GENERAL JACKSON.
TO the Editors of'Me Richmond Enqu

TO the Editors ofhhe Richmond Enquirer.
SIEs-The violence that has marked the
character and conduct of Gen. jackson
throughout the whole course of his service,
and the acqulcscence Ofthe Executive in all,
and its positive appreciation Of some of the
very worst Of his measures and, more than
all, the understandable apathy of the public at
large, m:regard to the whole subject, have
filled my mind with management, Indignation
and alarm.
Example and precedent are Of mighty and
wonderful influence in the affairs of men. 1t
is true in practice of ours, that whatever has
been once done and allowed, may be lawfully
repeated No services, therefore, however
meritorious, nor station however axalted,
should be exempt from punishment, much
more from inquiry. to those WHO permit an o.
pen violation of the constitution. An impartial
review Of the history Of Gen. Jackson's Off
ciaI life, will exhibit succession of offences
against all the rules of military discipline, a.
gainst the constitutions ofthe United States,
and of such of the states as have been the
scene of his operations, and against the laws
of nature and nations. On his part, sirs, we
shall find nojustifcation, no apology, no con-
triton and On the par. of the Federal Exec
utive, no act nor effort to maintain its own
dignity, to enforce its just authority, or vim
dictate the violated majesty of the laws.
In the very first service in which we saw
this officer employed during the late war, he
set at nought the authority of the war depart
ment and the rules and articles of war. Hav-
ing early tended his services to government
with $500 Tennessee volunteers, he was or
dered TO conduct them to the lower MISSISSIPPI
pi, to assist the regular force there, in repel-
ling descent the enemy upon Louisiana,
then 1--WE never knew why) seriously appre-
hended. He marched with his us,Ia! pronp-
titude and cslerit y,early in Jan. 1915, encamp-
ed at his appointed station in the Mississippi
territory. Here, shortly afterwards, as the
historian ofhis life informs US, the clouds of
"war having blown over in that quarter, he
"receiyed an order from the secretary of
"war, directing him on the receipt thereof,
"to dismiss those under his command from
service, and to take measures for delivering
"every article of public property in his pos
session to Gen. Wilkinson" Without the
least hesitation he disObeyed these orders,
seized upon the public stores, and all the
transportation ON which he could lay his
hands. 10 spite of the quartermaster, and of
Gen. Wilkinson and reconducted his army
in body to Tennessee. Instead of making
a modest representation Of his motives to the
war department, and throwing himself on the
indulgence of government for pardon; he an
no,,nced the determination he had taken to
disregard islsOrders in the haughtlest terms ;
and aggravated The act Of disobedience with

t,,un, but it is generally attributed 10 defect
IN he upper part of the chimney. The Mill,
,s,ueh no, entirely complc'ed, had been in ope-
.,,ion several weeks, and We learn that Mr.
add intended TO effect full insurance as soon

OF our present ministers are blessed 10 the CON-
version Of the youth under their care, then IT
must be that many Of them will turn with
strong desire to the Lord, and pray TO be admit
ted-to the hallowed services of the sanctuary.
And shall we not be ready TO encourage their
desire, and thoroughly TO furnish them Tor the
work by the application Of those means which
have ever been found so effectnal? Let US, then,
rear up this school Of the prophets on sure
foundation, looking forward TO generations yet
unborn, and ages yet 20 come. 1t may be we
are endowing holy institution for our own sons
or sons sons,where they shall be trained up in
all earning, human as well as divine, which
can contribute to make them burning and shin
ing lights 10 the world. Lett be an institution
to which the desola,e places and the bereaved
congregations may look with the sure conf
deIce of certain and suitable supply; where
the characters and qualifications Of young can.
didates may be marked where their real worth
may be known; and from whence they may be
directed 10 situations TO which their talents and
dispositions are adapted.
Relying on The prompt and generous co-ope-
ration Of, Jour friends, we have entered upon the
engagements which have been stated, and now
commend our cause 10 The protection OF Him
10 whose glory we would cohsecrate ourselves,
and all that we have done.
