Burial Place of General Jackson
1t is to be regretted that the remains of Gen.
Jackson could not be inferred near those Of
Monroe, in Hollywood, that beautiful spot, so
near the theatre Of his glory, where every
breeze waits his renown. and the murmurng
waters, as they roll solemnly by, seem to at
tune themselves to sweet yet mournfu melo-
dies Of the grave. But, in accordance with
desire said to have been expressed in his will
the body of the fallen hero will be removed to
Lexington. This was his place of residence be-
fore the war; and there, for years subordinate
professor in the Military Insitute,h he lived and
labored, unknown to the world, and perhaps
even to himself till called forth by Providence
to play part in the affairs Of mankind which
has borne his name to the remotest corners Of
the earth, and to achieve fame that will he
grand and enduring as the eternal mountains
at whose feet he was cradled, whose long shad-
ows, like those of some majestic cathedral, will
consecrate his grave, and whose oftiest pima
clcs will derive new sublimity from their asso-
citation with the name of Jackson.
VALLANDIeHAM,-Ita appears that the offence
charged against this gentlemen is resistance to
the bloody and despotic order of Burnside de-
caring death against all person, WHO should
denouncc or oppose the war policy of the All
clifton Government at Washinton, an act that
has no parallel in audacity among the tlcspo-
tisms of modern times.
The arrest and trial of Vallandigham brings
up the issue squarely between the Aboitionist
and Democrats at the North. If the latter
have any pluck, any spirit cf resistance to
tyranny and usurpation, they will now show
it. They can dodge the question of resistance
| no longer without disgrace and dishonor. We
predict they will cave in and cowardly Weld
their nccks to the opprcssor.
lHE WOUNDED IN THE LATE BATrLys.-We
have been enabled to ascertain, saws the Rich
mond Sram'aer OF 14th inst. the exact num-
Der OF our men who were wounded in the Lat
battles about Fredericksburg. They amount
to SIX thousand one hundred and thirty eight.
SIX thousand one hundred have been brought
by railroad to this city, The balance remain
IN hospital near the battle field. Of those who
have been brought hither, the wounds Of two
thousand are very slight-only sufficient in the
majority of cases to enable the sufferers TO oh.
tam turloughs
Why should our noble hearted women who
are doing so much for the soldiers and the
country, suffer for the want of such implements
as Cotton and Wool Cards, or pay SPECTATORS
a thousand per cent, for them? Cannot Cards
be made here? If not, cannot Co.ton-apd
perhaps Wool-be spun without Cards? Where
are our inventive and ingenious citizens and
PATRIOTS! Was there not a simple machine
called the Columbia Spinster, invented during
the last war with England, and in operation IN
this State, taking the Cott on from the field and
converting it to Yarn?
