jackson, and gratefully accepted
by Virginia, in the name of the
southern people. Done A. d.,
1875, in the hundredth year of the

Below are the words of General
Lee, at the battle of Manassas
"Look! there is Jackson, stand

gave the great hero the name of
"Stonewall" jackson.

ten letter without mentioning the
liberal conduct of Col. MAIDEN
bousch, our old commander of the
I'd Virginia, to whom too much
praise cannot be awarded for his
liberal, kind and close attention to
his men, sharing with them such
comforts as he was able to bestow
during the trip, and staying with
them, seemingly enjoying the ma
ny discomforts incident to the oc-
casion. In this his conduct was
quite unlike that of many other of
ficers who sought snug quarters
in hotels and boarding houses lea
wing the men to shift for them
selves, as best they could. His
conduct during the war was always
characterized by similar acts, when
in command as a distinguished of
ficer high in the estimation of the
great soldier whose memory we
honor on this occasion.
This gathering has no political
meaning, and it might be proper
to State that at every point in Rich
mond, National flags are displayed
beside that of ensigns bearing the
Virginia coat of arms, and / know
that the men who have given their
paroles to obey the laws in force
where they reside, would no more
think of violating that pledge than
would Jackson, were he alive, and
whose every act was i'll keeping
with that of an honorable, chris
tan soldier He would have been
the last man to counsel such a
movement or encourage such
sentiment.
From the State House proudly
waves the stars and stripes and the
Virginia State flag side by side,

Inc little daughter OF Gen. Jack

the vast crowd, and her appear

FREIGHT RATES ON LUMBER.-We spoke
Yesterday of the Grand Trunk officials being in
conference at the Falmouth in reference to
freight charges over the road to Portland. The
present tariff is $21 per car load of 5000 feet of
lumber and the proposition Of the lumbermen
was that it be reduced to $1S from Gorham and
vicinity. Nothing definite was decided upon,
but it is very probable that reduction will be
made. Whatever arrangement the Grand
Trur makes will be satisfactory to the Bos-
ton roads since they are paid under contract
with the Grand Trunk made last fall. But
the most of this lumber is expected to stop
here.

THE STORM.
Two Men Frozen OH the Ogdensbprg.

The effects of the storm on the line OF the
Portland & Ogdensburg railroad, for the last
two days, has been very severe. The train from
here on Thursday morning did not reach its
destination up to last nj, hit, it being lodged in
a bank in the cut near North Conway, and all
day yesterday large bodies of men were engag-
ed in extrica.ng it. Conductor Goodwins
train (freight) was lodged in a snowdrift near
Brownleld, and was only extricated after great
labor yesterday morning. Yesterday -Superin .
tendent Hamilton went up the road to find his
missing trains and help them out, and this was
finally accomplished, so that to-day the trains
will probably run on regular time. Two gen.
tlemen, Mr. Palmer of Belfast,and Mr.. Staples
of Kezar Falls, attempted to go to Denmark
in sleigh, but haa to leave their horse about
six miles below Brownfeld, and walk through
the snow to the latter place.
The stage for Bridgton was unable to make
its trip, aud all the passengers were compelled
to remain at Brownfield. r~"sA /
The first train down arrived here at late
hour last night.
Two Swedes, who recently went up to WORK
on the upper end of the line, were brought to
this city last evening, badly frozen, one having
his legs frozen to the knees as well as his
hands, while the other was badly frost-bitten
about the feet. They are unable to speak Eng
lish, and were taken to the station house.
