Stonewall Jackson-A Reminis-

ago, at daybreak, JacksOn's advance
force approached tho lofty hill on the
southwestern side Of Winchester, and
the Stonewall Brigade, commanded by
Gen. Winder, charged and gained pos.
session of the heights. Tho defaat Of
Banks and his retraat through the
streets OF Winchester was the result Of
a few hours hot lighting. The entrance
of our troops into this noble and patri-
otic valley town was the coming Of
morning after long and stormy night
Men, women and children tbropged 10
crowds from the housas. Confederate
Gags and white handkerchiefs waved
from every window, and the glad vol
ces of women and children filed the air,
crying, "1hank God, We are free once
more" Jackson, the man Of iron, for
once in his career, gave way to the ex.
element Of the hour, and the people Of
Winchester remember now the face OF
the Christian hero as he rode through
their streets, his faded cap in hand, and
the first and last cheer that ever escaped
his lips rang out SO clearly above The
rattle Of muskeiry.
