ed untrue: In conversation with the

expressed himself much grievcd at the
death of Stonewall Jackson, and said
Of him
No n can help admiring q mar
like Jackson. He was sincere, and
true, and valiant. Yet no one has dis.
appointed me more than he has. lack.

he has proved himself. He was always
very slow, and acquired a lesson only
after great labor. And yet his deter.
mlnation was so great that he never
gave anything up until he succeeded.
Ills character seems to have changed
since, for he has exhibited a great celer.
ity in all his movements, while in COM
mand of rebel forces. Lee is, perhaps,
the most able commander the rebels
have, ard Jackson was their best exc
