Recollections of " Stonewall " Jackson,

A correspondent of the New York Times writes :
"While at West Point Jackson was regarded as decidedly
dull and slow ; it took him three timi s as long to learn his
tasks as the average of the boys, but when he had them he
had them well. Illustrative of the difficulty he had in
learning anything, I remember an anecdote of General
Seymour's. Seymour was learning to play on the flute, and
Jackson (they were young lieutenants together) took it into
his head that he also would learn. He went to the work
with his accustomed vigour and perseverance, but he could
not succeed in learning to play even the simplest air. He
blew six months on the first bar of ' Love not,' and then
gave it up in despair The story of his behaviour at Chepul-
tepec I have seen given, but incorrectly. It is thus :
J ackson was a lieutenant in command of Magruder'sbattery.
The 14th regular infantry was ordered to charge up the
road, but the fire was heavy, and the men seemed disin-
clined to advance. Perceiving this, Jackson stepped out on
the road, amid tee shower of missiles, exclaiming, ' You see
my men, there is no danger, follow me l' Whereupon they
immediately rushed forward to the charge. At various
periods of his life he was afflicted with various forms of
hypochondria. One of his manias was to believe that every-
thing he ate went down and lodged in his left leg. A.
another time he would never eat except by the watch, at the
precise moment; and he would take out his watch and lay it
on the table, and eat at that moment. If the meal was be-
hindhand he would not eat at all. Probably camp life cured
him of these eccentricities. Current reports have stated that
Jackson was slovenly and rough in dress ; in action or on
the march not distinguishable from the common soldier.
This, at least lately, since he came into high command,
seems to be incorrect. In the manuscript diary of a rebel
engineer officer, which we found at the Chancellorhouse on
our arrival, I find the following portrait of ' Stonewall'
Jackson March 25—About dinner time Stonewall'
Jackson came over to make a visit to the General. I went
out to ride and met him going away in the road between
headquarters and Mr. Garnett's. He was sweeping along at
an easy gallop on a large handsome bay. Passed so quickly
that I had not time to distinguish his features; nothing in
him to recal the caricatures which popular veneration has
delighted to make of the popular hero; handsomely dressed
in full general's uniform, a jaunty cap, a full black beard,
and a fine horse ; altogether a rather dazzling vision for one
used to our slovenly headquarters.' Jackson's mode of at-
tack was peculiar, even in the tactical formation of his
troops, and it was his own. He always threw his men in in
column of battalions, about a two-company front, without
skirmishers, resting on their colours, and with a yell pecu •
liar to his men. He was a gallant foe, and I have heard
many an officer in the army declare he would like nothing
better, if we only had this affair settled up, than lo follow
' Stonewall' Jackson into fight. His personal loss to the
rebel cause is immense; but he has trained many able divi-
sion commanders such as Early and the two Hills."
