STATUE OF STONEwALL JACKSON
During the war q number of English
gentlemen who sympathlzed with the
Southern cause united in the effort to
procure a suitable memorial of the great
Virginia soldier who fell at Chancellors-
vile. Several distinguished persons,
amc ng them Hon. Beresford Hope, P. N.
and Mr.. Gregory, now governor. general
Of Ceylon. interested themselves earn
estly in the movement, and in a very
short time a sufficient fund was raised
and the order was given an artist. Mr..
Foley, who was chosen, is probably the
first Of living English sculptors, and
those who have opportunities Of deter.
mining the basis on which bis reputation
rests, express their belief that this work
will be Of the highest order of art.
The statue is Of bronze, Of heroic size,
and represents the hero as standing in a
favorite attitude of absorbing thought.
The work was completed some time
since, but owing to circumstances which
can be better understood than expressed,
the donors have postponed its shipment
to this country. Lately, however, Mr..
Hope has written to a Virginiau officer
who was the intimate comrads of Gen.
Jackson, asking his advice as to tho best
disposition to be made of the stat1e, and
the recipient OF this communication has
consulted with other Confederate officers
AS yet, no determination has been arrived
at; but it cannot be long before tho
site will be chosen, aud some favored
spot Of Virgiuis's soil be cons.crated by
an enduring monument to one whose
genius and heroism illustrated in life and
death aud all the highest virtues of the
race from which he sprung.

his constituents, or sought more carefully
to keep the public good uppermost IN his

proved at home IS plainly evident, and
that he has won for himself and the
state q creditable reputation abroad, is
apparent from the following article, pub

THE amount " con 6dence entertained
