An Earnest Appeal.

The movement TO erect over the grave
of SToNEwALL JACKSON at Lexing-
ton a monument that will appropriately
commemorate the love and generation
in which his countrymen cherish his
memory has taken practical shape, and
will now be vigorously pressed. A
circular has just been issued, signed by
General G. W. c. LEE, president, and
Captain JOHN c. BOUDE, secretary, OF
the Jackson Memorial Association, which
makes an appeal :" to the countrymen
Of SToNEwALL JACKSON, and particu-
larly to the noble women of the South
and to the men whom he led to battle"
which must meet with generous re-
Spouse throughout the entire southern
lind. The Association and its object
nave the sympathy and approval Of the
widow Of the dead chieftain, and she, in
endorsing theln. says
:" You were kind enough to suggest
that some expression Of my approval Of
this design would aid in its accomplish
ment. If so, permit me to say the or
ganization, with its corps of officers,
seems to me to be all that could be de-
sired, and | will await with the deepest
interest the result of this purpose to do
honor to the name and memory Of Gene
raj Jackson"
Captain G. NJ. FIGGAT, whose adj
dress is Lexington, is treasurer Of the
Association, and the Executive Com
mittee is composed in large part of the
gentlemen who so successfully managed
the Lee Memorial Association. There
should be an auxiliary organization in
every city, town, and village in the
South for the furtherance of the noble
purpose in view. The circular well
says:
1--WE well know that he needs no
monument. His grand figure will loom
up in history, though this generation
pass away and leave no sign of its ap-
probation Of his virtues and his great
ness.
'But the men among whom he lived,

their graves without leaving some en-

him and their admiration for his splen-

The Chicago Tribune, commenting ON
General Josnu X. ASpERsoS's gem
erous letter proposing that the rank Of
General o. the Army be revived, aud
that GRANT be appointed to the posi-

trying to wage a guerrilla war upon
the South. But the Tribune does not
stop here. II adds:
"But General Anderson goes even

South votes to reward General Grant
the North should be willing to reward
southern generals. twill be
a long day before treason and rebellion
will be rewarded by the consent Of the
North. even should General Anderson
and his Confederate associates keep the
war open forever"
If this is not magnificent example
Of disqualification on the part of the
Tribune. what is it? Having declared
in one breath that it regarded the war
as over in 1865, in the next it proceeds
to torture the language Of General AN
DERsoN as only spirit bent on re-
viving sectionalism and the passions en-
gendered by the war could torture it.
General ANDERSON never threw out
the least hint that could be construed
into the idea that he or any one else ex-
pected southern soldiers to be pension
