From The Richmond Enquirer. a. 80
We understand that our former dis
tinguished fellow-citizen, Judge VIII
liam L. jackson, has removed TO Lou
isville, KY, and, in connection. with
John G. Spencer, ESD, late of Parkers-
burg, Va, has commenced the practice
oflaw in that city, under the style OF
Jackson & Spencer, We are sorry
that, the "Old Dominion has now, in
the hour OF her necessity, lost the servt-
ces of such citizen as Judge Jackson.
We know himIweH, and we have long
appreciated his high qualities of both
head and heart. Judge Jackson has
held as many, If not more and higher
offices than any man Of his age IN this
State, for he is still quite young. He
first represented the counties of Wood,
Writ and Richie, in the General AS
sembly of Virginia; AFTER that he rep
resented the counties of Richie and
Peasants in the same body. Heswas
then elected Second Auditor of the State
of Virginia, he was afterwards elected
Lieutenant Governor to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of q. w: Me-
Comas, under Governor Wise, in which
office as President Of the Senate he rom
dered himself universally popular as a
presiding officer, by the suayity of his
manners and the impartial discharge of
his duties! AT the opening of the
war lie was Judge of the 10Th
Judicial Circuit, which position he
abandoned, and served during the war
in various capacities. He was on the
staff OF his relative "Stonewallv Jack
son, through his remarkable campaign
in the Valley in 1862, where he served
with distinction. The end of the war
found him in command Of a Brigade Of
Cavalry, which was the last organized
body of troops disbanded in the State
of Virginia. We are sorryito lose such
men as Judge jackson from our midst.
We know that we only,echo the regrets
of all his numerous iacquaintancs in
saying so, but as we cannot prevent it,
we can only recommend our friend to
the kindness of the people of Kentucky
and the city'of louisville, ms one who,
as a man of integrity, as. "A lawyer and.a
gentleman, will do honor to the State
which he has adopted, and to the people
with whom he has chosen his lot. We
are not acquainted with his partner,
Mr.. JIG. Spencer, but we have been in
formed by those who know him best,
that he is a young man of the highest
moral character and business qualifica
tons, and we earnestly recommend him,
to the kind consideration of the citizens
of Louisville. In conclusion, we wish
them only all the success that they de-
serve, which Is the best fortune we can
wish them. 10. f5s Asa li-7iis
