Some wag has been playing off a rich
joke on the publishers of the New

World took the bait and has been
sending these "activc Democrats " all
manner Of electioneering documents
in the interest of Copperheadism. In
their circular, marked private"
they say:
"Our political opponents use the
Federal Post.Officcs to spread docu-
mcnts, circulars and newspapers, and
Federal Postmasters use their influence
to exclude Democratic newspapers
from their subscribers, and to force
upon them administration organs in
their stead The best method to coun-
teract the influence of widely circula-
ted radical organs, like the Tribune
which have done SO much to divide and
ruin the country, is to circulate wide

War With Japan.

1t now appears more than probable
that the United States, as well as all
the Maratimc nations of Europe, will
be forced into war with japan. The
late peremptory order of the japan.
csc Senate to the Spiritual Emperor,
and through him to the Tycoon, or
temporal ruler, to expcl all foreign
GERS from the empire, and to close all
ports to foreign commerce, is SO di-
rectly in violation of the late solemn
treaties that the outrage cannot be
overlooked or submitted to. SO far
as this country is concerned, such a
war, if entirely con fined to the naval
service would not impose very Sc
rious additional burden to our pre-
sent well taxed energies. The late
improvements in naval warfare have
rendered almost worthless many of
our vessels of war which arc unfit to
remodel after the pattern of the times,
and they can do no better service than
to visit the fowcry land where they
might lie at ease and safety, far be-
yond the reach Of japanese artillery,
and quietly batter down and burn
up their towns with shot and shell
from Parrot Guns, until their obsti-
nate, stupid rulers, shall sec and feel
the folly of opposition. This may
not seem very benevolent or Chris
tian dealing, but the great law or
progress is inevitable. 1t will have
free course and be justified" Igno-
rance, wilfulness and barbarism must
give way before the advance of civil-
cation, and the superior force which
grows out Of superior intelligence
will assert and maintain the right.
The fullncss of time has come when
civilization requires untrammeled in.
tercourse with all foreign lands, and
no people can be longer permitted to
shut themselves up, and the rest of
the world ont, from any portion of
Gods heritagc-much less from the
beautiful Islands of Japan. Commerce,
civilization and Christianity require
them, and they must be had, if not by
peaceful treaty, then by the stern ar
bitramcnt Of war. The government
Of Japan is most barbarous and
abominablc tyranny. The temporal
power is completely subservient to
the spiritual, SO that the highest ru-
Ter in temporal affairs can do nothing
without the assent of his hereditary
spiritual supcriors.
The present Tycoon, or highest
temporal ruler, is said to be quite an
enlightened potentate, exceedingly
friendly to Americans, and DESTROYS
to cultivate commercial relation with
them. Such, we are assured, is the
disposition Of larg portion of the
people,-particularly Of the CONNER
cia! classes,--but they are too ig-
norant and supcrstitious to break
loose from their ancient customs, and
they yield to the dictates Of the Mika-
do. OF Spiritual Emperor, chief of the
Daimios or hereditary princes, al
though it subjects them to the hos
tility Of all the world.

From Washington.

A delegation of loyal Missourians
called upon the President, by appoint
ment, OH Wednesday of last week,
and presented, through their chairman,
Mr.. Drake, an address containing al
legged grievances, and asking for
change of military commander in the
Department of the Missouri. The
President received the address and
promised to give it careful considera-
tion, and furnish reply as early as
practicable. A free conversational
discussion took place, continuing for
some hours. The language on both
sides was earnest, though courteous
and friendly. The address was signed
by seventy persons composing the
Committee. who say, they have endeav-
ored carefully to avoid exaggeration
and to speak the simple truth. Among
other things they ask the immediate
restoration of military control of Mis-
souri, to the hands Of the national Off
GERS and troops, and the entire dis
charge Of all the enrolled militia of
the State from any further service at
tho arbitrary will of Gov. Gamble I;
and further that in place of Gen. SEQ
field. Department Commander be as
signed to the Department of Missouri,
whose sympathies will be with Mis-
souri's loyal and suffering people. and
not with Slavery and Pro-Slavery men.
They entreat the President to observe
that in their ill-fated State the conflict
is between loyalty and disloyalty."
1t is impossible that both should rule
there. One or the other must go
down. They say that il the President
refuse their requests, they return to
their homes only to witness, in conse-
quencc of that refusal, more active
and relentless persecution Of Union
men, and to feel that while Maryland
can rejoice in the protection of the
Government Of the Union, Missouri is
still TO be the victim Of a Pro-Slavery
conservatism which blasts wherever
it rcigns.

quarters that our losses in the battles
on the Chickamauga are as follows T:
Killed, l 800; wounded, $500; cap
tured, 2,500---total, $500.
The enemy's loss is believed to be
at least 10000. Our army is in SUI
perb fighting trim, compact in organi-
cation, well supplied with provisions
and ammunition, and full of conf.
dencc.
1t is the opinion that if the right
wing had held its own, the result Of
the battle would have been a decisive
Union victory. The success of Gen.
Thomas OH the left was much greater
than represented in any published ac-
count of the battle. Thomas routed
Longstrect's corps, and was in a con-
dltion to pursue the enemy, but for
Reorganization Of the right wing
which rendered it impracticablc. No
surprise is felt in the army that the
enemy failed to resume the attack
they were too badly whipped for that.
1t is said that Rosocrans now has
under his command the largest army
that ever went into battle on the Wes-
tern continent-an army that nothing
human can resist.

seg~ In the entire Federal army there
is not a force Of more infamous marau.
ders, more disgraeeful thieves and
pickpockets and consequently more
dastardly set of towards at heart, than
the Hoosiers of the West in Rosecrans'
army. Their outrages upon helpless
women and children in Tennessee and
Northern Alabama prove this. And
yet there are some who believe in en-
deavoring to concilitate this class of
cut throa. robbers with sweet words
and fair propositions. We trust we
shall hereafter hear no more OF such
stuff. During this entire Abolition war
the conduct Of the Western troops has
been Of a character that places them
upon level with tho lowest Of barba-
rians, and they ought to be treated as
such. Honeyed speeches never avail
much with savages, it IS only the cold
stool and the leaden bullet that brings
them to their enses.--Augusta Chron.

Thomas J. Jackson.

| Thomas J. Jackson was born on the
2lst day of January, 1924, in CIarkS-
burg, Harrison county, Va. His great
grandfather, John Jackson, and his
great grandmother, were Of English
birth.
They emigrated to this country at
an early day, and settled on the South
branch Of the Potomac. Subsequently
they removed to what is now Lewis
county, in Northwestern Virginia.
Their son, Edward, grandfather OF
Thomas J.,) was surveyor in Harrison
county for many years, and subsequent.
ly represented the County of Lewis in
tho Legislature for several years..
Jonathan Jackson, the father of Gen,
Jackson, studied law under Judge John
G. Jackson, in Clarksburg, and then
commenced his practice, acquiring
some reputation. He became embar.
rassed as security for his friends, and
all his property was swept away be-
foro his death, which took place in 1927.
lie left four children, of whom Thomas,
the youngest, was but three years old
An uncle, then residing in Lewis cOun.
ty, took the little orphan to live with
him. Here Thomas, by going to
school three months in the winter, and
laboring on the farm the residue of the
year as was the custom with the farm
ers' sons in Western Virginia, acquired
the ludiments ofa plain English educa'
ton, About the age Of seventeen he
was appointed to a Cadetship at West
Point, He here graduated with high
distinction.
Gen. Jackson entered the military
service under Gen. Zachary Taylor,
with the rank of Brevet Lieutenant.
When Gen. Scott was ordered to Mexl.
co, Lieut. Jackson joined him AZ Vera
Cruz. In the short but sanguinary and
brilliant campaign that followed, result
ing in the capture of the City Of Mexi.
co, Lieut. Jackson, by successive pro
motions for his gaIantry and merit,
became Brevet Major Perhaps none
who started even with him attained SO
high
After the Mexican war was over,
Major Jackson left the army because
of i'm paired health, and accepted a
ProfesSorship at tho Military Institute,
When the present troubles commen-
ced, he repaired at once to Richmond,
