JAcKsoN's WARNINa.-The following pithy
and impressive, and most truthful remark,

Gen. Jackson, at his Hermitage, shortly be-

warning to every good citizen. He said VI
"The Abolition party is disloyal organization.
It's pretended love of freedom means nothing

teresting paragraph Is extracted from series
of sketches of that wonderful military genius,
by one who served under him
What marked him as one of the men of fate
was his astonishing equanimity in the tface of
peris which would have overwhelmed other men;
bis cold determination not to give up;' his refu-
sing to entertain the idea that he could be defeated
At Manassas he surveyed With utter calmness the
terrible spectacle of the Confederate lines reelng
back before the Federal hosts, pressing down with
their enormous reserves of infantry and artillery;
and when Gen. Bee, with uncomfortable anguish
in his voice, told Jackson that the day was going
against them, his cold reply was: sSir, we win
give them the bayOnet.' The last words of the
brave South Carolinian till how he fought his old
brigade. He stood like stone wall-a stern,
stubborn and mmoVable. At Kernstown, when a
portion of his line gave back before the over
Whelming numbers assailing it, he took his stand
close to the enemy, amid storm of bullets
called to drummer boy-and placing his hand
firmly upon the boys shoulder said, in his brief,
curt tones Beat the raLiyr The rally was

Bradford and Hays & Rays claimants. He holds
the claim for this one hundred feet under the
first discovery, (which was called the Rochester,
and not the Poorman ledge) made by Ross and
Tucker, who discovered the ledge. The Avalanche
says the Rochester ledge existed more in imagi.
nation than in fact. The editor Of that paper is
not the Court and therefore need not go to the
trouble of proving up the reality ami first exis-
tence of that ledge in this communication. Mr.
McCarroil will be prepared to show before the

is . just and clear one. But he will not black
mail any man to win his case. Whether anybody
has been black mailed to publish articles against
him remains to be ascertafned. XIX

In the history OF fires on this continent. Fifteen

width. The building in which we had the office of

consideration the magnitude of this fire. the rrible
