The former was sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years, (he ought to have been hung,) and the latter for five years.

Banks (search for this): article 2
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 mentionedhe 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. 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.

Shields (search for this): article 2
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. 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.

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 no step backward.
