Lii'E AND STONEWALL JACKSON.
An English Soldier'y Estimate of their
(Lord Wolseley, in the Fortnightly Review.)
The Confederate commander-in-chief,
Gen. y. E. Johnston, was so badly
wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks that
he was obliged to resign his command
of the Southern armies. Two days after
Gen. Robert Lee was appointed to com
mand the Army of Northern Virginia,
upon whose fighting power the whole
Southern Confederacy then depended.
Gen. McClellan's army of over nitiety
two thousand men was on the Chicka
hominy River within a few miles of
Richmond, the seat of the Confederate
Government. Gen. McDowell's corps
of about forty thousand men, retained
at Fredericksburg by President Lincoln
fortheprotectionof Washington, against
all the principles of military science,
was at last ordered to join McClellacA'
army. To prevent this junction, by
again alarming Mr. Lincoln and his
civilian military advisers for the safety
of the Union Capital, was Lee's first
object. This he could only do by the
action of the force beyond the Blue
Mountains, under the command of that
most brilliant of leaders and of tacticians,
Gen. Stonewall Jackson. That hard
fighting, clear-headed soldier of the
Puritan stamp was then in the Shenan
doah valley, near the village of Port
Republic. Lee's army round Richmond
was much inferior in strength to that of
the army of the Potomac, directly under
McClellan, without counting McDowell's
corps as part of it. The Confederate
commander had thus the difficult task
before him of making Mr. Lincoln be
lieve that Stonewall Jackson was about
to move on Washington, while at the
same time he drew that general with all
possible rapidity and secrecy to join him
near Richmond. It was designed that
while making a flourish of trumpets in
the Shenandoah valley, and threatening
a move toward Washington, along the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad, the
Confederate army, covered by a screen
cavalry on its left lank, should make a
most rapid march behind it, and fail
upon McClellan's right flank and rear,
near Mechanicsville, en the Chicka
The splended execution of this bold
and well-planned movement does un
dying credit to Stonewall Jackson. His
division was invincible because the
leader, while thoroughly understanding
the science of his profession, was further
endowed with the power of carrying out
the most difficult plans, the most far
reaching strategical conceptions o: his
great commander. Stonewall Jackson's
troops were unconquerable because they
had unbounded coundence in their God
fi -nle who in his turn trusted
them most fully, and believed they could
aeoomp aytiag. Never was there
in any - y, or portion of an army, a
more complete union of spirit and of
mutual confidence than existed between
Stonewall Jackson and all under his
command. As Ilooked into his curiously
-blue es, and watched the movements
of ' frank'and. charming face as
the sentences came slowly out of the
firmly set and determined mouth, I felt
and underatood the. influence he exer
cised over his soldiers.
I shall not attempt in this short article
to desaribehow thisaplendidly conceived
project was as spendidly executed. How
lclellan's right was rolled up, and
how the Southern troops cut his line of
communication and supply with the
White House onthePamunky River;how
thearmy of the~otomac,.drivenfrompo
.stontopsidn~ hadtoretreat, and after
-pgeat losseshI men, guns, materials of
all sort anid, gbove all things, in repu
tatjnnAbalito seek refuge at Harrison's
LIrd~jgon tlie Lower James River
these thing' ~areknown to all men.

from its vicinity, had soon to fight on

Trhe iinowledge of his profession dir
played by AGen. McClellan was consider
*able, and his strategic conceptions were
amirable, but he lacked one attribute
of a general, without which no man can
ever inaar-he was never able
to ^ nwith any acouracy.the num
bors opuhm. Lelore he em
barked A afra campaign he
belived e iat army at Cen
treville, (80,000 strong,) which thea
threatenea Washington, wasabout equal
to his own of 150,000 men, It was the
same with him all the way through his
military career. He thorouglhly enjoyed,
and even in revene never losr, the con
fidence of hil esldiers. The civiiian
staeisslWashington dismissed him
from his command after his disatrous
- campaign in the Peninsula,to the results
of which their ignorance and folly had
largely contributed. But when, some
months afterward, everything looked
-v~ideed a$. Wao-igwon, and
the orternarmies had been driven
beck there licker skeiter, it was to him
they bad to turn to save them. No
other general in the Northern army
could, I think, have got it together in
the short timehedid to fight at Antietam
in Agfcnnot.Washington. That battle
aloneliiied t1ie Northern Capital;if lost,
Lee could have dated his dispatch from
thenne to announce the triumph of the
Southern arms. Lee, then, possessed
priceless qualities which were lacking
to McClellan. It was the presence in
him of intuitive genius for war which
McClellan lacked which again and again
gave him victory, e.ven when he was
altogether outmatched in numbers.
Jone's Third Trial.
EDGEmImL, C. HI. Nov. 19-The jury
in tue charge of the case again.st Joney for
murder remained in their room eighteen
hours endeavoring to agree on a verdiet.
Sunday morning at I0 o'clock they report
ed to the Court that it was Impossible to
reach a verdict, and a mistrial was ordered.
The solicitor made an effort to hare the
case tried over today, but the witnesses.
for the defene had gone to their respective
homes, and for that reason another trial
could not be obtained. The case therefore
went over until the next term of Court.
Mrs. Harrison's Little Joke.
Thereis a good story of Mrs. Harrison
apropos of her fad for painting. IL shows
how. she relishes a joke. Dr. Newcomer
is a.'well known physician here, and with
- theconversatism of a high-class practitioner
despises a doctor who advertises. M-s.
Harison knew it. One day sitting at her
window painting she saw the doctor's big
whit, dog trotttog by the house. Hurry
ing to the door she called the animal in,
.and-'while another lady held the dog's head
and fed him meat Mrs. Harrison painted
himbonbeth sides with the legend ''Use
Newcomer's Pills." Then they turned
Iron in Orangeburg.
