Stonewall jackson is everywhere de-
scribed as "slow man" intellectually,
even dull. Some say he was tedious
professor, and all agree that he has a
creeping look. And yet, if you ask them
now what they mean by that, they say
they do not know "all they do know is
that he is obstinate as a mule and plucky
as bulldog" which means Just nothing
of man whose prime quality is celebrity,
quick conclusions, and startling execu-
ton; who, as a soldier, is as rapid as he
is wary, Astounding in surprises, brave
almost to rashness, and inventive almost
10 romance.
As for his outer man, he looks at least
seven years older than he is-his height
about five feet ten inches; his figure
thick set square shouldered, and de-
cidedly clumsy; his gait very awkward,
STOPPING, and with long strides. He often
walks with his head on one side, and his
eyes fixed upon the ground, imparting TO
his whole appearance that distracted
quality which young ladies describe as
"absent-minded" A lady who has
known him long and well, has told me
that she never saw him on horseback
without laughing-short stirrups, knees
cramped up, heels stuck out behind, and
chin on his breast-a most unmilitary
phenomenon. In society he is quiet, bu
cheerful; not loquacious, but intelligent
and shrewd; in religion, the bluest kind
of Presby terrain, and extremely strict
in his church observances. In Winches-
ter he took a very active part in revivals,
and habitually led the "Union" prayer
meetings.

Aneeao.e Of eensral nntlsr

We are indebted to the Ohio STATE Jour
nal for the following laughable anecdote
II must be recollected that Gen. Butler
is lawyer Of high rank. He has always
been considered, by witnesses, as a severe
"cross-questioner," perhaps the most so
Of any prominent lawyer in New Eng
land. Some years since, an opposing
party, in Court, introduced as witness
Prof. Horsford, Of Harvard University.
When the witness was turned over 70
Butter, he commenced excoriating him in
his characteristic manner, when the
Judge, who was very sensitive gentle
man, mildly interrupted Mr.. Butler by
saying, "perhaps brother Butler is un-
acquainted with the character of the Wit
ness upon the standi Professor HorsfOrd,
of Harvard University" said the Judge,
bowling 10 Butler, and requesting him to
proceed. "Ahl says Butler, in his most
blandly serio-comic manner, at the same
time rolling his cross eye towards the
Judge, and stroking his chin with one
hand, Professor Horsford, Professor of
Harvard University Let's see, Judge,
zoe hing one Of Hlose Professors the ollie,
day I Jeliecs /! (alluding TO Prof. Webster,
who hadjust been hung for the murder

MCCLELLAN BEFORE RICHMOND. There
has never been more splendid series Of
strategic movements than those effected
before Richmond by Gen. Mcclellan on
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday last. He commenced on Wednes-
day near the Seven Pines, which he call
ed mot battle, merely an affair of
Heintzelman's corpssuppOrted by Reyes
and was following up Of his original
plan for an advance upon the city, secur-
ing aposition much nearer the insurgents
works than had been previously attain
ed, with but one intervening belt of for
est between our forces and the city.
From the time of the attack on Casey's
works in the early part Of June, McClel-
Ian has been arduously employed in
strengthening his lines on a strong base
for future advancing operations. There
was a narrow open space between our
central works on the further side of the
Chickahominy and the rebel fortifica-
tons, the command Of which was con-
stantly disputed, and this led TO frequent
annoying attacks, which will now be
avoided. Then again the base line Of our
army was on the Pamunky and York
rivers, receiving supplies from West
Point, and the commissary depot was at
White House, over twenty miles from its
main centre, line too extended 20 be
safely defended. Here, then, were the
difficulties Of passing the right wing over
the Chickahominy and the immense
transportation Of supplies 10 be overcome
| and avoided This could not be done by
retaining possession Of the ground be-
tween the Chickahominy and Pamunky
rivers, and therefore Mcclellan retired
his whole force in the most perfect order,
admirably supported by artillery, and
did not leave an invalid or ten dollars
worth Of stores at White House. All had
been sent down the York river TO go
around by Fortress Monroe and up the
James river, thus changing his whole
base line of operations, gaining command
Of the high country between the Chicka-
hominy swamps and James river, rem
doring yalueless the works constructed
by the rebels on our old right wing and
centre, concentrating his force into about
one third its former front, avoiding the
necessity Of camping his divisions il
swampy ground, aud posting his lef
wing on James river, where il is impos-
sible 10 have his communication inter
| rupted.

THURSDAY MORNING. july J, 1862.

TnEATRE-Whcn gentleman con-
nected with Theatre has bis name
placed upon the bills as candidate for
a benefit, and that call is responded 10 in
Tremendous Numbers, the natural infe-
renee is, that the aforesaid gentleman Is
rather popular with the public, Judging
by this rule, which we hold to be an in
disputable one, Major SANDS is an inn
mensIy popular man, for the house last
night was filed, aud filed too with in
telligence and beauty. We hope the rail-
road didn't suffer any yesterday for
want Of attaches" but we observed a
large number who had evidently been
"switched off" to do honor TO their old
"confrere." The performances were wor-
thy of the attondance indeed, there
seemed 10 be arivalFy between the audi
ence and the artistes which should do
most honoito the occasion-the audience
by their numbers, and the actors by their
acting. HATTm BERNARD played the
gentle, loving AMELIA, in a style that
would have satisfied the enthusiastic
"ScnuLEu " himself had he witnessed
the performance. CLAUDE HAMILTON was
grand as the noble and spirited "CHAs
DE Moor" his rendering Of the colebra-
ted curse speech was ono of the finest
and most impressive we have ever heard.
WTAyER's Old dc Moor was like every
thing that HARRY does-"not to be beat

A Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Gazette says: Eu
The Hon. David Wilmot, Senator in
Congress, received letter dated Norfolk,
June Goth, an extract from which am
permitted TO make. General Yiele, who
has charge Of the Military Governorship
Of that district, is loyal and energetic
soldier, and / entertain the hope that he
will take cogniEance Of the facts here re-
cited, when they meet his eye. Tho
following 10 the extract;
"DEAR SIR:-Tho Union men Of this
vicinity are becoming much disheartened
by the indulgence shown to the Rebels by
our Military Governor. Parties Of them
procure passes 10 travel TO Baltimore and
Richmond, by giving their parole, (re-
fusing 10 take the OATH which they do
not regard in the least and by 80 doing
a daily communication Is kept up with
the Rebel leaders in Richmond. All the
movements of the Federal army are az
once transmitted to them by these paroled
persons, Why the most tabooed Of the
Secessionists should receive these fayors
astonishes the Union men. In some
cases, persons taken with letters in their
possession, on their way 10 Richmond,
have been released 20 Gen. Yiele. The
Union men do not feel any safer than
before the occupation Of Norfolk by the
Union troops. So much leniency is
shown to the Rebels that they threaten
and speak as boldly as ever There must
be change, or we win be compelled 10
leave this vicinity. The majority Of the
voters Of Portsmouth, and a goodly pOr-
ton OF the people OF Norfolk, are loyal
10 the core, and mostly mechanics and
laboring men. Can this be the reason
why they are so ooldly treated by the
Military Governor
