Talking of Stouewall Jackson, puts Us in mind of the statements of friend who was under his command. He tells us that the Ge neral prays three times day. He is a Baptist and professionalism. He visits the hospitals and tells the soldiers that they must not die, but if their time has come they will. Our infor- mant was physician in Jackson's army, and tells us he has seen him come in at night and kneel by 9 soldier and pray. We are struck with the parallel between Jackson and Have lock, Both Baptists and both good fghters.- The future historian must picture the resem blance between the Warrior of India and the hard fighter of the Valley of Virginia.

Morgan Again.

We clip the following anecdote from the Mo bile Register. It is 50 much like Morgan, that 1t must be true.
 .'Col Johu H. Morgan returned last evening from his scout up the river, having gone ID pur' suit of some of the enemy's cavalry, who were reported to have gone up in search of our steamer, the Paint Rock About seven miles up the river he broke up some hatboats, and brought others across to this side. Seeing no signs of the enemy, he crossed at a point above the island to make an exploration. Taking d small canoe accom- panied by his cousin, Major Wash. Morgan, (who commands company of Cherokee Indians) and Cpl. Geo. St. Ledger Grenfell, he crossed the river, and after pros ceedng out some. dis:ance heard some voices. Approaching they came man and Q boy. Col Morgan, seeing that the man mistook them for Yankees, asked hin if he knew anything about the Secesh fellows over the river. No said he ''but I've hearn that that rascal Morgan was Q, CT thar yesterday, but the darned fellow flies about 50 thar's no telliu' whar he Is now!'
 The Major and Col. Grenfell could hardly keep straight faces. Morgan, after putting several questions to the man, asked If he was really a good union man. He soemnly de~ olared he was, and would do anything to help the Yankees.
 "Well," said Morgan, 'can't you paddle us over the river-we would like to see if any one Is over there
 q will, said the fellow, z if you will just let me run un to the house minute to change my breechc>."
 - -- Ob, those will Lo now,' said Morgan, < as we are in a hurry" and the man was compelled tp go with taeza to ska z.ser. Aftog the Inau had padded the canoe about halfway across Il being necessary to keep very still in orier te prevent the canoe from upsetting, Col. Morgan changed his position, and the canoe came near going over, when the Major cried out, "Col Morgan, if you don't keep still you will upse 1 us." At this announcements the union man's face presented perfect picture of terror ant he cried out, Are you Col. Morgan, sir? Fo God sake don't hang met'' We'll" said Nor gan, hurry over, and I'll see about it." Sucf tall paddling as the union man then did wa never beaten by the Indian. The poor fellow trembling with fear as he reached the shore was afterwards let go.
