Our seminary has only four students,
disabled or lurloughcd soldiers. My duties
here are, of course, greatly diminished in in
tcrest at the present. and should DO very i'll
content to stay here but Tor my engagement on
life Of General Jackson. Having been Sc
lcctcd for this work by Mrs. j. and Gen. Ewcll,
his successor, have devoted myself to it for
some months, rs perhaps the most useful work
/ could undertake, both to the cause of Christ
and our country.
| have received from Mrs. j. Of course all
the documents her husband left, and the a,,-
thoritics have extended the most Liberal GlciIi-
tics to me for making the narrative full and
correct. General J:ckson's frcnt.s and COM
radcs in arms likewise have been exceedingly
kind, and am con nvinccd that have /: mass
OF material such as no other person has or can
have for illustrating his life. shall complete
it in two very modest volumes. 1hc first is
already written and about to he published,
II will appear in the Confederate States and

following is copied from the correspondence
of a French officer in high authority in Mexico ::
We have just returned to Guadaajar,, and
come back filled with disgust and indiyna-
ton. What we have just been about was not
military expedition, but IL journey among
ruins and charnal houses. The enemy rob,
p!!age and burn, but will not fight. When
ever they pass they steal or destroy What they
cannot take with them. They compel the in
habiants to enlist in their ranks and if the I'M
fortunate wrctchcs refuse or hesitate, they exc
cute them. We have met on tile sides of the
road groups OF men hung or burnt; in some
places | have counted as high AS thirty, who
had been killed even the women and children
had not escaped the same fate On oui arri-
va! at an estate near Cusillos, Il dreadful spec
tacle awaited us; Outside the chapel Il woman,
completely naked, was hanging from tic xaIl
with her stomach ripped up to the bosom II
shapelcss mass, covered with blood, was swing
ing to and fro at her feet the tigers had torn
the infant from the womb Of it's mother, to
share her punishment; it was haugin.s from
ehc mother, suspended by tho umbcaI cord.
