WASHINGTON, MAY II

ARLINGTON, May II.
On the lltA inst, General Lee issued
general orders announcing the death
OF Stonewall jackson, who expired On the
10th.
Richmond papers received yesterday, by
flag OF truce. nave the particulars of Stone
wall JacksJn's death. His arm was am
putated because Of the wound received.
and secondary hemorrhuge set in, from the
effects Of which he died. There is a great
dependency in Richmond in consequence.
jackson was the ranking officer Of the
rebel army 'n Virginia, next to Lee. lie
was shot very cary on Monday morning
while making reconnaissance over the
lines. Riding along%ith full staff, a
sharp-shooter picked him out and fired
with good success. Maj. Brown had Just
recognized jackson, and was making such
disposition as would have resultei in
his capture, but for the premature firing
OF fatal shot by a skirmisher.
SKETCH OF MS LIFE.
Thomas Jackson was born in Virginia
about the year 1925, and is consequently
about thirty-nine years OF age. He grad
uated at West Point in 1916. and, in the
following year, accompanied Msgruder's
battery to Mexico. At Contreras and
Churubusco he distinguished himself so
highly on the field that he was breyeted
Captain for gallantry. Che pultepec he
again won laurels and was bryveted Major
for gallant and meritOrious conduct. On
his return from Mexico he was. for some
time, IN command at Fort Hamilton but
in 1852 he resigned his rank. At the out.
break OF the rebellion Maj. Jackson was
one OF those Southerners who were greatly
embarrassed to discover the true line of
their duty, lie had married a Northern
wife, was an honorable and conscientious
man, and long hesitated what course to
pursue. 1t is stated that his father-in
law, Northern clergyman, visited him,
and urged him to remain faithful to his
country aud his flag. They spent several
hours in prayer together. and jackson
confessed that the struggle was sore
But finally the pernicious doctrines of
State Rights, which jackson, like SO many
other. gallant Southrons, bad imbIbed
early in life won the day. Il must 90

AS rebel officer he has been enc .getic.
lucky and skillful. He won his cognomen
of 'StUDewalP by promising Beauregard
that his brigade should stand like stone
wall against the enemy. He fought
Shiells near Winchester, IN March, with
rather Indifferent success. But his pur-
suit of Banks down the Shenandoah Val
ley was very successful, and infused some
heart into the rebel cause. Again, in
June, his attack on McCIellan's right
wing at MechanicsYille helped his fame
among his people. At Cedar Mountain
his design showed skill, but the steady
courage of Banks troops foiled his pur-
pose. -.-
When Lee invaded Maryland jackson
commanded a corps under him. and il was
he who forced the little garrison of Har-
per's Ferry to surrender. lie. fought at
Antietam and again at Fredericksburp.
the glory of the latter victory was Of
course appropriated to his superior. Gen.
Lee.

The Express understands that Gen. Nc
Clellan, last week, sent request to the
President that he should either accept his
resignation or place him in active service.
Rumor says that the reply stated he should
be placed in active service, and that he
would be required at an early day.
The Tribune states that General SIgel
has returned to Washington, after ineffe"t-
ual efforts to be assigned to duty, even on
the Commanding Generals staff.
The Herdld'S special states that arrange
ments are making for the immediate re-
lease and exchange Of prisoners captured

The fact that number of officers and
men daily arrive from the Rappahannock,
and get leave Of absence and 20 home. is
regarded as an indication that the army

pectsd. Our Surgeons have been with
them since Hooker crossed the river. The

OF Lea were taken possession of by the
rebels, bot were issued to our Surgeons on
proper acquisitions. The dead Of both

which were written by Rev. John Kidd, Of

months agol just issued from the press by
Mr.. Higgins of Chicago. Music by E.
Grundy. Esq, of this city. The song is
dedicated to the gallant Col. Bartleson,
who displayed such bravery or that saugu,
MARY field, and is one Of the best of the
day. The beautiful words contain the true
spirit Oft patriotism and poetry and are an
honor to the head and heart of the WORTHY
author. While the music is most inspiring
and appropriate, proving that Mr.. Grundy
possesses musical talerts Of no ordinary
character. Those who wish copies of this
patriotic and beautiful musical gem, should
call at Hall & Stearn's, or at Fox's book
store.
