stonewaH Jackson,s Courtesy.

When Harper's Ferry surrendered to
"Stonewall" jackson in September, 1869,
General Jackson halted his horse in front
of the Ninth Vermont, and, taking Off his
hat, solemnly said: "Boys, don't feel bad;
you could not help it; 1t was just as God
willed it," One of Jackson's staff asked
Colonel Stannard of the Ninth Vermont If
he "had anything to drink" Stannard
courteously handed him his flask, and the
arrogant young Confederate captain poured
out horn and mockingly said: "Colonel,
here is to the health of the Southern Con-
federacy." Stannard answered: "1o ask
and accept courtesy of prisoner and then
insult him is an act that an honorable sol
dier would scorn." Jackson turned ON his
staff officer and gave him severe scolding
saying the repetition of such an insult to a
prisoner would cost him his place. Then
turning to Colonel Stannard General jack
son apologized for the conduct of his OIL
Ger, saying that 1t WAS an exceptional act Of
lnsolence on the part of young and reck-
less man, and, bowing gravely, the famous
Confederate captain rode away, The fatalism
of jackson seemed eccentric, but IL was
