100. In all the transactions of this year, Jackson has proved himself to be a man of high military genius. He is very daring, but always upon calculation. The acts of his which appear rashest, are sure to be found the safes that could have been done. When he marched for instance, upon Shieldstance of interior lines. He struck Milroy first--crushed him — and then returned to annihilate Banks. The whole was boldly conceived, and admirably executed. It places his name among those of the first military men of the age. Above all, Jackson has shown what a bold heart and ready wit can do with the most inadequate means. Men will follow such a leader anywhere, and never think of turning their backs on any enterprise he may suggest. He is the man for revolutionary times. He takes

that he was in a difficult position, and the daring was the best way to extricate himself. He calculated justly. The suddenness and severity of the blow paralyzed the assailed party, and he could not follow him effectually, whereas had he evaded him, he would but have encouraged him to follow with increased activity. Besides, this attack, so blamed for rashness at the time, was made, it was said, to prevent Shields from falling on the flank of Johnston in his retreat from Manassas. Jackson's march against Milroy, evading Banks, who was in his front, was a daring enterprise, and a beautiful exhibition of the importance of interior lines. He struck Milroy first--crushed him — and then returned to annihilate Banks. The whole was boldly conceived, and admirably executed.

Jackson's success. The name of "Old Stonewall" seems likely to become as famous as that of "Old Hickory." His last victory appears to have been a crusher. We know not what may have been the site of Banks column; but it must have been a very large one if it can stand the loss of 4,000 prisoners, to say nothing of the killed and wounded, which, although not mentioned, must have been considerable since the victorious party lost 100. In all the transactions of this year, Jackson has proved himself to be a man of high military genius. He is very daring, but always upon calculation. The acts of his which appear rashest, are sure to be found the safes that could have been done. When he marched for instance, upon Shields and attacked unnumbering four or five to his one, he found that he was in a difficult position, and the daring was the best way to extricate himself.

Shot for Interfering with the Provost Marshal's guard. --Richard Barry, a member of Caskie's Rangers, was shot with a musket ball through the fleshy part of his thigh yesterday evening, under the following circumstances.--The Provost's armed guard had arrested a man either for desertion or disorderly conduct, and were in front of Seabrook's Warehouse with him, when Barry rode up on horseback and peremptorily ordered his release, accompanied by threats to shoot the man who had the prisoner in custody. Seeing that the Ranger had cocked his pistol, and was quite likely to execute his threat, the officer in charge of the guard ordered one of them to fire, and the result above alluded to ensued. The wounded man was taken to the Alexander Hospital, on Franklin street. He will recover.

The fate of renegades. --We copy from the Athens (Tenn) Post a paragraph which shows the fate of the poltroons who desert their country in the hour of her need: We have accounts of the deplorable condition of the East Tennessee renegades now in Kentucky. They are not allowed to enter the Federal army unless for three years, and such of them as refuse are not permitted to return, but put to labor on the roads, half fed, under a strict military guard. If we ever wished the poor deludeor deluded and deceived creatures harm, the desire would be fully gratified with the punishment they are now receiving at the hands of their Federal task masters. A man, recently returned from the Kentucky border, whither he had been to reclaim a son, reports many of the renegades as nearly naked; and that they breathe terrible threats of vengeance against the men who deceived and betrayed them into their present miserable condition, should they ever succeed in getting back to East Tennessee.

of our State. Captain George Downs, who has already become noted for his bravery, chivalry, and deeds of noble daring out there, has opened his summer campaign, under the immediate patronage of the State of Virginia, with most flattering prospects ahead of him. I am informed that his present force is little short of 300 brave men, all well mounted, and armed with Enfield rifles. Two thousand independent and free fighters will be sent out there in companies as fast as they can be raised. Peirpoint's bogus Government, which never had the respect and confidence of that people, will vanish like smoke before the gathering tempest; and the ringleaders in the Union party will seek protection in the foreign Government of the United States or dangle in the air at the end of a rope. There are now few, if any, Northern soldiers out there. There is a company of Home Guards at Clarksburg; another at Fairmont; another at Grafton; and, perhaps, a few more at other points. These are all cit

Guerrilla Warfare. --A Northwestern Virginian writes as follows to the Rockingham Register: The system of guerrilla warfare now being inaugurated for Northwestern Virginia, by refugees and others, bids fair to make short work of the war in that section of our State.
