MATTERS IT Folly IsLAND.-The troops
occupying Folly Island are now very COM
fortably situated, the ingenuity of the soldiers
having supplied from the resorces of the
Island all deficiencies in camp equipage, pal
metto leaves having been proved by experience
an excellent substitute for canvass, in shelter
ing from the sun and protecting from rain
From a point two miles this side the north
westerly end Of the Island the ~steeples of
Charleston and the flags of the forts in its
harbor are plainly visible, and with glasses
persons can be distinguished on Fort Sumter
and the rebel vessels. Our pickets and the en-
emy's on Morris Island converse freely across
the narrow creek which separates them, and
miniature vessels, freighted with tobacco, have
been often sent to our side, with requests for
reciprocal cargoes Of coffee, the total want Of
which, the rebels say is a cause of great dis
comfort to them. The seceshers delighted in
"sarcastically" inquiring when Charleston
was to be again attacked, till their irony clio
tied questions relative to the price of butter,
flour and salt in the Charleston markets, when
the frequency Of those heterogeneous seemed
to induce them to change the conversation.
Say, Yankee" was shouted across, one day,
'hain't you most tired of this war;? "No

Confederates have erected batteries and other
works on the southeasterly end of Morris Is
land, where negroes and others can be seen
shoveling daily.

The Fredericksburg correspondent of the
Tallahassee Horjdi0n tells the following
strange story;
while speaking of peace, there is a legend
connected with a spring near Fredericksburg,
which | will relate for the benefit of the curl
Gus. According to tradition, this spring was
discovered running three months before the
Revolutionary war. Three months before a
treaty of peace it dried up and ceased to run
It commenced running again three months
before the war of 1912, and three months be-
fore it's close, as in the Revolutionary war, it
again dried up and so with the Mexican war.
Three months before the fall of Fort Sumter
it again commenced running, and a short time
since dried up. give as my author for this

near the spring, and who has considerable
property, and offers to bet it all that we will

Naval atcssEas

From the New York Herald, May 18th.
The Naval Department has at last made a
move in the right quarter in reference to build
ing vessels with a proper amount OF propul-
siye power. so that we can have ships OF war
with sufficient speed to chase any vessel that
has been or will be built in Europe. MIR. De-
Iano. the naval constructor at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and hir. Henry Stears, OF Green
point. are each to build a vessel from their
own models. while Mr.. DickersOn will furnish
the drawings of their engines. These vessels
will be about 500 feet long and OF about 5000
TOMS burden. and not unlike the famous Nlaga-
ra in many respects. They will carry eight
heavy guns, and it is believed they will be
the fastest vessels of war ever built. These
two vessels will be Of about the size ofthe de-
tail, except that they must combine strength
with speed 50 as to carry a heavy battery. In
general construction they will not differ from
ordinary vessels of their class; but in that
great desideraturn, speed, they will excel all
others. The Iroquis and Dacotah are the
fastest vessels of their class, and yet they
have not speed enough. In this new move
we may expect to date a great change III the
steam department Of our navy.
The Pembroke Steamboat Company OF Bos-
ton have sold to the Government the screw
steamer Iron Age for a gunboat. She will
carry one one-hundred-pound gun, four thirty
two pound rifle guns, four twenty-four pound
howitzers, on the upper deck, and four thirty
two pound rife guns between decks,

To Test THE QUALITY OF wooL-Take a
lock Of wool from the sleeps back. and place
if mon an inch rule. If you can count from
thirty to thirty-three of the spirals or folds
in the space Of an inch, it equals in quality
the finest ElectosaI or Saxony wool grown
Of course when the number Of spirals to the
inch diminighes, the quality of the wool be-
comes relatively inferior. Many tests have
been tried but this is considered the simplest
and best. Cotswold wool and some other IN
ferior woods do not measure nine spirals to the
inch. With this test, every farmer has IN
his possession a knowledge which will enable
him to form a correct judgement OF the quail
ty of all kinds Of wool. There are some coarse
woods which experienced wool growers 90 not

SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

Thomas jackson was born in Virginia
about the year 1925, and is consequently
about thirty-nine years Of age. lie graduated
at West point in 1916, and in the following
year accompanied Magruder's battery to Mex
leo. At Contreras and ChurubusCo he distin-
guished himself 50 highly on the field that he
was breveted Captain for gallantry. At Cha
p~ultepec he again won ~laurals, and was brc-
vetted Major for gallant and meritorious con
duct. On his return fom Mexico, he was for
some time in command at fort Hamilton; but
in 1912 he resigned his rank. 1At the. outbreak
of the rebellion Major 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 honor
able and conscientious man, and long hest
tated what course to pursue. 1t IS stated that
his father-in-law, a Northern clergyman. Wis
tied him, and urged hiGl to remain faithful to
his country and his flag. They spent sever
al hours in prayer together, and jackson con
fessed that the struggle was sore. But finally
the pernicious doctrine of State Rights, which
jackson, like so many gallant Southrons, had
inbibed carly in life, won the day: Il must
90 with Virginia - he cried, and plunged head
long into the vortex Of treason.
As q rebel officer he has been energetic,
lucky, and skillfuI. lie won his cognoa~" Of
s'Stonewal" by promising Beauregard that
his Brigade should stand like a stone-wall be
fore the enemy. lie fought Shields near Win
chester, in March, with rather indifferent sue
cess. But his pursuit Of Banks down the
Shenandoah Valley was very successful, and
infused some heart into the rebel CAUSE
Again, in June, his attack on McClallan's
right wing, at Mechanicsville helped his fame
among his people. At Cedar Mountain his
design showed skill, but the steady courage
of Banks troops foiled his purpose.
When Lee invaded Maryland, jackson
commanded a corps under him, and it was he
who forced the little garrison Of Harper's Fer
ry to surrender. lie fought at Antietam,an and
again at fredericksburg, but the glory OF the
latter victory was OF course appropriated by
his superior, general Lee.

Richmond papers OF day before Yesterday
received here this evening are full OF eulogies
of Stonewall jackson, and accounts OF his
imposing funeral ceremonies.
The Richmond Wig says, in its editorial
on jackson, that Virginia has suffered nc
such loss since the death OF Washington.
WAsHGNGroE, May 14.-On the 18th inst.
Gen. Lee issued general orders announcing
the death of Stonewall Jackson, who expired
on the 10th,
Richmond papers Of the 10th, received yes
terday by flag Of truce, have the particulars
Of the death of StouewalI jackson. His arm
was amputated because Of the wound recelv-
ed, and secondary hemorrhage set i'll, from
the effects of which he died. There is great
dependency in Richmond in consequence,
jackson was the ranking officer Of the rebel
army in Virginia, next to Lee. He was shot
very early on Monday morning, while making
a reconnaissance over the lines. Riding along
with a full staff, a sharpshooter picked him
out and fired wi tn good sucsess. Maj. Brown
had recognized jackson, and was making
such a disposition as would have resulted II
his capture, but for the premature firing Of q
fatal shot by a skirrnisher.

MISCELLANY.

A NEW STYLE OF SKATEs.-There hasn't
been new pattern, Of skate invented in our
neighborhood for the last three weeks. Be-
lieving il 10 be essential to the happiness of
the skating community that a new patent
should be brought out, have applied for one
for my NE Plus Ultra" the peculiar advan-
tages of which are as follows:
l. II Is different any other skate.
2. 1t is patent skate.
g. 1t Is unlike any other skate ever before
thought OF and challenges competition. 1t
has no straps. II attaches to the foot by at
naospheric pressure, upon the principle Of the
sodA-fountain, BY an ingenious contrivance re-
Gently patented. There Is small furnace and
two registers in each skate, with ventilators
for admitting the cold air for regulating the
temperature of the feet Small coal bunkers
arc placed near the furnaces for Lehigh coal,
which is passed into them by Il .patcnt SELF
FEEDER recently Invented. The smoke passes
out through pipes under the heels. In each
skate Is a small compartment for int, banda
ges, and pain extractor" in case of accident.
The heel-corks are arranged to act as buoys,
10 ease the skater breaks through the ice or
gets into an air-hole. BY keeping the knees
stiff and treading water, the skater may loco
mote to the nearest terra frma, and thus save
coroners fees.
The runners are chilled steel, burglar
proof with double groove running in par
allel lines, one from toe to heel and the other
from heel TO toe. BY means of springs under
the heels, the skaie-irons may be sprung up
into the grooves and set OF hardwood roll
ers thrown into gear for crossing rough places
and for locomotion on land, which becomes
necessary sometimes. The runners are rights
and let's, so made In order that the skater may
cut two circles at once In opposite directions,
one with each foot. For fancy-skating, auxil-
larry runners and knives are brought into re-
QUESTION by means of levers with cords at
tached running up 10 the hands OF the skater,
and these may be worked at pleasure.
The inventor has given the patterns to one
Of ON heaviest foundries. and expects To
have pair on exhibition on the river above
the dam. aud from present appearances the
skates will be ready as soon as the ice Is.
The cost OF the skates will necessarily be high
but Il Is believed that for pattern combining
30 many desirable features, the expense will
not prohibit their general use. particularly as
they are new inyentioff entirely different
from all Others, and more especially as Con-
gress has authorized a further addition to our
circulation OF ntne hundred million. dollars,
and 1t Is becoming q very perplexing thing to
know what TO do with so much money ESQ
called at the present time.
Look out for the Ne Plus Ultra, iron-clad
double-action, acknowledgements and lever
