Chapel Statue, In bronze or marble to transmit
to coming generations the features, form ard ex.
preston OF one whose name and virtue, are alike
known and honored throughout the civilized
world, and who was bright e1emp.ar OF what
ever was true and noble and OF good report
among men.

these purposes. We invoke contributions from
all who will unite with US in paying this tribute
| to the memory OF STONEwALL JACKSON.
No local or sectional Views restrict the scheme.

daily responded to the appeal. The East and
West are moving In it; while the followers OF
Jackson in the field, and on the march throughout
the South, ore sending forward their tributes 10
