Letter from the widow of Jackson.
--One of our Tallahassee (Fla) exchanges published the following letter from the widow of Jackson, killed in Alexandria by Elisworth's Zouaves, in acknowledgment of $125, collected in Tallahassee under the superin tendence of the little girl to whom the letter is addressed: Richmond, Jan. 10, 1862.
My dear little Friend:
Your kind letter should have been answered long ago, but when is was received I was at Fairfax Court-House, and the enemy were daily expected.
Your letter with others were mislaid and foud only a short time ago. I assure you I feel very badly about it, for of all the kind letters I received from the South none were more welcome than yours, coming as it did from the feeling beart of an innocent child.
The kind people of our Southern Confederacy have been very attentive to me and also very liberal.
All we had was destroyed in Alexandria; but freely, joyfully would I have given up every thing, even my dear little children, to have saved my dear husband.
I feel that there is nothing in store for me in this world but misery.
I have drained the cup to its dregs.
God grant, my dear child that you may never endure sorrow such as mine.
I try to appear caim before my children, but it is certainly a severe task.
They, too, are very sad, and talk of him constantly.
I have three little girls.--Amelia, my oldest, is twelve, Alice nine, and Carrie six.
In conelustion, little Amanda, let me again thank you for your kindness.
I shall never forget you. Remember me kindly to your parents; and that you may never taste of lite's sorrow, but be the recipient of heaven's choicest blessings, is the wish of your. My dear little Friend:
