An Incident in Stonewall's Campaign,

A gallant officer, who serv ed in Stone.
wall Jackson's command, relates tEt
following, which l have never seen IN
print. 1t ls too good to be lost:
At the battle of Port Republic in
June, 1862, on the Sunday morning o.
the engagement with Fremon.'s forces,
Gen. Jackson ordered the chaplains of
his army to hold services in their respec,
tive commands. When abou, ready to
open services, a battery of ar tllery ol
the Federal Gen. Shields command took
position near the bridge crossing tho
river at Port Republic, the town being
in the fork Of the river, near the iun,:-
ton. Jackson's headquarters weio in
town, portion Of his army on tho op-
posite side and just in front Of Fremont's
army jackson was not apprised of
Shields artillery being nearer than
three miles until it opened fire on the
bridge, trying thereby TO knock it down,
and prevent the crossing Of his entire
army, leaving q force Of only about
$4,000 men to contend with Fremont's
force Of nearly 10000 men, splcudidly
equipped.
Jackson's keen perception ut once re.
cognlzed the predicament. His horse
was AZ once saddled and the war-worn
hero dressed in Federal uniform. Thus
mounted he crossed tie smaller stream,
rode hurriedly up to the aulery which
was very near the bridge, and in tho low
ground near the river. Assuming the
characterof a Federal officer, he com.
manded them to climber up" and take
their position on an omipence near by
that they might have good means Of
escape, md better command Of, the
bridge. The artillery commander, with.
out hesitating, obeyed the order, during
which time Jackson crossed the bridge,
had battery Boon in position, and oap
tured Shields artillery. The plan Of
destroying the bridge being understood
by Fremont, he commenced rapid nd-
vance. on jackson, who, 80 soon as the
bridge was secure, turned upon Fro.
mont, whipped him badly that day, cross.
ed the river next morning destroyed
the bridge, and used up Shields moro

Strong Language from a Republican
Source.

The following strong language IL
from tho editorial columns Of the N.
Y. Times lx /.
The tone and tactics of Gov. Hol-
den's organ, the Raleigh Standard,
arc simply Infamous. It ito purpose
were to provoke civil war, il could
not be conducted differently. Refer
ring to Judge Brooks issue of writ
of habeas corpus in behalf Of some of
the prisoners, whom Holden's man,
Kirk, keepsin military custody withs
out other warrant that the Governors
arbitrary will, the Standard uses this
els Judge Brooks ready to involve
the people Of North Caroline in civil
war : Does he. suppose Gov. Holden
will reccde before him2 u, y, The
Governor will not recede until the
Federal Army is used against him ;
and tho Federal Army will not be
used against him. We arc on tho eve
Of civil war, and when it begins all
tho blood and all the horrors Of it will
be on the skirts of Judge Brooks"
We suspect that Holden's desire is
to provoke the state Of things he pre-
tends to deplore. Having enabled
the Democrats toseoure a triumph, in
the late election, he would now pre-
cipitate the State into civil war that
he may obtain pretexts for invoking
,Congr essiopal, Interference. Should
trouble, come as the, result Of, ,Holde6's
ip,Pudent attempt to set himself above
the law, the country will hold that no,
and he alone, is responsible ! for ittv-

people see that new era has actually come.

Smith and Bayle, who happened to be on

by these karridans. One Of the men had
been violently pulled into the den and
robbed in the glare Of day, and had not the
officers acted promptly the women would
have escaped. AS it is a large portion of
the stolen money was recovered. The girls
were ordered to give bonds for future ap-

THE GAME WON.-The issue which made
the recent special elections Of so much in
terest was, that the Democrats made ''dead
set" to destroy the Republican majority in
the State Senate, and thus cripple the adj
ministration, and prevent the thOrough re-
construction of the State. But they lost the
day, and the Republican majority in the
Senate is maintained, without doubt.
The game has been won, and the adminis--
tration has been sustained before the peo-
ple.-Houstom Union.
