THE CONFEDERATE CROMWELL.

cc stoctewall" Jackson is everywher e described as a " alovi
men,'inY. glectually, even dull. Some say he was a. tediouS
And
f7sor, -ad all agree that he has a creeping look.
;f you k them now what they mean by that, they sap
yethey dc: not know ; all they do know is that he is obstinate
as a mule, rto,
and plucky as a bulldog, which means just
nothing a a mall whose prime qu al ity is celerity, quick
conclusions, and startling execution ; who, as a soldier, is
as rapid as h 0 is wary, abounding in surprises, brave
almost to rashnes,S and inventive alm lost to romance. A 5
for his outer man, he looks at least seven years older than
he is ; his height about If ve feet ten inc hes ; his figure thick
set, square shouldered, ant decidedly, clumsy ; his gnit
very awkward, stooping, and virjth long strides. He offsl
walks with his head somewhat on
one Fide, and his eyes
fixed upon the ground, imparting to his vhole appearance
that abstracted quality which youn, la dies describe as
absent-minded. A lady who has known hit n long and well
has told me that she never saw him on ho re eback without
laughing, short stirrups, knees cramped up, L eels stuck out
behind, and chin on his breast—a most unm, iL itary pheno°
menon. In society he is quiet, but cheerfu loqua-
cious, but intelligent and shrewd; in religit In the bluest
kind of a Presbyterian, and extremely strict ii
this churchobservances. In Winchester he took a very • active Part
in revivals, and habitually led the " Union" p rayer meet-
ings, To illustrate the popularity of the man : —For sot'
°
reason, which has never been made public, the expediena
of removing him from his command was at one time
freely discussed in the Confederate Cabinet, at ad all but
two members favoured the motion, those twi ) of
that a man of such exemplary modesty and yft of such
' intense religious enthusiasm and indomitable :firmness,
must possess those moral elements which, c ombined
with his military education and experie:nee, should
constitute a great general. Their opposition served to post'
pone a decision, and the motion was held under • z,onsidetiv
tion. Meantime the people of the valley got wh ad of the
affair, and with. a great outcry of indignation and threats ea
assailed the Powers at Richmond that the quet dion sgas
dropped "like a hot potato." It was about this t ;hale the
Jackson sent to Richmond his rebel-famous dm )spatel,--
" Send me more men and no orders, or more orde rs and 11,°
men." Such is the Rebel Napoleon, for whom leis peoP,,ti°
venture to claim that in four weeks he has marched 3°'"
miles and won four victories—that he has crippled or dis.:
persed the forces of Milroy and Schenck at M'Do went
Banks at Front Royal and 'Winchester, Fremont at Gross
Keys, and Shields at Fort Republic—that he hold°
M‘Dowell in check to take care of Washington and Ma tr
land, and monopolises for the amusement of the world the
1 attention of six distinguished generais.—Prezu York zri-

Colonel Colt, inventor of the revolver, died
worth about £BOO,OOO. His manufactory at Hartford,
United States, employs 1,100 hands, and the wages Pala
there amount to £lO,OOO per month.

have been enough to condemn the sample. People nov4
however, may be induced to try a Wine, the quality of whicl,
