willing to credit the tidings of his death
without full assurance of the correctness of
the unwelcome news. A'{
The city papers yesterday morning con
tanned the esadnnnouucement, and all doubts
being thus removedi gloom and sorrow
peryaded the community.

the invaluable services rendered the Con-
federacy by the departed hero, and the
duty of the council in view ofthe sad exent
which caused his death, to pass suitable
resolutions of respect TO bis memory.
General Randolph said it was usual on
similar occasions to appoint committee
to draft suitable resolutions, aud he would
move that one be appointed to consist of
three or five members, as might seem best.
The President adopting the suggestion
for the larger number, appointed as said
committee, Messrs. Randolph, Hill, Scott,
Haskins and Glazerbook, The committee,
after brief retirement, returned, and,
through their chairman, offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:

Richmond, That, profoundly impressed
with the great calamity sustained by the
country in the death of Lieut. Gen. Thomas
J. Jackson, and desirous of expressing their
sense of his virtues and his services IN tie
most emphatic manner, they think that
justice to his memory requires them to re-
frain from an attempt at enlogy, which no
language can adequately express. They
leave, therefore, TO others further removed
from the times in which he lived, and when.
his public career shall have borne its full
fruits, to portray character and conduct
rarely equnlled in the worlds history. it
ResoEped, That they tender to his afflicted
widow their most heartfelt condolences, and
beg leave, as citizens of the Republic, to
share in her griet for loss alike irreparat
Bile to her and to the country. gt
