have just had a conversation with o
gentleman, who vas In the East ct the
time of Lees first invasion OF Maryland,
man, who had abandoned New Orleans
rebel regiment in which he had served
twenty six months, having participated
in nearly all the great battles in Virgin
10, and who belonged to ona of Stone
wall Jackson's divisions. This German
seems to be well posted in Southern pol
itics, and manifested knowledge of
Southern leaders, and their abilities,
which is rarely met with in. rebel sol
diers. ,.:r.. ..-....... >.r,.r IL. a. II
He says that Stonawal Jackson was
never seeessienist, yet he Has o demo
erat of a strong States Right character.
That he differed with JEFF Davis and all
other leaders of the rebel Government
on many material points in regard TO
the manner and means of the defense
of the confederacy. The policy Of the
rebel government was to scatter the r4b-
el troops over the Confectionery sending
North Carolina troops to defend Virgin
ia, while Virginia troops were called to
the rescue OF the old North State. Jack.
son stoutly and persistently opposed
this scattering policy. contending that
the troops Of each State should be as
signed to the defense oftheir own State,
| OF course this policy of Stsnewall made
him popular with the; soldiers, as they
preferred, defending their own homes,
and in consequence Of this growing pop
ularity of Jackson with the soldiers, rem
dered it necessary thatshe should be put
aside.n JEFF Davis dared not remove
him as President Lincoln did Mcclellan,
and the soldiers of the rebsllious Com
/ federacy would not stand it, jackson
was, as his history shows, an uneompro.
missing radical in any view he entertain
ed, and pursued and carried thFcagh, ev-
ery thing he undertook, with y bulldog
| persinaclty. In o word, he must be pnt
out of the way, or the Confedersts' array
was, at any moment, on tbs brink OF dis
Iintegrstion and ruin. - - -.
| Alter consultation of rebel leaders
at Richnlead, it was resolved that ut the
! next battle, jackson was to be shot
down. Extra Bill Smith, OF Virgins,
who was then candidate for GoyeFnoi
| in that State. was charged with tbs exc
cutiou of this plan. A sufdcieat quantf
ty of rebel scrip procured the men who
were willing to slay the rebel cheifsain,
and at the battle Of .Chaneell4gyille.

We hope our friends, In this county
especially, will consider the present q
favorable time to make an effort for ex-
tending the e.circulation ofthe NoNpARrrL.
The Tories charge this journal with "a
main responsibility for their signal defeat
on the 18th inst. Such being the ex-
pressed opinion of our enemies, we are
justified in concluding that The NoNPA-
rEIL wieids an influence IN favor of the
good .cause-we desire no better proof of
the fact than the open assertions of our
political opponents, who speak from ex-
perience--having .fek the truth of what
We say. They charge that the Union
candidatestin the county were "Iared to
support 8 big paper through the cam

or black mail ;, " is wholly gratuitous on
the part Of our Copperhead tfriends4a

enies. If big paper" has dealt them
such fatal blow, let our friends see to it
that the said ''big paper . is not suffered
IN die out. We are not backward in
claiming for the NoSPARE1L q full share of

they must have paper,why not have one
of respectable dimensions? To insure
