OVER THE GRAVE OF AN ENEMY.

IL il highly credabe to the spirit and temper of the
people IN the Loyal States that while wagng against
caussess and unnecessary rebellion they stand
the grave Of the who almost than any other has
been it's uphoder the battlefield and forget their
admiration of his private virtues and military herosm the
cause in which he fell and the damage be has to the
Government they sustain Journals differing widely in
their political views the New York World and the
Morning Chronicle Of this city can unite in doing homspe
to the memory of good and brave whose energies
were unhappily enlisted in they both condemn
We condense the words of each for as the expression of
universal feeling among us, they worthy of being
placed in the urn that holds his ashes.
From the Washington Morning Chronicis.
Stonewal Jackson is dead While we are only too glad
to ba rid in any way Of terrible foe of
lief s not uumiged with emotions Of aud sympathy
at the death Of brave Every who possesses
the slightest particle of maguaimity must admire the
qualities for which Sfonewa Jackson was ceebrated-his
herosm his bravery his sublime devotion, his purity of
character He is the first instance good man de-
voting himself to bad cause.
When England learned that the sudden death Of the
Emperor Nchoes had removed the great obstacle to their
success IN the Crmean war; the people delirious
with Joy We hope aud believe that such brutal and
unseemy exhibitions will disgrace the American people
They are unworthy Of msgnanimous nation and stain
upon humanity. Let rather devouty acknowledge the
provdence of God, who while he smites that accurssd
land with famine and the people with madness takes fem
their accursed cause s bravest noblet and purest de-
soldier, noble Christian, aud pure man. May God
throw these great virtues aganst the sins of the
sionist-the advocate Of great ma ional crime
/ From the Nep York World.
1t credtabe to the manhood Of Northern people
that the news OF the death Of Storewa jackson ba
been received throughout the Union with thrill not Who'll
ahen fom the emotions which il must have touched II
those rebelous states the gbtangs Of whose battle be
had often launched against armies and our hsg Al
every noble heart that beat beneath the red Vt
Parliament must have mourned the peerless Falkland
every hghsoued cavalier must have brushed aside en-
honest tear when Hampden fell our children will BE-
proud 10 know That Northern vaiur aud Northern loyalty
the price OF the Northern soldier and the faith North
CITIZEN paused 10 tha hottest and sternes hour of
great orueg to honor the memory of the in whom
the Union had found Mt the most dangerous aud the
conscientious the resoute aud the chivs
of its foes. War hateful when it kills
in m the supremey manke quality Of justice to
mies and the spontaneous irrepresble tribute which
to all mems lips when they beard that the bravest Of
the rebe brave had died soldiers death victory
by the heart and temper of the Northern people,
which the Of history will inger perhaps with
thing Ike relief from her sad chronicle Of men arrayed
for mutual slaughter"
The Northern people honored in Jackson qualities whch
the worst cannot Obscure They respected ths SIN
ceriy OF the much they admired the daring Of
the soldier They believed him mised but they felt that
be mreader They amented in hs victories only
this that ats which reflected such upon American
gsanry should have been performed in fatal

before the early grave of heroic cbieain the example OF
whose high qualities the ruest aud most loyal soldier OF
the Union and the right may honorably lay TO heart.
