Virginia. His father died when he was
but three years old, leaving his family
penniless' The little boy THOMAS lived
with an uncle until he was seventeen
years old. In the meantime he laborel
on the farms in the summer, and went
to school three months in the winter,
where he gained the rudiments of a plain
English education. Ills habits of life at
this early age, are described as grave
and scriogs-his discharge of every
duty conscientious and complete. At
the age Of sixteen, he was elected con
stable of the county of Lewis (where
his uncle who raised him lived and the
duties Of that Office he discharged with
intelligence and credit.
When seventeen he set out on foot
for Washington, to secure an appoint.
ment as cadet at West Point. Some
| political friends aided him, and he en-.
tered upon his studies there in 1912.
In July, 1916, at the age Of Twenty-Five
he graduated with distinction, was
brevctted second lieutenant, and immedl
atcly ordered to report for duty in Mex.
co, under Gen. TAYLOR. He was sub.
sequenrly transferred to Gen. ScoTr's
command. In August, lS47, he was
made first lieutenant in MAGRUDER's
battery, and was brovctted captain for
gallant and meritorious conduct in the
battles o! Contreras and Churubusco.

Gen JACKSON was the first colonel

May 23d, same year, he was relieved
by Gen. JOS. E. JOHNSON, and assigned
to the command of the infantry in the
Shenandoah Valley. On the 2nd of
July, Col. JACKSON met and defeated
the enemy at Failing Waters, aud this
success gained him the appointment of

Hill "to press on" that he turned from
the front, and, with his staff, rode back,
IN n trot, toward his own men. 1t was
late at nlght-.9 or 10 o'clock. His
own men thought the Gen. and staH
were enemies, and fred upon them.
Two Of his staff were shot down, and
the General himself pierced by three
balls. He fell from his horse, and was
caught by Capt. WoRMLY, to whom he
said,
"All my wounds are by my own
men,"
This fatal and "untoward event"
drew forth fire from the enemy who
made a sudden advance and actually
charged over JAoKsoN's body. But
they were repulsed, and the General
was rescued. While born upon the lit.
ter one of the bearers was shot down,
and this gave the General severe fall
adding to the injury Of his wounded
arm. He was left in that condition for
five minutes until the fire slackened,
when he was taken off in an ambulance.
AS lie was carried off the field, frequent
inquiries were made by the soldiers,
"Who have you there 2"
The General told the Doctor
"Do not tell the troops l am wound.
ed"
a mortal prostration succeeded his
wounds and injuries, though he con-
versed freely. Mrs. JACKSON was at
his bedside, and when she told him he
was about to die, his reply was,
Very good, very good, i. is all
right"
He sent messages to his friends, the
generals and others, and feebly express.

He then began to wander in mind
and to give orders to the commisssry Of
his corps, the surgeons and the com.
manders. His last words were
"a. L. HILL, prepare for action"
An d at fifteen minutes past three in
the evening, beautiful Sabbath even.
ing May 10th, 1868, the pure soul of
our beloved JACKSON took its flight to
Heaven.
Thus passed away the great light
from tho Southern constellation. and
from the shock Of its departure the
South never recovered. BY friend and
foe the memory Of that great and be.
loved cheftain is reserved In letter
from Major. General FRANK p. BLAIR,
jr., of the Federal army, to the recent
mass meeting of the johnson party in

The following is the suggestion of the
Richmond E'raminer as to the manner in
which this day be observed:
The leth Of May is the anniversary
of the death Of "Stonewall" Jackson.

transacted on that day, that all stores
be closed, that all papers ntsrmi. pub.

the whole Confederate army. In all the
churches let collections be made for the

hands.

the consolidationist in contradistinction

The Demand for q New Political Party.

The Richmond Times calls for the
formation of a new party in politics to
be called the "Union conservative par.
ty." There is really no occasion for
any party in the South, although there
is nothing amiss in the discussion Of the
elements best to form such. The time
will come when the demand for party
will arise and for that reason public
opinion in the South, instead of being
indifferent or reckless and divided
should rally around one common banner
for the advocacy and defence ofpolitical
rights. There will be hot contest for
the maintenance of those rights, not of
arms however, bat of words. And it
therefore become us Of the South 10
pre'deternine what shall be the concert.
ed course ofthe South.
The name Of the party naturally
grows out Of the circumstances original.
