now confirmed beyond hope of mistake
Stonewall Jackson I'VE prefer the familiar
epithet won upon the field of glory)-stone-
wall jackson is more The words are elo-
quent with sorrow. H needs no eulogism-
no labored tribute of sorrow. He reigned in
Southern hearts-the hero of the war. As
has been truly said of another, he stepped
from the 'topmost ladder of fame direct to
heaven. The memory of the warrior and the
christian will live in history, side by side with
that of Washington; bright examples of the
truth that the meekest humility in the pres
enee of our God and Father adds greater lustre
to the loftiest deeds CT human heroism Him
we have lost, but the good that he has lone
lives after him. His example will be the mould
upon which future heroes may form their char
acters. Our cause becomes more sacred by
bis death.

We are also Informed by an officer who
arrived from Jackson yesterday (Satur-

the secret heart of the best of Southern men,
who despair of our power of resistance? The
man who falls from precipice is glad to rest
upon lower ledge to escape entire destruc-
ton.
Let those who have not the courage of hope
take on that of despair. There is but one al
Tentative to our success. 1t is sUBJUGATIoN.
That too in all the full force of its mo st odous
meaning. Know and believe that the enemy
intend for us no life nor existence hereafter
except as refugees and paupers, or (oathsome
'nought) as traitors to our cause, and humble
suppllants for the privilege of working our
own plantations, and hiring our own slaves.
1t this does not arouse the last energy, the
case with that man is hopeless.
The matter needs no proof. 1t is unblush-
lngly proclaimed at last as the settled policy
| OF the Federal Government towards the South.

States must share common fate. Since then
all reserve has been cast aside Even the
sham pretence of emancipation has been
thrown off as worthless mask. The slaves
are to be taken, but taken for slaves by North
ern masters or Southern traitors, to be worked
upon plantations taken from Southern owners .
Banks at Alexandria has announced the war
cry, which is to turn all families throughout
Red River Valley houseless and homeless upon
the world. Rebels hare rights. Think what
all that means. 1t means slavery worse than
the serfdom of Russia. 1t deprives them of
property and closes the doors of justice. 1t

MINUTE MEN -''Fas est, alb hoste doceri, -
as they say in the classics, which being trans
lated for the benefit of the unlearned means
we should let the enemy even, teach US some
sense.
Grierson's raid through Mississippi is very
good tuition, most especially upon two points
We may become satisfied that the enemy have
spies everywhere, giving information of the
condition of the country, and inviting raids
upon unprotected portions. These same spies
act as guides upon the arrival of the enemy's
forces. Hence they are enabled to make raids
with impunity, which have the appearance of
great dash and boldness. Southern men in
stinctively admire such things, and have al
those of Morgan or Stuart. In fact, his raid
was attended with little risk.
Because it was through country where we
had no regular force, and there was no home
organization for defence, and Grierson knew
it, and that is the other point. Home organ
izations would have prevented the attempt at
this raid. Grerson would not have risked it
with the certainty of resistance in every county
by organized bands of minute men. The delay
and gradual loss would have weakened him at
every step, and in the end proven fatal
1t is just as likely that the Red River coun-
try above the raft may become the theater of
such raid, as that Central Mississippi would
be- Our present condition invites such a raid
The enemy are very welcome to this much in
formation, as they no doubt have it from their
own spies about here in full perfection. They
may find it different when they come; but that
depends altogether upon the action of our citi-
Gems at home. If we organize companies of
minute men everywhere possible, under the
law published in our columns to-day, it will
not be attempted. IF we do not. we have no
right to complain of cur own negligence.
Every man has personal interest in this mat
ter, and should not wait for his neighbor to
begin We cannot rely upon our armies to
protect us from raids. They must be concen-
trated and kept together. We must protect
ourselves.
We cannot help fearing after all that Faux
ner's humorous satire upon Arkansians, will
find another illustration in this matter of COM
panies for defence. There is no enemy near
us, and we do not need them. When the raids
come il will Grain so We can't"

Observation-Disclosures DECIsIoN.-Our
readers will remember the case of Herber., de-
cided upon habeas corpus before the Hon. j.
k. Page some time since, and published in the
Telegraph. Herbert claimed exemption from
military service on the ground that he was the
owner OF ten slaves, upon plantation upon
which ne resided and on which there ives no
white male adult not liable to CONSUMPTION
He was discharged from the custody of the
enrolling officer. The case was taken to the
careful opinion, a copy of which has been
kindly forwarded to us by Col. B. F. Danley,
commandant of conscripts for this State.
We will make room in our next issue for the
opinion in full, if possible, or at least for all
the important parts.
At present we announce in short, that the
following points established
lst. The State courts and Judges have con-
current jurisdiction with those of the Confede-
racy, to hear and determine cases of habeas
corpus, where persons are in custody of mill
tary officers under color of authority.
I'd. In determining rights of exemption, our
State law is to be regarded, and a plantation
need not consist of any particular number o.
slaves, provided there be more than one. The
term is to be understood in its common accep-
tation, which does not imply the existence OF
twenty slaves or more.
Sd. Exemptions of persons as agents, over
seers or owners of any plantations, do no
apply to those called into service by the frs
Conscript Act and consequently are not appli-
cable to persons under 50 years of age.
4th. Circuit Courts and Judges at Cham.
bers, have the power by writ of certiorari re-
turnable in court, to review and correct the
decisions of County JUICES in cases of habeas
corpus,

MURDER OF CAPT. FEEgMAN.-A le'-
ter from Shelbyville, which wo find ID
our exchanges. gives tie following ac-
count of the death Of Capt. Freeman,
who was captured by the enemy 1T the
time of the repulse Of Gen. Van Dorm
near Franklin:
yesterday, Gen Polk sent me with
important dispatches to Van Do-n's head
quarters, and there [ learned, from par.
ties who took part in the engagement, All
the particulars Of the fight. It seems
when Captain Freemans battery was cap
tuIed and he and his subordinate officers
sent to the rear, our cavalry made dash
at the Yankees, resolving to recapture our
battery at all hazards. The Yankees, TO
meet this charge, ordered Capt Freeman
to take command NJ his guns and use
than against our cara'ry. To this iuhu-
man demand the brave Freeman fatty Re.
fused obedience, and instantly fell pierced
with more than hundred balls. The
fact of his assassination immediately
reached our men. and they instantly re-
solved, ore and all, that no more prison
ers were to be taken--the black flag, in
all its dreadful purport, was raised, and
the gallant Freeman was avenged"
From TENNESSEE AND GEoRGIA.-At-
laDta, May 6.--Forrest has received relia-
BILE information that 5000 Yankees are
coming through Talladega, Ala, to destroy
the State road. Col. Cruise of Forests

srapLed to Johnston for reinforcements
Gov Brown was on the train, and promis-
ed all available troops possible. The mi
lltla and people are awake and prepared.
Chattanooga, May 6.--Al quiet in the

Fifty Federal prisoners we're captured at

Vicksburg May Git is reported that

We have nothing of importance from

yanced across Big Black at last accounts.
But one boat has been in sight across
the river to-day.
The company Of the 24;h Mississip pi,
captured at Port Gibson. subsequently,
made their escape from the enemy, and
are now with their regiment.
Lieut-Col. Pettus, of the 10Th Alabama,
