stohewall jackson, Hood az Sheridan

II, IS
The following record shows these three
Generals to be men who dealt blows during
the late struggle that secured victory to their
respective banners
jackson according to Lees account, gained
for him Charlottesville, the last decisive vic
tory of that distinguished warrior
Hood, in the lead Of his Texans" from
Jacksqn's official report, gained the first great
victory for Lee over Mcclellan, at Gaines
Mill; and, according to- Longstreet's and
Bragg's record, he, at the head of his corps,
struck the blow that gained Chicamauga.
Longstreet, Immediately after this battle
urged his promotion, saying, after gaining the
victory, he had the misfortune to lose limb
Sheridan, according to General Grants re-
cord, dealt the blow that secured for this great
Captain his most glorious victory at Peters
burg, resulting IN the surrender of Lee.
Jacksons campaign in the VALLEY of Vir-
gnia will be one Of the brightest pages in
military history.
Shcridan's campaign in the Valley is equal
ly brilliant. When he overran Early he de-
cided the fate of Richmond, and only used the
torch under orders.
Hoods defence of Atlanta, and his Tcnncs-
o. P"iS1", "iSi 'ICy "IC uIocISIOOQ anu
it is known with what small dispirited force
he had to work, will rank with any operations
Of the war. This campaign was made as the
last hope of success in the West. :.
jackson fell at Charlottesville, the proud.
est field of his life, and the brightest hopes of
the Confoderacy. With $4,000 men he dealt
the blow that achieved this mighty victory.
Hoods last fight under Lee was at Gettys-
burg, the next great battle after ChanccHors
vile, and the first defeat of that able military
chief. Here Hood received his first severe
wound, and that stubborn old fighter, Long
street, then said, and also after the battle {:
" Had Hood been SO fortunate as to escape un-
hurt, Round Top Mountain would have Sc
cured victory to the Confederates in lieu of
defeat"
sheridan's operations in the Valley of vir-
ginia and around Petersburg, distinguish him
as the bold, dashing mover of the United
States Army, and from my standpoint the
achievements of Jackson, Hood, and Sheridan,
as military men, have been wonderful, never
surpassed, if equalled, and they are therefore

LOST AND STOLEN rRopERTY--A CARD.
To the People Of tic United States:
During the late civil war in the United
States, in the marching of armies and dcsola-
ton of our country, our people have lost mil
lions OF money and a vast amount Of every
conceivable kind Of property, embracing car
riages, horses, gears, wagons, buggies, and
every manner of machinery necessary to farm
ing; colts, mules, cattle, saddles, brides,
blankets. and everything used in stables so.

cloaks, coats, vests, cravats, neckerchiefs,
shoes, boots, stockings, socks, and every man

children; watches, lockcts, rings, bracelets,
keepsakes, mutfs, furs, and everything used
to adorn the persons of ladies theological,
legal, historical, classical, poetical, and every
manner of books, ancient and modern, in all
Of the dead and living languages spoons;
dishes, plate of every kind-all, have been
stolen from us, and may be found on the ta-
-bles, on the person, in the barns, in the sta.
bles, in the houses and libraries of people,
many of whom claim rank and respectabity
in the Northern States, among whom are the
families of lawyers, ministers, captains, colo
nels, generals and professors in colleges, with
thousands of privates in the army and chap
lains and governors of States. Our people,
although suffering from fire and the riot Of
armies unknown in any Christian country for
the last three centuries, could, with compare
tive comfort, live and build up their churches,
stolen and occupied by troops for hospitals,
by invaders to preach strange doctrines We
can build anew the grave-stones of the illus.
.trious dead, whose honored ashes have been
reposing in our midst, revercd by mankind.
We can buitd anew our houses, barns and
other buildings devastated by barbarsm. But
in the name of common honesty and common
decency let US have back our stolen goods
If this is done, we will neither need charity
nor aims from anywhere Property thus sto.
len may be returned to the placeNfrom whence
stolen, or notice of the same left at the Office
of the "New York Day Book" or any other
papers of the country which will act for us.
We most respectfully request the publication
of this notice in every paper in the country,
and request the ministers of the pulpts of the
United States to read this notice to their con-
gregations, as it may lead to the return Of
millions Of dollars worth Of property to the

AN ASSOCIATION FOR SECURING WHITE
LABoRERs. We were informed Yesterday BY
a gentleman who has taken lively interest in
the matter of deyising means for the securing
Of white laborers in this State that the amount
of one hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars has already been raised for that object by
citizens in and about this vicinity. A. char
ter for the organization of the Association has
been granted by the Legislature, and it is the
intention of the gentlemen at the head of the
enterprise to have the scheme in working or
der at ap early day. A letter has been re-
ceivcd from gentleman of influence in Ger
many who declares that he can persuade thous.
ands of the people of that country to emigmte
to South Carolina if our people will only offer
those inducements which it is within their
power to do 1t is to be hoped the suggcs-'
tions contained in this letter from Germany
will receive the close consideration they de-
serve at the hands of our citizens.
Efforts to organize an Association for the
securing of white laborers in our midst have
been making for some. months, and it is
source Of satisfaction to know that they have
not been in vain. Having progressed thus
far in &Ca ~ b,o
tant that active agents should be sent out to
Europe for'the express purpose Of informing
those people who desire to emigrate to this
country of the many advantages offered them
by this State to settle within our borders
In this connection we would suggest to
General Pillow, who is testing the system of
white labor in Tennessee, that the public
would, doubtless, be pleased to hear OCCASION
ally of the result of his experiment. Some
time ago he wrote to General Howard. Chief
of the Frccdmen's Bureau, expressing his be-
lief in the future success of the new system
Should his convictions be substantiatcd by
the facts, the Southern public will be desirous,
more than ever, to enlarge the system and
make it permanent All measures that will
tend to secure the improvement and cultiva-
tion of the soil cnpnot be too speedily acted
upon Cha'lestoY Courier.
ROBBERY took place at Chattanooga late
~, which, if the facts are stated correctly, is
one of the most extraordinary on record. Two
men, named Bass and Williams, pretending
to be detectives from Columbus, Ga, persua-
ded lieutenant of the military guard to fur
nish them assistance, went to the Crutchfeld
House, dragged several gentlemen out of bed,
carried them to the guard house, plundered
them of over two thousand dollars in money,
watches, etc, and kept them locked up that
night, and the next day started South. The
affair is undergoing Investigation before the
military authorities
