PH1LADELPHIA. May 16.
The Richmond Enquirer, Of May 10, says
that General jackson having gone some dis
lance in front of the line of skirmi sh ers, on
Saturday evening, was returning, about 8
O'Clock, attended by his staff and part of his
couriers. The caYalcade was, In the dark
ness, of the night mistaken fo- a body
of the enemy's cavalry, and fred upon
by regiment of his own corps. He was
struck by three balls, one through the left
arm, two inches below the shoulder-joint,
SCATTERING the bone aud severing the chief
artery Another ball passed through the
same arm, between the elbow and the wrist,
making its exit through the palm of the
hand. A third ball entered the palm of the
right hand, about its middle, passing through,
and broke two bones. He was wounded on
the Plank Road, about fifty yards in adj
vance of the enemy. As he fell from his
horse, he was caught by Captain Wormley,
to whom he remarked: "All my wounds are
by my own men," He had given orders to
fire at anything coming up the road, before
be left the lines. The enemY's skirmishers
appeared ahead of him, and he turned TO
ride back; just then some one cried out:
Cavalry, CHARGE and imm ediately the regi-
ment fred. The whole party broke forward
to ride through our line, to escape the fire.
Captain Boswell was killed, aud carried
through the line by his horse, and fell among
our own men. Colonel Couchfield, Chief Of
Staff was wounded by his side. Two court
ers were killed. Major Pendleton and
Lieutenants Morrison and Smith escaped
uninjured.
General Jackson was Immediately placed
on litter and started for the rear. The
firing attracted the attention of the enemy,
and was resumed by both lines. One litter
bearer was shot down, and the General fell
from the shoulders of the men, receiving a
severe confusion. adding to the injury of the
arm, and injuripg his side severely.
The enemy's fire of artillery on this point
was terrible. General jackson was left for
FIVE minutes, until the FIRE sackened, and
was then placed in an ambulan and car
ried to the field hospital at Wilderness Run.
He lost a large amount of blood, and at
one time told DR.. Mcclure he thought he
was dying, aud would have bled to death,
but a tourniquet was imm ediately applied.
For two hours he was near puiseess from
the shock After reaction, consultation
was held between Drs. Lee, Black, Cole
man, Wallis and Mcclure, and amputation
was decided upon. He was asked, eff we
| find amputation necessary, shall it be done
at once? He replied, Y es-certainly. DR..
Mcclure, do for me whatever you think is
right
The operation was performed while he
was under the influence of chloroform, aud
was borne WE'LL He slept on Sunday morn
ing, and was ch eerful and in every way was

infinitely about her health, spoke cheerfully
of the result, and said: "If had not been
wounded. or had and an hour more of day
| light, 1 would have cut off the enemy from
the road to the United States Ford, and we
would have had them entirely surrounded,
and they would have been obliged to sur
render or cut their way out. They had no
! other alternative. Ny troops may some
times fail in driving the enemy from posi-
lion, but the enemy always fail to drive my
men from position
This was said smiingly. He complained
this day of the fall from the litter, although
no confusion or abrasion apparent, es
the result of fall. He did not complain OF
his wounds and Lever spoke of them unless
asked.
On Sunday evening he slept we'll. On
Monday he was carried to the Chancellor
House, near Gaines Depot. About daylight
the surgeon was awakened by the boy, say
ing the General is in great pain The pain
was in the right side, and due to incipient
pneumonia, and some nervousness, which
which he himself attributed to the fall from
the litter on Thursday.
Mrs. Jackson arrived, greatly to his joy
and satisfaction, and she faithfully nursed
him to the end. By Thursday evening all
pain had ceased. He suffered greatly from
prostration.
On Sunday morning, when it was apparent
that he was rapidly sinking, Mrs. jackson
was informed of his condition. She then
had free and full conversation with him, and
told him he was going to die.
He said Very good. Very good. 1t is
all right He had previously said: i con-
slider these wounds a blessing. They were
given me for some good and wise purpose.
| would not part with them if 1 could"
From every side we hear that the spoils
left by Hooker's army exceed those of any
previous battlefield, not excepting the en-
gagements around Richmond. Not only an
imm ense number of small arms, estimated
at from 1000 to $4,000 but almost an in
finite quantity of overcoats, knapsacks, caps
and blankets.
The following is from Charleston, under
dote of May II:
"The enemy is showing unusual activity.
He has built large and formidable batteries
on Folly Island, bearing upon the southern
extremity of Morris Island. Several Yam
kee regiments are also forming on Seabook
