Eight thousand Germans held a meeting at

resolution recommending the removal of Hal

stead. The meeting was interrupted by Gen.
Davidson, the commanding officer of the De-

must not proceed, as it was their duty to sup
port the President and his appointed agents.
Nevertheless, the resolution were adopted, and
the interference of military authorities with
freedom of speech was denounced.
The New York Herald, alluding to the death
of Stonewall Jackson, says that "he rescmblcd
Napoleon in his early career more than any
other General Of modern times. The victory
of the rebels at Charlottesville was dearly
bought. jackson was an universal favorte in
the rebel army, and popular even in our own"
The Herald gives lengthy sketch of his
military career.
The Washington Chronicle, in noticing the
same event, says: "While we are only too glad
to be rid ofany so terrible foe, our sense of
relief is not unminsled with emotions of sorrow
and sympathy at the fall Of so brave man.
Stonewall Jackson was great General brave
soldier, a noble Christian and pure man.
May God throw these, his virtues, in the scale
against the sins of the secessonist advocate of
that national crime"

Reliability of the Northern war Ac'
counts.

It is quite time that the people Of North un-
dcrstood that the news which comes to us from
Rebel sources, respecting military operations
in the West aid Southwest is the only news
thar they can be sure is true. The kilograms we
pet from Cairo and Memphis respecting alleged
Union successes are almost invariably false, and
the information vouchsated us from official cir
cles in Washington as to military operat'ons'n IN
the West is not whit more reliable
Within the past few weeks we have been
told that the Yazoo Pass expedition was sue
cess, which was false; that twenty odd trans
ports and 1000 men had been captured at
Yazoo Pass, which was false; then Hane's Blum
had been taken and Vicksburg evacuated
which was false; that Admiral Farragnt's whole
fleet had passed the Port Hudson battcnes,
which was false; that the 1ndianola had been
recaptured as good as new, which was false;
that the Lake Providence canal was "all right
which was false; that the famous "cut" on
was ready for service, which was false; and
finally that union fleet had reached the Iazoo
bv means of the Sunfowcr river, which was
also false.
On the other hand, the Confederate reports
and dispatches have proved almost invariably
to be correct. Much Of this accuracy is doubt
less due to the fact that the operations OF the
Union armies and fleets are in the heart OF 'lie
cremy's country, while the Union news depo's
are hundreds of miles away from the scene OF
conflict. But this fact alone will not account
for the utter worthIessness OF the Union re-
ports What makes the matter worse Is tIat
they come to us de- government l"dorseheh1

REL oRTED CAPTURE OF JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI,
By THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES REcAPTURE OF
THE cI:l-THE ENEMY DRIVEN BACK.
The telegraph, thus far, has brought us no
tidings of the capture of Jackson, Miss, by the
enemy. Vague rumors of that disaster, how
ever, have been rife since our last issue. The
Montgomery Ad0ertiser, which was received at
a late hour last evening, contains some definite
information obtained from an officer who
reached that city on Friday night. His advces
from Jackson were derived from refugees who
had escaped and telcgraphed from Brandon
and other points. The ADVERTISER says:
"1t appears from these accounts that the
fight begun at an early hour Thursday morn
ing, some eight miles southwest of Jackson,
and continued nearly all day, our troops COM
mandcd by johnson and the enemy by Grant.
We were finally driven back to Jackson, and
fought them through the streets until o> erpow-
cred by greatly superior numbers, and were
compelled to evacuate the city, the enemy's
force amounting to about 10000 or 10000,
and our owu only to about 5000. Gen. John
ston then rctreatcd on Canton, twenty -four
miles due north of Jackson, situated on the
wagon road connecting thence 10y Walden to
the road running due east to the Yazoo River.
and leading directly to Vicksburg, some seven
ty miles from Jackson 10y this route.
"When heard from yesterday morning, the
encmy's cavalry were at Brandon, on the
Southern road, twenty old miles this side of
Jackson, near which point we had force to
protect the road This fact is official and may
be relied on.
IL ii. m "Wednesday, ani the fight commcn-
cling so early next morning. left INN no ;ime
to rcorganizc and concentrate the forces, and
he no doubt made q desperate resistance under
great disadvantages. 1t is stated that some
days before leaving Tennessee General John
sion sent General Pcmber;on al order TO some
what change his plans. which was forthwith
set aside by the latter as very improper dicta-
ton to so consequential a commander, where.
upon General Johnston received an order at
the .ast moment on Saturday 20 go to Missis-
sippi and take command of the army. Lie left
the sanlc day, ard arrived in unprecedented
time, as before stated, "Wednesday morning.
We are glad to learn that his complAcent pre-
dccessor had SO far anticipated the evacuation
to have tie most important supplies, and
the archives and other articles of value, re-
moved. Our army has four months provisions
at Vicksburg. We have ample force in COM
munication in Mississippi under the mastery
lead of Johnston, to meet and repel the in
vaders, but it may require some little time to
put our forces in the proper position"
(Ihe Lntest.)
From trustworthy private dispatches, re-.
ccivcd yesterday evening, and dated Mobile,
May II, we get the following important and
gratifying news: The report that part of the
troops from Charleston and Savannah had been
captured is without foundation. The Yankees
were whipped and routed from Edwards
Depot.
Lieutenant Colonel Ellison Capers, of the
Oath S. c. ", was slightly wounded in the
leg.
