Our Southern exchanges contain some
items Of interest. The death OF Gen. Me-
Cook. Of which the Northern papers have
made q " horrible MURDER is thus described
by a Partisan Ranger, who was engaged IN
the fight which terminated McCook's life;
McCook and his guard were some distance

moving from Huntsville ria New Market,
Ala, and Salem, Tennessee, 10 Winchester,

centre Of the column Of his guard, and they
fled IN both directions. A running hight
took place as the partisans pursued, in which
our informant thinks about forty OF the enc

Two partisans pursued McCook, who was
riding IN carriage stolen from some citizen
OF Huntsville, and not an ambulance, and
was separated from his command. 0Eertak-
ing him, they twice ordered halt, and not
being Needed, tnsy fired on and MORALLY
wounded him. They recognized the uni

name until il was disclosed by the Northern
papers. McCook's Aid. Capt. Brooks. and

pafoled Brooks, and told him u he did not

STONEwALL JACKSON.

War reveals men. Nothing is more sure
mo fact more striking. Napoleon selected
his MarshaIs and Generals from the ranks !.
choosing not e men of influence, their sons.
relatives or friends, but those in whom his
penetrating eye had discerned the Unborn
faculty of leadership, the power Of planning
and executing great and successful military
movements. Cromwell was the son of a
brewer. and but for theerigencies Of the PEE
riod in which he lived would have remained
an obscare and quiet citizen of Huntindon.
And the 81 foremost man of all the world"
our own Washington, had, probably. but for
similar exigencies, vegetated in the county
of Fairfax, dying, as he had lived, q plain
and unknown planter. Hes ei.3 - g..
There Is another view of the subject. War
not only reveals genius--it also falsi6es the
estimates placed upon the talents OF men,
tried by other standards--by the quiet rou-
tine of peace. There are officers in the
Confederate army to-day. who, in past times,
before the dogs Of war were loosened, and
the hour that tries the soul and brain had
come, were rated as g first class men,
They have been tried and been found want
ing. The West Point requirements which
gave them reputation. position aud eciaf,
have been.of no avail in the actual shock Of
arms; the scientific familiarity with the ter
miHology Of arms, as science, has proved
utterly useless when the moment came 10
handle forces in the field. TO post artillery,
TO fight and win the day against the ut
most exertions of wary and dangerous foes.
In like manner there are officers 10 our arr
my at present upon whom the country leans
with confidence and serene trust--upon whose
abilities men rely with unshrinking calm
ness--who. in the old service, were estima-
ted as only second or third rale--and who
have only displayed " what was in them"
when the strain which tries great faculties
was applied.
A year ago. Col. Thomas J. Jackson was
only known as a brave young officer who had
served his country faithfully in Mexico.
He was braye-but many persons are brave.
He did his duty courageously but so many
officers do as much that the journals scarce
~ took the trouble to speak Of him. But
times have changed--anL the obscure OH
Ger has become one Of those great names
which constitute the pride, the hope, and the
defence Of a great people. Gen. Stonewail
Jackson has earned for himself, upon many
bloody battle. fields. fame which will last
as long as the sun shines or the water runs.
Perhaps no more striking proof Of the truth
Of what We have said IN the commencement
OF the article exists. than the career Of this
eminent soldier. The simple professor at the
Military Institute, has become the leader Of
world-side renown. overcoming the enemies
Of the South whenever he has encountered
them. and maintaining, in the midst Of peril
and disaster, that serene. immosable soul
which rises in triumph above the darkest
clouds.

Exasperated and justly yindictiye. this fair
one announced publicly that whoever should
either kill or capture the miscreant who had
thus shsmefully insulted her, should receive
her hand and fortune. Not many days after
this ayowal, Frank Armstrong; company
defeated the Yankees at CORTLAND, captur-
ing the place, together with many prisoners,
among whom was Captain Robinson, the,
dastardly villain whose little soul had per-
|mitted him TO be insolent to refined lady,
and who had forgotten that He'll hath no
fury like woman scorned" or insulted.
The wretch, Robinson, showed his cow
ardice early in the action, and surrendered
his sword to Capt. Champion, OF Missouri,
whose dauntless bravery in this. as on many
former occasions, has made his name familiar
to the army. Capt. Champion was ignorant,
until when about leaving CORTLAND, Of the
romance connected with his captive. The
lady. sent him present of a spledid pair of
holsters, accompanied BY an earnest request
TO visit her. But, alas for romance, war
is memorable, aud without being granted
time to visit the fair charmer whom he had
avenged. Captain Champion was obliged to
leave the scene of his conquest. Since his
return. the Captain has ayowed his intention
OF returning to see his aflianced. and we pre-
diet that his handsome figure will not prove
uncomely TO the lady's eyes. Robinson is
