Death CT Il. Gen. Thomas J. Jackson

The most melancholy announcement we
have had to make since the commencement
Of this war, devolves upon us this day
ssSeneuaU" Jackson IS dead! {
We stated in our last, that he had been Sc
verely ucu1ded, but hopes were entertained
that he would recover, although ampu5ation
of the left arm had been necessary. But
alas pneumonia supervened, and the CON-
bined effects of his wounds and this fell dis
ease proved too much for even his iron frame,
and he expired on the 10th inst, at fifteen
minutes past 8 o'clock, P. NJ, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Thos. Chandler, near Guinea's
Station
No event Of the war has cast such univer-
sal gloom over the country-no one has fall
en- wSose loss is mourned with such heart
felt sorro and whose place is felt to be so
entirely ~irreparable. The soldiers and his
whole countrymen loved him as they loved
no other. But God knows best. He has taken
the Christian, Hero and Patriot to Himself

of Christ, as well as bis country and now
fiife's ftful fever Ger he sleeps we'll
in Jesus. Would that all our brave fallen
ones could lay down, as we feel sure he has
done, the armor of his country for the livery
Of the kingdom of peace and glory.
The mortal remains of Gen. jackson were
carried to Richmond on Tuesday last, where
they were embalmed, and, after laying in
state at the Capitol that night, were carried
10 Lexington, Va, his place of residence, 70,
interment. A Plaster of Paris model of his
bust was taken, with a view to a marble
statue. Of the great and good man. The ALL
N. G. Carolina Regiment, Col. Singletary
which has signalized itself on many battle
fields, was fifty chosen, says the Richmond
Enquirer, to head the military escort, joined
also by Gen. Pettigrew's brigade.

Important Advertisements.

We would call attention to Gov. Vance's Proclama-
tions in this paper. The first extends the time pro-
hibiting the expectation of certain articles of food
and clothing out of the State, and makes it the duty
of all Magistrates and Militia officers to see that the
Proclamation is faithfully executed. The second is
an urgent appeal to all North Carolina soldiers who
have left their regiments to return without delay, and
also appeals to and warns all persons against harbor-
ing or encouraging them while they persist in staying
away. Read the Governors patriotic appeal, and let
those who continue their wicked course take the con-
sequences, as the Governor is determined to deal
heavily with all such.
1he Adjutant Generals and Quarter-Master RS Notice
to those having wool, offers a fine opportunity to get
cotton yarns at reasonable rates.
And the attention of all persons captured and pa
rolled by the Yankees, is directed to the exchange no
tice, No. 5, published by R Guild, Esq, Agent of Elk
change. All officers and men embraced in that notice
are ordered to join their respective commands with
out delay.

What the Yankee Papers Saw.

The Northern papers and tn cir correspondents strive very
hard to disguise their recent defeat, and By hard lying to
make out a greater number of killed and wounded ou our
side than theirs. But despite these Shameless f~aisehoods,
they represent most dreadful carnage. The New York Fri
bune admits the loss of ten thousand killed and wounded
under Hooker, and six Thousand under Sedswicks army:
and that the dead and wounded of Sundays fight were still
on the battlefield on Wednesday, and that the latter died
IN great numbers for the want OF attention. It also admits
that a portion of the army became panic stricken and fed
in great confusion that Hooker was very much depressed.
and after holding a consultation with his officers, if was
decided to DO unsafe to stay on the south side of the Rap
pahannock.
The army correspondent of the N. Y. Herald. although
disposed to bolster up Hooker, " let's the cat ont of the bag"
in the following paragraph:
"Sunday afternoon and Monday having passed without
a battle, the defensive attitude began to work its effect upon
the morals of the troops, and all thought OF MAKING = n 49,
conveTa alton turned npon the strength of their position ann
the safety # the army. The advantage thus lost was felt
by the commanding General, and this, added to the reyerses
OF Sedgwick. and the advice Of some of his corps .
the campaign GneD."
The same correspondent saws: a
1T Is d little singular that General Sickles and every
division commander in mis- corps should have been struck
by the missiles OF the enemy. A spent piece of she'll struck
Gen. SlcKles square in the breast, but did no more than
forclbly remiud him of his situation. Berry fell dead in
Battle, Whippfe was MORALLY wounded by a sbarshooter.
ana has since died. Birney was also hit by a piece Of
shell, but received no injury"
The sixteen thousand admitted to be killed, added to the
ten thousand taken prisoners, make a total loss Of twenty
i've thousand according to their own showing. As thew
never admit halfway the truth as to their casualties, it NAV
safely be assumed that the Yankee loss in killed, wounded
and taken prisoners, is from forty to fifty thousand.
The n. L World says Hookeris operations from which an
much was expected, have ended in compleie failure. and
terms 1t a defeat-a disaster. 1t admits q loss Of 15. can
and says possibly it is larger. It admits with reluctance
the superiority of the Southern soldiers in the open field.

Further Particulars.

We gather the following additional par
ticulars of the late battles, from the Richmond
Examiner "a =
All rs once again quiet along the lines of
the Rappahannock. Our army has resumed
the position occupied by it previous to the
advance of Hooker, and is enjoying the rest
made so necessary by the terrible labors and
privations Of the past week. The extent of
the suffering of our troops during the three
days battles it is almost impossible to real
ize. From letters written at Charlottesville,
last Monday, we learn that Jackson's COM
mand were sixty hours under arms, without
food and without sleep, and that the first food
