AN ANALYSIS OF HIS CHARACTER.
~ soldier Jackson was famous for the
yqpiitty Of his movements. In the spring
OF ls54, when Geaerai Banks, supposing
iha. he vas far from the Valley, sent col
UNA of bis army 10 attack the flank Of Gen.
tr.l Johnston, then falling back from Manas-
"a. and started himself TO report to WASH
iusron. Jackson suddenly wheeled, marched
u-s0n.s,r miles the first LAY, and eighteen by
10 O'clock the next morning, aud struck at
kerrstowD Il blow which brought back the
column moving on Johrston's flank and dis
concerted McClellan's whole plan of cam
paigu. 4 few weeks later, just as Banks
had teIegraphed to Washington that the
Rebel General Jackson was in full retreat on

march 10 the rear Of the braggart Pope (who
knew no lines of retreat") he made sixty
miles in Two days, and on various other oc-
