Jackson and Lee.

The Richmond Enquirer Of the 18th
inst. contains 4 lengthy communica'
ton giving various items and incidents
connected with the late battles on the
Rappahannock, from which we take
the following
Tho messenger who carried Gen.
Lee intelligence Of this sever MIS-
fortune (tho wounding of General
,Jackson) tolls me that he found the
Goneral on Il bed Of straw, about /
o'clock in the morning, and that when
told Of what had occurred, his words
were these THANK God it is no
worse ; God be praised that he IS still
alive = and that he further said :"Any
victory is 4 dear n that deprives US
Of the services of Jackson, even for a
, short time" Upon the informant
! mentioning that he believed it was
Geuoral Jackson's intention to have
pressed them on Sunday, had he not
have fallen, Gen. Leo quietly said
" These people shall be pressed today,
at the same time rising about A, NJ
Hastily dressing and %partaking OF his
simple fare Of ham and cracker, ht
sailed forth, | hero unattended, anc
made such dispositions as rendered
that Sabbath q blessed day for ca
cause, even though . Jackson had fall
en- among its leaders, o.,
AS every incident connected wit
these two great men must interest tn
reader, / will mention, AS quite current
that when General Jackson recelve'
the letter which General Lee sent hi
on Sunday morning, bursting into tears
he said, "far better tor the Contedcrg
cy that ten Jacksons should have Ia
On than one Lee"

The News.

We agree with the Richmond Exam.
iner, in the following reference to the
practice Of keeping news from the
PUBLIC.
1t is generally supposed that the
officers OF tho Government arc vory
roticeut Of untavorablo news. This is
certainly so with respect to the general
public but we fear that this foolish
farce Of keeping secrets in the Depart
ments, while doing injustice TO the
Legitimate claims Of public curiosity
and the patriotic anxiety Of the people,
has given opportunities to some few
individuals, favored with a sort Of left
handed information in the Depart
mcnts, to speculate in the news and
make commerce Of our disasters.
The intelligence Of the fall Of New
Orleans was in the possession OF this
Government five days before / was
communicated to the public. That OF
the Yankee occupation Of Jackson.
Mississippi, has been known to the
Government for several days, and il
still withheld from the people; but it
is remarkable that Il notorious ear'WI4
Of the War Department should have
got intelligence Of it within ten min
utes Of the time Of its supposed receP
tion-the consequence Of which was
pretty safe speculation in sugar, and tp'
advance already Of that article som
J twelve cents d pound. This CONNER"
o. in official nows is Infamous, and the ont,
! way to provide against is to give al! IN
tclIigenco Of important events in III
war immediate ard directly to the put
lie, and have no back door confidence
with spectators. We shall then hav
less, too, of rutnor chaGng about town
and the nuisance Of "thc confidcnc

From the Rappahonnock All quiet
on the Rappahannock. We learn from
fredericksburg that the enemy, as II
to guard a change of base, or appre-
hensive Of IN aggressive movement,
has, for several days past, posted a
double line of picAets opposite that
point, one Immediately on the river
bank, the other about fifty yards IN
the rear, on the brow Of the hill. Sew.
oral pieces Of light artillery have been
planted so as to command the two
most feasible places Of crossing.

ILLEGAL ARRESTS-ACrIoN OF
GRAND JURIES.

We learn from the New York Journal
of Commerce of the 7th inst, that the
Grand Jury Of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer of that city were busily engaged
in investigating the cases Of illegal arrests,
some of which had received the attention
of a former Grand Jury. Several United
States officers had been summoned to ap-
pear before them as witnesses.
The Grand Jury of Macanpin county,
Illinois, have indicted Brigadier-G -Gener-
ais A. w. Elicit, John Palmer and
Robert Gamble for bringing negroes into
that State contrary to law. The Generals
indicted acted under the orders of Secreta-
ry Stanton.
The same Grand Jury have also indict-
ed james Reyboarn, VIM. B. Dugger and
j. C. Miller, for the false Imprisonment
of citizens, also, under the orders of Stan
ton.

THE WHITE MAN NOT AS Coon AS
THE NEGRo.-The popular notion that
"the white man is as good as the negro if
he behaves himself" is delusion. The
discovery has just been made at New Or
leans and the fact is proclaimed in the
editorial columns of the New York Tribune
of New Years day. 1t says:
An officer in one of the colored regi-
ments in Louisiana says in ntletter:
"You would be surprised at the progress
the blacks make in drill and all the duties
of soldiers. ind them better disposed
to learn, and more orderly and cleanly,
both in their persons and quarters, than
the whites"
There you have it. The white man is
not as good as the negro. In mind, man
ners. and personal cleanliness the negro
is superior. The Tribune says SO and Of
course there can be no question about it.
Thus we have simultaneously proclama
tion from the warrior and statesman of the
White House declaring the negroes free
and another from the editor and philssoph-
er of the white coat affirming their superb
ority over the hitherto dominant race
Glory be to the negro! Also to Messrs
Lincoln and Greeley.-Rochester Demo

Arbitrary Arrests in Illinois
Message of the Governor.

Upon the subject Of arbitrary arrests
the message of the Governor of Illinois,
although not'in every respect coming up
10 the true doctrine, is in refreshing con-
trast with the ssrvile tone and craven
spirit of that of the Governor of Ohio.
After discussing-the point at some length,
he says:
Hence think that arrests should be
made only in extreme cases, in which
there can be no doubt as to the propriety
and necessity therefor; that the reasons
should be given to the prisoner and the
public, unless plainly to the injury of the
public service; and in all cases it should
appear that individual malice or party
reasons had not prompted thereto"
Had this rule been followed, few in
deed of the arrests that have been COM
planned of would have been made; and
how satisfactory would have been the
proceeding in comparison with the feeling
at present! 1t is evident that the Gov
ernor of Illinois does not look upon him
self as merely the agent of the General
Government, to think its thoughts, do its
bidding and justify its acts.
