A Monument to stonewaIl jackson.

Wetake pleasure in laying before the citizens
of Virginia the following card, proposing the
erection of monument over Stouewall Jack
sons grave, and aFording the admirers of that
great soldier an opportunity to contribute to
the object:
To the Officers and Soldiers of the Second
Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia,
to all our comrades in arms. and to the
friends of our Chieftain throughout our
country:
1t is generally known that soon after the
death of General jackson, the Stonewall
Brigade obtained from Mrs. jackson the
privilege Of erecting monument over his
remains.
The amount raised was lost in 1865, and
the sad reverses in our southern country have
prevented the completion of their patriotic
and loving purpose. Seven years have passed
since our General fell, and we now ask you to
unite with us in suitable memorial of loveand
respect; one that, more than all others, meets
with the cordial appreciation of Mrs. Jackson.
Every State in the South was represented
at different times in his army corps. Let or
CARNATIONS be at once formed in every vicin-
ity, and the funds contributed be RENTED to
either of the undersigned, who will deposit
them at the banking house of r. FL. Maury
G. Co., Richmond, Va, until "a sufficient
amount is collected:
R. L. Dabney, Major and A. A. g., Hampden
Hunter Mcclure, Medical Director and Sur
geon, Richmond, Va;
William Allan, Lieutenant Colonel and Chief
Of Ordnance, Lexington, Va;
W. j. Hawks Maj. s G. s., Charlestown,

James P Smith, Captain and A. D. c., Fred

Surviving officers of the staff of General T.

1.-THE above circular was published in our
last issue, but we regret that in the copy fur
nished us the name of our wel-known and
highly esteemed fellow-citizen, Maj, Wells J.
Hawks, was inadvertently omitted. Major
81. will gladly receive any contributions that
our people may feel able to make, and forward
them to Richmond, to be deposited at the
banking house of R. q. Maury & Co. Let
Jefferson give response to this appeal, that
will fully accord with her past history

TIE MAYOR OF RICHMOND.

The admission of Mr.. Ellyson to his place
as Mayor of the City of Richmond is rare
eventin the subjugated South. 1t is victory
of law over earpet>bag impudence and arbi-
trary power. CahOon was appointed Mayor
during the military rule of General Candy
and, like others of his class, he undertook to
hold on to profitable position after a successor
had been legally elected by the people. The
question who shall be Mayor of Richmond is
not in itself very important, but the settling
of a principle, and the subsection of military
rule to the civil authorities in the South is
something to rejoice over.

General Lee at Norfolk.

The following from the Norfolk Tiryinian
gives an interesting account of the reception
of the old hero at that city and Portsmouth:
"Early on Saturday afternoon it was
rumored through the city that General Lee
would reach Portsmouth by the Sea>board
train, at half-past o'clock in the evening.
Such an announcement, as might be expected,
stirred the blood of all who had followed him
in his glorious career, and long before 7
o'clock the space around the depot in Ports
mouth was filled by an immense crowd, COM
posed, not only of those who had worn the
grey, or who sympathized with US in the
struggle, but of those who were opposed in
the field and elsewhere, to a separation of the
South from the United States. The Ports
mouth boys had borrowed the gun "Brick
Pomery" belonging to the Hope Fire COM
pany, and as the train reached the depot, and
it was ascertaiued that the General was aboard,
they fred a salute to welcome the hero. The
General accompanied by his daughter. was
met at the depot by Colonel Walter II. Taylor,
his former Adj utant General, and was by him
conducted through the dense throng to the
ferry boat. The air, during his passage
through the assemblage, was vocal, with shouts
of welcome to the old cheftain. 1t may also
be remarked that these shouts were not of the
measured hip-hip- hurrah TIE kind now in
vogue, but were the genuine old fashioned,
Confederate yells which quickened the pulses
at all the battles in this State, from Big Bethel
to Appomattox courthouse, and which doubt
less awakened host of memories in the
breast of him in whose honor they were
uttered. On board tho ferry boat the cabin
in which the General was seated was besieged
by crowd eager to catch. a glimpse of the
hero, but the door was faithfully guarded,
and as far as possible he was relieved from the
inconvenience of being envelopcd in multi
tude whose only wish was to do him honor.
As soon as the boat started several Roman
candles signalod the United that the Gen.
erai was on board, and in few minutes their
cannon pealod forth warlike welcome. which
was kept up until the arrival of the boat on
this side. Here another immense concourse
was assembled, and as the General and his
escort stepped on the wharf they were greeted
with another succession of the familiar wells
of the battle field. which continued until they
had reached hack and were whirled rapidly
away.
The General is the guest of Col. Walter Fl.
Taylor, and will probably remain in the city
day or two. We have not had an oppor>
tunity of taking good look at our beloved
leader, but in the glimpse we had, we could
see little change since we last saw him on the
field of Appomattox. The form is still erect
and the ca gle eye undimmed, although per-
chance the hair is trife whittier now than
then, and his cheeks little thinner, perhaps
the result of his recent sickness. His pres
ence is still as noble and commanding as ever,
and would win respect and admiration even
where his name had never been heard, if such
Il place exists"

Railroad Matters.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company,
corporation proverbial for its sagasity and
enterprise is about to undertake one of those
gigantic conceptions which, in any other age
than this, would be hooted as insance. From
the Baltimore American we copy the follow
ing:
There is authority for the statement that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
propose to construct tunnel under. the Ba-
sin of the Patapsco river, at Baltimore, at a
point between Locust Point and Canton, the
proposed terminus of the Union Railroad of
Baltimore, which latter road, by its connec-
ton with the proposed Junction Depot, on
Charles street, gives the Baltimore and Pos
tomac, the Western Maryland, the Western
MARYLAND Extension, the Northern Central,
the Cumberland Valley, and branch lines con-
Meeting with these roads, an outlet at tide
water on the grounds of the Canton Company.
The Baltimore and Ohio Road has extensive
piers at Locust Point, and owns considerable
property in that neighborhood, and the object
of the proposed tunnel is to effect close con-
nection with the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Roads, SO that passengers may
travel from New York to Washington, or
from Washington to New York, without
change of cars, and without being subjected
to the delay now occasioned by the use of
horses in conveying cars from the Philidel-
phia to the Washington Depot. This con-
nection, the friends of the road say, will OBJ
viate the construction of the proposed "Air
Line Road" from Washington to New York
Engineers have for some time been engaged
in making the necessary surveys, and have
pronounced the tunnel easy of construc ton.
If so, the work should be commenced at once.

THE 18TH AMENDMENT"

Many times have Democratic journals
warned the people against the strides to des-
potic power SO manifest on the part of the
ruling party at Washington. The 18th
Amendment ties up the hands of the people
in the regulation of the ballot; and now comes
the 10th. It was introduced into the Senate
by Mr.. Drake, on the 18th inst, as follows
ARTICLE XVI.
SECTION l.. The United States shall pro.
tect each State against domestic violence
whenever it shall be shown to the President
in such manner as the Congress may by law
prescribe, that such violence exists in such
State.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate legisla-
ton.
Under this thing, the President might
swarm his armies on every State on very slight
information, and Congress is to be specially
authorized to make laws for this purpose
Every amendment adopted previous to 1860,
under Democratic auspices, was to protect the
rights of the people, and prevent centraliza-
ton. The amendments of the present day
tend to centralize power. The 10th is
launched. 1t is calculated to finish the bust
ness

THE RAILROAD IN BERKELEY.-The
Martinsburg papers seem to be possessed with
a dread that the railroad subscription will be
rejected in that county. If it is, their last
hope is gone, as the following letter from
Judge Watts, President of the Cumberland
Valley Company, addressed to Hon. Chas j.
Faulkner, will show: -
81 trust that your people so appreciate the
value of the Potomac & Martinsburgproieeta as
to induce them to vote their appropriation to
it, for without this. the road cannot be built
The Cumberland Valley Company will drop
the subj ect at once whenever it shall be ascer-
tanned that the people of Berkeley county are
unwilling to put their hands to the work.
The Cumberland Railroad Company has no
chartered privileges in West Virginia, and do
notintend to have the subject belongs to your
selves, and all you can expect from US is to aid
you with money to build the road upon our be-
ing secured in so doing, and the security must
be the willingness of your people to advance
money to help themselves. The Cumberland
Valley Railroad Company has not one-half as
much interest in this extension as your people
have. You want road to compete with the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad You want a road
to let YOU out directly to New York, whereas
the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company is
we'll enough as it is. 1t pays now as well as
we could desre, and it is really only because
we do not feeljustifed in standing still whilst
all around is progressing that we have made
any suggestion on the subject. But if your
people reject it, of course so do we."

RS- The Richmond papers contain full &C.
counts of the observance of Wednesday as a
day of humiliation and prayer in that city
The Examiner says:
Never was proclamation issued by Gov
ernor obeyed more strictly in letter and in
spirit than that of Governor Walker, fixing
Wednesday as a day for humiliation and
prayer. Go where you might, and saint and
sinner, Hebrew, Christian and he of no faith
alike showed that he respected the day and
evinced his sorrow for the event it comment
GRATED, by closing his place of business. The
churches, at the hour appointed for prayer,
were filled with serious hearers, and no min
lister had to complain of thin or careless con-
gregatiOn. The streets were during that time
as empty as if law prevailed forbidding cit
liens appearing upon them.

Gov. Walkers Speech.

On the occasion of the recent mass meet
ing held in Richmond, Gov. Walker spoke as
follows =
Fellow-C itizens-You are gathered upon
an occasion more solemn. distressing and
mournfll than you or ever witnessed before.
A great public calamity has befallen us. In
the midst of life We are in death. Yester-
davis sun rose bright and clear upon a city
happy and joyous, and set upon city draped
in mourning, the evening air rent with lameu-
tations and wailing. Fellow. citizens. have
no heart to talk now, for there are occasions.
aud this is one of them. when the heart is
too full of sorrow for utterance Some of the
dearest friends had on earth-friends whose
memory | will cherish while life and recollec-
ton last-have been stricken down in mo-
ment Imourn no kindred, but mourn that
which is higher, more sacred and more dear
the loss of sincere, generous, high-souled
and manly friendship.
1t is eminently meet and proper that we
should meet together this day, and humbly
recognize in this appropriate manner the
terrible visitation of a mysterious Providence
pray God. my fellow-citizens, that during
the remainder of my life and your life, our
eyes may never again rest upon a scene SC
appalling and heart rending as that we wit
messed here yesterday. when, where all was
life and hope, over fifty of our fellow. citizens
in moment, without warning or preparation,
were suddenly plunged into eternity.
1t was indeed, my fellow citizens, one oil
those awful sights which rends the heart
which language fails to describe, and which
has to be witnessed to, be appreciated. On a
solemn occasion like this it is fitting that we
should appeal to the Throne of Grace for aid
and succor in this our time of afiiction.

COOP FEELING.-From the Richmond
Enquirer of the 9th instant, we copy the
following -
The thorough and cordial good feeling de-
veloped by the recent calamity in this city is
at least source of consolation in the midst of
the distress which has been occasioned. We
have heard much, and we doubt not, deserved
commentator of the conduct of Mr.. d. Il.
White, the Delegate from Elizabeth City,
from persons heretofore prejudiced against
him. One of the most interesting incidents
connected with this sad occurrence was the
funeral ceremonies of the colored Senator
Bland. His remains were escorted to Burke
vile, Prince Edward, by committee of the
Legislature. Major Grimsley, the Senator
from Culpepper, young officer of distinction
in the Con federate service, was the chairman
of this committee, and so performed his du-
ty as to call forth many kind expressions from
Senator BANDS friends and neighbors. Major
GrimsIey's remarks, in reply to what was
said by the representative of the friends who
received BANDS remains, are said to have
been very touching and acceptable. to those
whom he addressed.
