selves with the reflection that It was no
Yankee bullet that deprived him OF life,

the tirst engagement they should get into.
l asked them their reasons for this opinion.
They answered that large proportion Of
his army had been forced into the service
against their will that they were treated
worse than dogs; that jackson was the
greatest old tyraut in the world that he
did not regard the life Of man; that bis
troops were kept on half rations; that some
were shot for desertlou almost daily; that
they were tied up and whipped for being
absent without leave; that many of his
men were reduced 10 desperation, and that
they had deserted with certain knowledge
of the fact that II caught, death would be
their doom.
They said they had heard scores Of men
swear that Jackson would never como out
OF another fight alive.
This statement may afford to others of
the tyranuical rebel Generals and leaders
food for solemn reflection. They will find
