StOnewall JacksOn's Way.

An officer of the Confederate army
tells the following story of ii council of
war, in which Stonewall jackson took
part
On the night of the battle of Fred
ercksburg, when Burnside was trying
to get his army back to the Stafford
side of the river over the one pnntoon
bridge that was left, Lee called
council of war. jackson had been
holding Il position about three miles
down the river from Marye's heights,
where the fierceSt fighting had taken
place, but had moved his command up
closer late in the afternoon. The
night was fearfully dark and a driz-
cling rain had set in. Jackson came
into the council, saluted the officers
present, and took IA seat off in corner.
General Lee stated the purpose for
which the council had been called, and
asked one of the senior officers for his
opinion and then another, until all
had spoken save StOnewall. Lee then
turned and asked his opinion, but re-
ceived no response. All turned to
hear what he would say, and there sat
Jackson bolt upright in his chair fast
asleep. "Why, bless me-" said Lee,
1.-THE old fellow is fast asleep" and go
ing to him he shook his arm and called
his name, which awakened him. Gen
eral Jackson, Will You give us your
opinion as To what should be done ~
"Gentlemen," he said. 81 am sorry
that have not heard all that has been
said, but my plan is, it the council will
agree to it, to go back to my corps and
march it into fredericksburg at once.
The enemy has met with severe re-
verse, and it is in all probability de-
mOraliZed. They have only one bridge
over which to escape. One corps is
sufficient to do this work, to destroy
what remains of that army on this side
of the river, and that being done the
campaign will be over
"But, general" said Lee, ''consider
the fact that those men have only the
one bridge over which to escape they
will fight desperately"
"What if they dog My corps is ac-
customed To desperate fighting. But
the very fact that they have only one
avenue of escape, in their demoralized
condition, will cause them to make
every effort to use the bridge. They
will not fight so desperately as you
think"
''But consider the darkness of the
night. Your men will not be able to
distinguish their own comrades"
al have thought of all that. ! will
make my men pull their shirt-tails out
and march in; they will know one
another them
General Lee walked back and forth
for some time, deeply engaged in
thought. Finally he said
General jackson, | can not agree to
your proposition the slaughter would
be horrible, and my conscience can not
approve of it,"
"My conscience approves of it thor
Oughly," said jackson. ''War is war (;
the slaughter to-day has been horrible,
and would have been worse had the
enemy gained those heights. The enc
my is in "A trap and we should take adj
vantage of it. If the tables were turn
ed they would march in on us"
And at this very time" said a Union
officer to me last April, "we were get
ting out of that place as fast as men
could be got over one bridge. We

were looking every minute for the
Confederate troops to rush in upon us;
and if they had done so we would have
been utterly ruined. POpe's army,
when Jackson got behind him, was at
picnic compared to our situation
that night" And when | told him of
Jaekson's plan for enabling his troops
to know their comrades, he said ga

who ever lived who would have

We would respectfully invite attention To the
above paint which we are now Introducing in st.
JOhnsbury and vicinity. This claim is the most
perfect roofing paint ever invented it fully com
bines durability beauty and preventative quail
ties Our paint thoroughly penetrates the exposed
parts of the shingles and still leaves thick glossy
coating the surface; thus forming a perfectly
waterproof covering, which, by excluding the
moisture from the roof, not only prevents all leak
age but preserves the shingles almost indefinitely.
Moreover from it's incombustible nature it gives a
practically reprOOf roof, and thus often prevents
the destruction of the entire building.
Samples of this paint can be ON Mr.. Bailey $
buildings at SOuth Park, and also on the buildings
of G.. II. Marshall and DIR. Smith. We should be
pleased to have all that can cal and fully examine
our paint as we have an article that is worthy of
their careful consideration at least. This is no
spurious anCiful invention but a genuine al ii
ce whose qualities have already been fully tested
and its merits proved by years of actual trial.
We have testimonials from nearly all parts of
New England but add but a few below on ac-
count of space.
