STONEwALL JACKSON'S DEATH
Newbern Journal prints a letter from
Gen. James H. Lane, Of Va, detailing
the manner of Gen. Jackson. death
near Charlottesville, the same mar
rative which he printed in Col. POOLS
magazine in 1873. The Journal, by
mentioning the Farmer and Mechanic as
one of the papers which copied Mr.. T.
j. Capp's article leaves the inference
that we perhaps agreed with Caps.
On the contrary we printed it as an il
lustration of the singular manner in
which historical facts are distorted.
We have no knowledge of Mr.. Capp.,
further than that he was applied to by
Col. John A. Sloan-as the ma who
''drove the ambulance in which Gen.
Jackson was hauled to the hospital -
Be this as it may, he is of course widely
wrong as to the facts. The fighting had
mainly ceased Con account of the dark
ness) some time before Stonewall was
wounded. We have often heard from a
personal friend, Capt. Robert Morrison,
"a brother-in-law of Jackson,) the full
details of the sad affair. Capt. Morri-
son was n of the two, possibly three,
men who carried the wounded General
some five hundred yards into a gulley to
get him out of the range of the fire, lest
he receive more wounds. 1t was some
time after this (after s p. m.) before an
ambulance could be found.
We cannot understand how Mr.. Caps
fell into q such a mistake.

their faces.
1t is different now. Unfortunately a
large percentage of the &c. A. rs are
young men of energy and character
whose going leaves an hole, not simply
in the population, but also in the bone,
sinew, joints aud marrow of our unfor-
tunate commonwealth. Week after week
for years we have noted these westward
flights. And why? Answer, because
we wish to emphasize the fact that North
Carolina needs stirring up, so that her
energetic young men would not grow
discouraged and wander afar to take up
the burden of life amid new fields and
among new surroundings. There is a
lesson in many facts we have printed.
There is much talk about new people
coming in, but if they don't come in fast
er than they go out, we gain little.
Certain it is that scores of Northern
men who settled in n {. two or three
yeats ago are already gone, We can
give the names of many.

Doing the Best we Can.

Quite a shower of communications
from friends Of both sexes came this
week, but must stand over until mex
week, though possibly of greater inter
est than much of the matter in the
present number. \ word Of explana-
ton on this point may be useful to the
general reader. Southern weekly news
papers Except those which are mere re-
prints Of daily return but very small
profit upon the expense incurred. The
Farmer and Mechanic, for instance, does
not average 20 cents clear profit upon
a years work in furnishing a paper.
Hence it is necessary 10 be economical.
Heuce we employ two printers and an
apprentice. Hence the paper can con-
tain only a certain amount OF type per
week. Our printers are sober, intelli-
gent, well-disposed young men who
have been with us since the first issue
seven years ago but they can only
set a certain amount OF ty pc per day !;
therefore must begin on a new paper
just as soon as the old Ii Las been
! printed and mailed. Our mailing Of it.
self takes up one full day for everybody
in the office.
Thus, correspondents may see that il
| their letters do not come i'll time they
are apt to be too late, as Paddy would
say. News items crowd them out. Just
here comes Richmond Rocket OF Jan.
10th, with the following:-
.'How Capt Shotwell can crowd SO much news
into the columns of his excellent Farmer and Me-
ehanic is . mystery to-some folks"
Thank you. sir: it is pleasant to have
such voluntary expression but we
should be very sorry lot to hope for very
great improvements one of these days.

ACCIDENTs.-With regret We learn
that Justice Ashe, of the Supreme Court,
while crossing an icy foot-bridge. on hi.
way to church, in Wadesboro, fell and
received a painful sprain, with probable
fracture of a small bone of the ankle.
The high regard in which he is held man
ifests itself in frequent inquiries CON-
CT 1ning him-Mrs. VIM. G.. Lewis,
we'll known in Raleigh, by an accidental
fall suffered the fracture of a rib. one
night last week, in her residence at
Statesville.-There is nothing like
making the most of circumstances. An
old song was based on the adventures
of Bryan O'Lynn, who had the happy
faculty of finding the best and shortest
cut out of any difficulty. One verse
ran -
Bryan O'Lynn and his wife and wife's
mother
Were all coming over a bridge to-
gether,
The bridge it bruck down, and they all
fell in
'Lets go houme by rather."-cried
Bryan O'Lynn.
A couple of well-known lawyers had a
fine chance to come home by telegraph
the other night. They were coming
from Carthage, the county seat of Moore.
to the Railway Station at Cameron. As
the team vas going rapidly they passed
under a sagging telephone wire which
caught the body of the vehicle.-a long,
narrow OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES threw it
suddenly back into a sQuatting position
with the fore wheels up in air. and the
four passengers vice versa-all neatly
bagged in the behind part of the wagon.
whose curtains had been securely fas-
tened, forming a cut-de-sac, as it were.
1t was a position of great peril. for if
the horses had run away the inmates
would have been dragged to death.
Happily, they were held by the driver.
and tails we'll that ends WE'LL" Never
theless we have an innate conviction
that those talented lawyers. Col. Hins-
dale and Murchison will cheerfully as
sign their contingent remainder on any
similar situltion for the value of one
pepper-corn. legal tender the law
provides.
