THE LAST LETTER.

The Richmond Wig has been furnished
by the chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Southern Historical Society with the
following copy of the last letter ever written
by Stonewa1l jackson. The original is in
pencil, but it has of course been well pre-
served, and it is as distinct as on the day when,
more than eleven years ago, it was traced by
the hand of the hero whose fame makes it a
treasure beyond price:
"NEAR.s P, NJ, May 2, 1868.

a Melancholy Incident.

On Wednesday of last week, young man
who was an entire stranger in town, slighted
from the train at the Grafton House. and
took refuge in the Ticket Hall, remarking to
| several parties present that detective was on
his track, maneuvering for his arrest he
gave no reasons for the alleged intention to
arrest him, but acted in a manner altogether
strange, and gave evidence of mental de-
rangement. But little attention was given
him, no one feeling authorized to interfere
with him The train moved out and left
him in the Hall. and he then asserted that
he had been placed under arrest, by the
imaginary detective, and he refused to leave
the room. He remained in the Hall during
the succeeding day and night. refusing all
offers of assistance the next day the Rail-
road officials at the station endeavored to OBJ
tain from him some information of his case.
but he could give no definite particulars.
MIR. NJ. Mallonee, Ticket agent, proffered
him tood.-proposing that he should go with
him to his clearinghouse and he would pro-
cure HIM suitable entertainment upon his
refusal to go with him, Mr. NJ. then suggest
ed that he would bring him some food, when
he returned; this he peremptorily declined,
but remarked that it "looked hard that he
should be kept there and starved to death !''
va pAOoNoJS ShO OuCo received q
message from the east, describing the young
mau, and inquiring whether he could be
found in Grafton. Upon an affirmative re-
spouse being retained, his brother>in>I law and
brother-the one Mr.. Busted, editor of the
Centerville (Nld) Observer, the other an ex,
tensive manufacturer, operating at some point
on the eastern Shore" of Maryland-start-
ed in quest of HIM, arriving here Tuesday
morning.
1t trauspired that the name of the insane
man is Vickers, and that he has been for sew
eral years in a successful business in Louis
vile, KY. A short time since his only child
died, and in company with his wife he was
conveying the remains to his former home in
Maryland, for interment The shock occa
stoned by the death of his child unseated his
mind, and by the time they reached Grafton,
he had relapsed into morbid state which cul.
minated as above noted. He merely informed
his wife that the detectives were on his track,
aud left the train; she being unfamiliar with
the route. and perhaps terrified at his absence,
was unable give any clue as to the point at
which he had deserted her. Fortunately, he
remained in just the right place to render his
recovery certain, though his friends had tele>
grephed almost everywhere before this point.
After his brothers arrived they were sue
cessful in dissipatine his illusion SO far as TO
gain his ready assent 10 return with Them and

BREAKERS AHEAD.

Taking New York, the Empire State, says
the Wheeling Register, as specimen of what
Is insstOre for the Radical party, it may well
raise the cry Of sBreakersyahead." In that
Stateit seems to be driven to'extremity. The
third term question assumed there unexpected
proportions. and the almost positive endorse
ment givsnsit BY the Radical party, pointed
Enthusiastically to that party's defeat. At first,
withsgreat confidence and much bravado, the
party babe defiance to:whateyer damage this
issue could do. them, and launched its nomi-
nees forth. upon;the political sea, expecting to
win an easy administration aud Radical VIC
tory. Senator Conkling in his send,off to the
Utica nominations; deliberately placed upon
their shoulders. this burden.
Now a change has taken place. Public
feeling against the measure became too strong,
and al. last Governor Dix has been forced to
come out and declare himself personally OPP
posed to = third term. But. the New York
Herald, Whileait gives him honor for his
manly words, says it is too late, that the "brave
old:man" is "alOne, quite Alone" Abandoned
by his party and his friends, he cannot hope
hope. to winIthe battle.
The Herald always keeps an eye to the win
ming side, and here are its own words. AS
viii be seen it predicts political revolution
"When party is not brave enough to do
right its work is at an end. Centennial Dix
may save remnant of the once mighty and
puissant republican organization, but after
what We have seen in the West it will only
be remnant. From the aspects of the can
vass We are not simply on the eve of politi-
cal battle, but, as it would seem to us, great
political revolution"
