j. Easten Cooke.
The death of the famous cavalry
man produced deep and painful SEN
sation, in some degree akin to that
produced by the death of Jackson.
The Southern people indeed had be-
come accustomed to couple together
the three great names, Lee, Jackson
and Stuart, valuing each for his pecu-
liar qualities. No comparison is in.
tended to be made between three dis
tinguished soldiers, but it is interest.
ing to notice how sharply contrasted
they were in character, and how pc.
culiarly each was fitted for the sphere
in which he moved and his special
functions. Lee, the head and front of
the struggle. was the born commander,
fitted for the conception of great cam
paigns, ever wide awake, a man of au-
gust dignity; by nature calm, suave,
grave; taking good and evil fortune
with the same imposing serenity; in
person, one of the most noble and
graceful men of his epoch, aud the
finest rider in the Southern army; in
| character, simple, pure patient, bind
ing to himself both the love and re-
spect of men. Jackson was the in
fantry leader, the fright arm" to exc.

not graceful, in manner, silent, re-
served and often abrupt; cautious in
council, but rapid and terrible in exc
cution, going TO battle with muttered
prayers on his lips, leaving all to Prov
| idence, but striking with all the power
OF his arm TO do his OWE part, and in
many ways resembling the Ironsldes
of Cromwell. Stuart, on the contrary,
was the cavalier, essentially belonging
| to the class of men who followed the
fortunes of Charles I.--ardent, impet-
uous, brimming over with the wine of
| life and. youth, with the head long
courage OF high. spirited boy, fond OF
bright colors, of rIppling flags, of mar

in all the warp and woof of his char
acter an embodiment OF the best traits
| of the English cavaliers-uot of their
bad traits. Although his utter care
lessness as to the impression he pro-
duced subjected him to many calum-
MES, it is here placed on record, by
one who knows his private life thor
oughly and was with him day and
night for years, that he was in morals
the purest of men; a faithful husband,
| absolutely free from vice of any de-
scription, and if not demonstrative in
his religious views, an earnest and eX-
emplary Christian. His love for his
wife was deep and devoted, and on the
death of lis little daughter Flora, he
said to me, with tears in his eyes, II

last night IN the held by the democrats. and
which lasted from eight r. ~ until three A. N. to-
day.
A CLOSE CONTEST
That the contest was close Is sufficiently indicated by
the fact Of the length ofme the was in session
and by tho further that twenty i've ballots were
taken before the nal decision was reached Al three

50 given, the remainder being divided among his
several rivals or repeated ballotngs had failed 10

but rather as that OF Governor Hampton, who claims
to represent both sides He supported Judge Wizards
claims with all his strength ana bat Tor his support

Governor Hampton chose to make this contest the
touchstonc Of his own popularity party strength
and the democrats did ignore tho expressed
preference OF their great leader the first oc-
caslon OF It's being put TO the crucial test They
have complied with his wishes for his sake, and
