A Tribute to StonewnH Jackson from
n Federal Officer.

Major George Mcknight, of New
Berne, N. c., having, on behalf of
the citizens, applied to the com
mandant of that district for permis-
sion to hold benefit for Mrs. Jack
son, received the following reply,
which does honor to the head and
heart of its writer:
"HEADo'Rs, DISTRICT New BERNE,
New BERNE, N. c., Jan. 13, 1866.
Nh. George McKnigM-S1R: The
colonel commanding the district
directs me to inform you, in reply to
your communication of this date re-
specting your proposition for the
benefit of the widow of 'Stonewall'
Jackson, that the United States mill
tary authorities can never object to q
charitable action. All soldiers owe O
tribute 20 galllantry and honor. It is
presumed that every officer of this
command will esteem it a privilege to
be permitted to engage with you in
the assistance of q lady whose. hus-
band was SO respected and SO re-
nowned.

spectf,llly, your obedient servant,

A late Memphis paper says of the
Memphis and Charleston Railroad :
On this road, which has been in
complete running order throughout
its entire length, q number of new
bridges and culverts are being con-
structed, and such additional switches
and side-tracks as will meet the de-
mands of the increasing traffic. The
growth OF business on this road is
something really wonderful. A walk
through and about the depot will
realize for even the casual observer
that the energy and labor of the
officers of this leading railroad have
entirely dissipated the traces of war
and military occupation, so recently
manifest. The new iron bridge over
the Tennessee River, at Decatur, will
shortly be put mp. 1t will be one of
the finest structures Of the kind in
the Southern country, and will cost
not less than $3.50, 600
