SToYFwALL JACKSON following
correspondence will explain itself Any
thing that has reference to the sainted
hero of the South, will always find az
echo of affection in the hearts Of his
countrymen. The letter Of the ladies of
Memphis is full of that tender sympathy
that touches the heart with gratitude,
while the reply of Mrs Jackson is not
only sad and touching, but worthy of the
wife of the great hero:
MEMPHIS, January Is, 1866.
Mrs.. T. J. Jackson, Charlotte. N. g.:
DEAR MADAM:-We take great pleasure
in transmitting to you, in the name Of
the Southern Women of Memphis, a
portrait of your lamented husband, Gen
eral Thomas J. Jackson, executed by
Mr.. Jno. R. Saunders, Memphian ar
list, who has himself generously con
tributed part OF the subscription price.
In attempting the likeness Of one of his
country's greatest men, Mr. Saunders is
said to have been successful by those
who had the privilege of standing face
to face with him who was the familiar
companion of your life, and the hero of
recent history We hope you may dis
cover in this portrait something to remind
you tenderly, not tearfully, OF the past,
and that you may look on it with mem
DRY thronged with sweet recollections,
and animated by AUST and Christian pride
in the glory and usefulness of life cut
down by your side. Looking on these
illustrious features, we feel, indeed, as if
we were reading in them the calm, un-
settled glory of the past, and taking
new inspiration from the grand and mel
ancholy eyes, a new lesson of courage
and patience from the mute lips. 1t is
thus pictures speak to US. Regarding
the portrait, you may catch on your own
heart the gentle whispers of remembered
love- To US, it speaks the more general
words of our countrys history, tells us
of immortal deeds, and bestows on us
too, an gfectionate memory of the past.
Surely he whose services belonged to his
country, whose name Illuminated his
country, whose life was given for his
country, has other tenderer memorials
than those on the eminences of public
life; and no shrine more appropriate
and inviolable than the hearts of his
countrywomen.
We have the honor to be yours sim
cerely,
Mrs, t. J. TURLEY,
OLIVER GREEYLAw,

A very neat little theatre has been made
out of it. Mrs Charles Howard, the pet
of the Varieties, years ago, now Mrs
Harry Watkins, is the proprietress OF
this new undertaking, assisted by her
husband, who is a very clever general
actor, and comedian Of considerable
reputation; and by her niece, Miss Shaw,
a highly accomplished pianist. She has
gathered a company to sustain her IN
her reputation of musical and other
pieces, in which her piquant style Of
acting, and her pleasing vocal powers
have ample scope. We are glad TO
learn that Mrs and Mr.. Watkins
expectations have been realized by the
result of their experiment, as far as it
has gone. And such is the army of at
