SToNEWALL JACKSON.

The telegraph brings the intelligence that
this great rebel chieftain has fallen. Rich
mond papers say he received his wounds
from his own men, by mistake. This is
not very probable story, however. Jack
son was never party to such mistake as
that Our cause has certainly gained by
his death, as he was the worst enemy the
Government had. No man, South, has
done as much real fighting as Jackson. No
rebel general or civilian has been more ac-
tive, energetic or influential in raising. or
ganizing and leading to the field the rebel
troops, than he. While we are willing to
acknowledge that he was, perhaps, the
greatest hero that has been developed in the
present great struggle. we cannot help but
rejoice that Providence has singled him out
as one of the leading enemies to the best
Government ever established, and has re-
moved him.
This is the most consoling intelligence we
CLEAN from the accounts of the late Freder-
icksburg fight. -
Jackson was a;native of Virginia, and
graduated at West Point, and previous to
the breaking out of the war, was chiefly re-
markabie as devout Presbyterian. being a
deacon in the church. The greatest man
of the rebellion has fallen.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF NEWS.

Under this head we have very little to
report this week. The army of the Potomac
seems to be still on the north side of the
river, not having crossed as was stated last
week. The telegraph says there is no doubt
out that forward movement will be made
soon, and that the result will starte the
country. But this kind of talk is played
out. If the telegraph operators and news
paper correspondents could know how often
they have lied, in making such statements,
and how extremely ridiculous they sound to
the people of the country, they would GER
tainly stop making them. 1t appears, from
the fact that many of the officers are being
granted furloughs to visit their families.
and from other indications, that no advance
is contempla ted; and if the telegraph were
report that there would be another call
quiet-on- the Rsppahanuock" spell of sew
eral months duration, it would come nearer
the truth.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 18th has
the following from Jackson, Miss, of May
18th: 1.-The enemy yesterday advanced with
a column of twelve thousand men upon
Raymond, Mississippi. where Gen. Gregg
had forty one hundred infantry, few cav
airy and no artillery. Skrmishiug began
at nine in the morning. the enemy being
continually reinforced until one in the after
neon, when he opened the battle heavily
with musketry. Gregg fought two hours
with musketry alone, when learning the en-
envy was heavily reinforced, and that rein
forcements were ready to engage, he re-
treated through Richmond"
The Tribune's dispatch of the 18th says
movements are on foot, strongly supported
in aud out of the Cabinet, for the appoint
ment CT Gen. Butter to command the De-
partment of the West.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th con-
fesses 10 loss of ''from eight 10 ten thous-
and" besides fourteen guns, and claims to
have taken ''tbirty five guns, and some ten
thousand prisoners, IN the late battles near
Fredericksburgh.
The Times dispatch states that Senators
Wade and Chandler had arrived from Fal-
mouth. and report that our troops are in =
most excellent condition, and impatient for

in the recent fights.
The Charleston Mercury says: 1.-THE guns
of the Keokuk now lie on South CONNER
cial wharf. They will soon be mounted for
our defense, and are valuable acquisitions
no less than handsome trophies of the bat
tie of Charleston harbor.''
The Petersburgh (va.) Express of the
18th states that retaliatory resolutions were
adopted by the Confederate Congress. that
provide that every commissioned officer
commanding negroes against the Confeder-
ate States shall be put to death. and the ne
groes be delivered up to the State autbori-
ties, to be dealt with according to present or
future laws. The same paper speaks de-
spOndingly of affairs at Vicksburg.
