1t was Y very touching incident. We
heard Southern editor telling 1t on an
elevated traiu yesterday, and he was In
a great hurry 10 get home and put It 10

opens 10 palatial mansion in New
York. A lady sits in a parlor filed
With the most cestly luxuries. Diam.
onds as big as hlberts glitter in her
ears. Lace costing thirty dollars per
yard almost hid the color of her dress
from sight. A clock costing $4,000
strikes the hour of four p. N. At this
moment her husband rushed into the
house, pale, haggered, suspendes
broken, hat bunged up, and bis boots
all mud.
"Have you-have you caught tho

and all these luxuries and works Of art

She laughed meuily and long. Had

thought it had; bat he was green. She
left the room for a moment and then
returned with pillowcase containing

dropped by bis side, and his horse, thu
DO longer controlled by the reiD,
wheeled suddenly and ran off with him
from the firing, in the direction Of the
enemy. His horse ran violently be-
tween two pine trees, from one of which
low bough extended, about the height
IF his head, 10 the other aud as be
passed between the trees this beush
struck him in the face, tore of his cap,
and threw him so violently back thai
bis shoulders came in contact with his
horse. He did not fall. however, and
soon rose erect again, selzing the bride
with the bleeding fingers Of his right
hand, and turning the horse into the
road again. Here Capt. Wilbourn sue
ceeded IN catching the reins and check
ing lie animal, who was almost frantic
from terror, at the moment, jackson
was about to fall from the saddle.
The scene which the road presented
at this moment was gloomy and exclt-
ing. Horses mad wilL fright were
seen running in every direction, IN the
greatest cOnfusion-some of them rider
less, others defying the control OF their
riders-and in the road lay the wound
ed and dying, making the night more
tragic Nth their groans. The whole
escort Of Jackson, except Capt. Will
bourn and Mr.. Wynn, of the signal
corps, were killed, wounded, or dis
mounted. One Of the signal corps, who
was ridding just behind jackson, had
his horse killed, and himself fell NOR
tally wounded. A courier was woun
ded, and his horse ran with him into
tie esemy's lines, which were not more
than one hundred yards distant; and
Lieut.. Morrison; aide-de-camp aud
brother in-law Of Jackson, threw him.
self from his horse as he ran of toward
the enemy's line-the animal falling
dead a moment afterwards. Capt.
Boswell, chief engineer, who had been
sent TO Gen. Hill, near by, was killed,
and his horse ran with him into the
enemy's lines before be fell; Capt.
Forbes, aide-dt camp to Gen. Hill, was
killed ; Capt. Howard, Of the stat,
was wounded, and his horse bore him
off into the Federal camp Capt. Leigh,
aide-de-camp, had his horse shot under
him; and two or three of Gen. HIPS
courlers were killed. Near the spet
where Jackson was wounded, were
counted the idead bodies Of fourteen
horses.
Such had been the lamentable result
Of tbs causeless 6re-officers and men
killed, others wounded. others borne
off into the enemy's lines Capt. Bos-
well, Of Jackson's staf, dragged corps
toward Charlottesville, and Jackson
himself wounded unto death.
