now clear to me that the psrpetuity Of our pres.

intelligence, forbearance and consistent course
Of action by the Democratic party. The Jacob
Ina and radicals who are the leading spirits
of the POLITICAL party In power seem quite as
intent on destroying our civil rights as In whip
ping the rebels into subjection. Il is our duty
to insist on the preservation intact of the form
OF government established 10 1850, and that the
territorial limits of the nation shall never be
diminished. To attain this end, we must see
that the Government is not sllowtd to fall to

Most people suppose that JACKSON received
the title Of "stonewsll" because he fought at
some battle under the protection Of stone wall.
This 10 mistake. At the first battle of Bull
Run, JACKSON was Colonel in the rebel army,
commanding brigade. During the day his
brigade was under most terrific FIRE from our
artillery. Gems. JOHNSTON and BEAuREaARD rode
up to JACKSON and suggested that he had better
withdraw his troops a short distance out Of
range Of the guna, He replied, "No, / think
not; my brigade Ia as firm under fire 90 q stone
iosH" After this, his brigade was called by
the rebel" "the Stonewall Brigade" The morn.
ing before he died, in speaking Of bis brigade,
he said, "Men who live through this war will
be proud to say to their children, Il was one Of
the SioneWall Brigade" He always insisted
that the term "stonewAll" belonged to biz
brigade, and not to himself.

Our wounded in GRANTS Army.

Referring to the statement that the Presiden
Of the Western Sanitary Commission baa made
on appeal for the wounded in General GRlST'i
army, the New York TimD says:
Our western heroes deserve this. Those who
have read during every morning In May of their
great deeds on the field, have had their feelings
thrilled as well aa their admiration excited
There is now an opportunity to exhibit slight
appreciation Of their deeds. Our victories near
Vicksburg we're NOS won without dreadful sui
ferings. Many gallant soldier laid down his
life, and many hundreds, aye, thousands, OF
them are now whiting In pain. Let us all,
while we mourn for the dead, do what ie in our
power to stanch the wounds and comfort the
heats Of the living,
Very few of ne az home have az yet any just
idea of the great amount Of suffering endured
by our brave boys in the recent operations n
Missssippi and before VickSburg. By degrees
We are learning that they have suffered fear
fully from the intense heat, from their long and
rapid marches, and from the skirmishes and
bloody battles In which they were almost daily
engaged from the first Of May tall the la.t ad-
vices from vicksburg, We have had ss yet
no official reports of the sick, or q the
killed. % Wouaded 10 these various
engagements. Bat We know from facts
stated in regard to our losses prior to the
investment Of Vicksburg, and from intimations
Of what they have been since. that the number
of our wounded may be counted by thousands,
and that owing to the climate, the heat Of the
weather and the want Of proper care and asten-
tion, hundreds Of them win inevitably perish,
who might under other circumstances have been
saved. Whatever their success or reverses
may have been, or may hereafter be, gratitude,
patriotism, humanity alike demand that the
sick and wounded 10 the noble army of the
w est should receive all the relief and succor In
the power OF the public authorities, Of charita-
BILE societies or private individuals to afford.

On Friday last, a liberal citizen of Washing
ton gave a snmptuous entertainment to about q
hundred wounded soldiers from one or two of

along the streets in solid body, they presented
o most touching spectacle. On Saturday, q
party of thirty heroic eoldiers, each one of
whom had lost leg, hobbled up to the White
House to pay their respects to the President.
They were kindly received and treated, and
hobbled back to their quarters, as happy as If
they had been upon spree. The sight was one
which the children OF. a future peaceful and
