sTONEwALL JACKsON's HORSE
SUPERIOR
From the Macon (Ga.) Journal.

rum tnN AhaNhA Aaasf ~NAlhNts
The INDECENT circumstances of the
estimable relict of the world-renowned
hero, Stonewall Jackson, have necessitated
her TO sell his horse, Superior" The
animal was about to be sent TO a Baltimore
fair for sale, when one of our most liberal
aud well-known merchants proposed to
purchase him at the proposed price. The
horse arrived in Macon on Monday even
ing last.
An extract from letter from Mrs. Jack
son TO the purchaser, says: Superior is a
large bay horse, about sixteen hands high,
black name aud tail, good carriage, fine
action and good eyes age supposed TO be
about nine years. He was gin to Gen.
j. from the county Of Augusta, Va, and
was bought for him at $500, in 1862. Gen.
Jackson rode him on reviews and other
occasions demanding any conformity to
ceremony, as he was a much handsomer
horse than the sorrel.
Il have been hoping that you would
take the horse, as l would greatly prefer
selling him TO a patriotic Southern man
than 10 disposing Of him at auction in
Baltimore, where Barnum or any other
Yankee would have a chapce of buying
him.
A letter from the old hero's chief-of-stafs
also SAYS: Superior arrived at the Gen
erals headquarters while he was at Moss
Neck, Just after the battle of Federicks-
burg. He was then in better order and
had more dash than he has now, and the
General was delighted with him, riding
him every day for exercise, and the pleas
IRE il gave him. At a review of w. II. +.
Lees cavalry, Generals Lee, Stuart and
Jackson rode together-Gen. j. being
dressed in the fine new uniform which was
presented TO him by Stuart-so well re-
membered by all of his corps-and mounted
on Superior On that occasion the General,
his horse, and his uniform created quite
sensation, taking the fancy Of the cavalry,
and bringing from them several cheers and
many odd remarks. He afterwards re-
viewed division of infantry on him, but
never rode him in action"

GEN. LEE ON A PRTYATE VISIT.

GEN. LEE On A PRIVATE VISIT.
A contemporary gives the following ac-
count Of recent visit by Gen. Lee to an
old friend
General Lee concluded to enjoy his
vacation in his own way. Accompanied
by his youngest daughter he rode across the
mountain at the gap Of the Peaks and
Otter. They stayed all night at the foot of
the Peaks, and walked the next day to the
top. From the mountain they rode down
TO Bedford in the rain, Miss Lee protected
by an oil cloth. They arrived late at night
in the rain, and being unexpected were not
at first recognized. The travellers were
soon reftted, the young lady having man
aged, with the resource Of a soldiers
daughter, to pack small wardrobe-du-
pick extension no doubt included--in a
pair Of saddle bags They both appeared
in the parlor as fresh as ever General
Lee enjoyed the simple hospitality of these
true friends, and returned as he came, re-
freshed by the excursion and grati6ed to
know that there are still those in this evil
world whom no misfortune can ALLEVIATE
The letter narrates several incidents which
illustrate the attachment Of the people TO
General Lee. They were on their way to
the Peaks on mountain road he had never
travelled before. There were two little
girls playing on the rocks by the road side
As soon as they saw him they whispered to
each other and ran towards their home He
called them, and asked pleasantly, "Why
do you run Are you afraid Of me ?"
All, no sif," said the eldest, Eve are not
afraid, but we are not dressed nice enough
10 see you" "Who, then, do You think /
ana? ?" you are General Lee" they both
exclaimed; Eve know you byyour pictures"
As soon, says the letter, cas- il was
known General Lee was at our house, the
people thronged to see him. The ladies
brought their children, and he received
them with his characteristic kindness. His
old officers around here were very anxious
10 give him an entertainment but he de-
clined. He has such a horror of notoriety
that he shrinks even from the public dem
onstration Of a small village His horses
were one night sent by mistake to the hotel,
but the proprietor refused any pay, saying
he would have been happy TO have enter
tanned their owner General Lee was
troubled at this refusal and said with
sigh, All this is the way these kind peo-
pie do; cannot 60 anywhere without
giving them trouble When he came
down stairs TO take leave Of us, dressed 10

boots outside of his pantaloons, / am sure

ton Of the people at the exhibition Of
Paris, even among the crowd Of crowned
heads arrayed like Solomon in all his
glory As he rode away, with his daughter
at his side, the people assembled along the
village sidewalk and stood with uncovered
heads until he passed. He ACKNOWLEDGED
this mark Of respect by taking off his hat
until he had rode along the line Ii was a
review in which the spontaneous simplici-
