TIE LATE LANENTED JACKSON.

10 The Editor Of the Why:
Every fact and incident in the clreer Of Virg ina's
great son. the amentcd and heroic Jackson possesses
a peculiar interest at the present moment. Bowed
down in grief and sorrow as our whole country is under
this heavy blow, it is grateful tax to recount and
treasure up every ncideat which illustrates his bright
career.
The newspaper sketches of his early professional life
accurate.
Like most artillery officers In the Mexican War, he
was very DESTROYS to be transferred from the heavy to
the light artillery The latter in keeping with
his brave, heroic, fiery spirit
After the battle Of Cero Gordo his old comrade,
General, then Captain, j. Bsnkhesd Msgrader was
placed in command of battery of six light pieces
Capt Magruder LIST artillery, had led the storming par
ty under Gen. Harvey up the heights of Corro Gordo,
He was the first srtllery officer who entered the enc
mys works sword in hand-had captured the guns and
turned them the retreating foe. Gen. Scott rode
into the works ard, addressing Capt. NJ said; "Csp.
tain you have won these guns; they are yours Jour
ardent wish for light battery can nov be gratifed-
Take these guns aud mount them. They shall hence
forth be NdqTiGes's battery" When the army ad-
vJnced beyond Contreras towards the city OF Mexico
Lieut. Jackson reported to Capt Mugruder for duty in
his battery having obtained at last the desired transfer
to thaght artillery. Msgruier placed aim Immediate
IL in command of section Of the battery, and, con-
sciSus OF his ska and courage, assigned him to seps-
rate position in the assault the city. With charas-
teristo yslor and impetuOsity he boldly assaed the
defences at the San Colme gate of the cy and con-
trbuted powerfully by his skul and well directed fire.
to the subsequent capture OF the Capitol Ills signal
services were duly chronced in the official report Of
CO Magrnder and the formal and full report of Gen.
SCI as the records Of the United States Government
wlhtow.
The motive of his ardent desire to join hagruder's
battery was stated by him to friend at the close Of the
war; end is characteristic. He said 81 'oant'i 10 see
active ssfvce toished to be the enemy and in the
6gkt and oseD heard John Magruder had got has bat
terry bent all my energies 10 be Nth him. for knee
il there was any fighting to be done, 4Ggr'der ~Oala6e
on hand"
It was indeed the noble instinct Of the patriot soldier
aud hero Where duty and danger called, there he
wished to be, and there he fell at last mourned By
nations wall Nay death and glory keep an eternal
Sabbath around his honOrsd grave.

The Tredegar Works.

The destruction Of the Tredegar Iron Works is a
bea loss to the country, but infinitely less at this time
ti2,a it would have been during the first year of the
war. We have an ample supply of artillery, for
which We largely irdebted to these Works. Be-
sides this since the war began similar wO rks, upon
large scale, have been established in va ious other
places. sMe can therefore, afford wait the rebuild
