, A "a 9 g n.

The following authentic and deeply in
teresting account of the woundlng and
death of the great Confederate chieftaln,
Stonewall Jackson, is taken from the May
number of the Richmond Medical Jour-
nal. No one will regret the space it oc
cnp;es in our columns. The battle OF
Chancelorsville was fought on the Sd and
Sd o? MAY. 1868 It was on the night of
the Cd that the Dreadful accident (Gen,l
J. having received his wounds at the hands
of his own men) occurred, which was the
turning point in the fortunes OF the Con-
federacy. We append the account:

fully towards the rear: Occasionally rest

haustion which pain and the loss OF blood
produced, he at last reached the line OF
battle, where most OF his nen were lying
down, to escape the ehel and caunister
with whic,, the FeGerals raked the road.
General Pendesr rode mp here to the little
party and asked who was wounded, and

officer" but Ps,uder recognized the Gen
eral. and. springing from his horse, hnr
riedly expressed lis regret, and added
that his lines were so much broken he
feared it would be necessary 20 fall back
At this moment the scene was a fearful
one. Tie air seemed to be alive with the
shrieks of shells aud the whistling of bnl
let's; horses, riaer'ess aud mad with fright
dashed in every direction hundreds let
