Richmond papers of the 10th, have h,
particulars Of the death Of SroNKwALl
jackson, from q wound received in one o
the late battles. His arm was am putatsc
because of the wound received. and secon,
Diary hemorrage act in, from the effects O
which he died. There is great despsn-
dsucy in Richmond in consequence. JACK
son was the ranking officer OF the rebe
army in Virginia, next to LEE. He was
shot very early on monday Morning, while
making reconnaissance over the lines
Riding along with full staff sharp
shooter picked him out and fred with
success. Maj. Brown had just recogniz
ed JACKSON, aud was making such dis
position as would have resumed in his
capture, but for the premature firing of a
fatal sho. by skirmisber.
Thomas J. Jackson was born in Virginia
abons the year 1925, and i, consequently
about thirty nine years of age. He grad
uated at West Point in 1876, and in the
following year accompanied Magruder's
battery to Mexico. At Contreras and
Cherubusco he distinguished himself so
| highly on the field that he was breveted
Captain for gsllantry. At Chapultepec
| he again won laureIs, and was breve.ed
Major for gallant and merltorious conduct
On bis return from Mexico he was fer
some time in command at Fort Hamilton :;
but in 1s42 he resigned his rank At the
outbreak of the rebellion Major Jackson
was Que Of those sonthreneIs who were
greatly embarrassed to discover the true
line Of their duty. He had married
northern wife, was an honorable and con.
scentious man, and long hesitated villa,
course to pursue. 1t is stated that his
father-in-law, northern clergyman, visit
ed him, and urged him to remain faithful
to his country and his flag. They spent
several hours in prayer together, and Jack
son confessed that the struggle was sore
But finally the pernicious doot.:: Of State
flights, which Jackson, like so many oh.
-r gallant southrons, had imbibed early
in life, won tbs day: must 60 with
Virginia.' he cried, and plunged head
long into the vortex oftreason.
As rebel officer he has been energetic
lucky, and skillfuI. lie won his cogno-
men Of" Stonewall " by promising Beaure
gard that his brigade should stand like
stone wall before the enemy. He fought
Shields near Winchester, in March, with
rather Indifferent success. But his pur-
suit of Banks down the Shenandoah Val
ley was very successful, and infused some
hearl INTO the rebel cause. Again, in
June his attack on McCleilan's right wing
at MechanicsviIle helped his fame among
his people. Al Cedar Mountain his de-
sign showed skill, but the steady courage
of Banks troops foiled his purpose.
When Lee invaded Maryland Jackson
commanded a corps under him, and it
was he who forced the little garrison of
Harper's Ferry to surrender. He fought
at Antictam, and again at Fredericksburg
but the glory of the latter victory was Of
course appropriated by his superior, Gen>
eral Lee.
