THE STATUE ANDiTHE MAN,
stonewau Jackson's Career from His Birth
ut Clarksburg to Ills Death-In u Wrong
Cause, but a Great General.


LEXINGTON, VA, July 2l.-on the
hill range, not far above the homo of
Jackson, is the Presbyterian church
where he worshiped, and on the hilltop
in the village cemetery, is his grave; it
is marked by two plain marble slabs
and is inclosed by an iron railing.
Hardly stones throw from the church
stands the chapel, which, under the su-
pervision OF Gen. Lee, was built for col
lege services and to which, after his
death, was added the mausoleum. In
its crypt rests his remains and those OF
his wife and daughter. The upper
chamber, which contains Valentines
recumbent statue of the General, has a
tesselated floor of white marble and en-
caustic tiles with paneled walls, which
hold inches for statues of Southern gen
erals. The design was suggested to Mrs.
X. Z. Lee by a photograph OF the re.
Cumbent statues of Charlottsnburg, OF
the Emperor and Empress OF Germany,
and laid by her before the committee.
With different accessories and relations,
however, the idea, under the touch OF
Valentine, received q richness and deli
cacy OF treatment that stamps 1t with
originality. The Commander is repre-
sented asleep on his camp couch, cloth
ed In uniform and covered with an
army blanket and with one hand rest
ing on his sword.

and superintend Sabbath school for
them. In this mountain town his re-
ligious nature developed type OF char
acter similar to that which marked
Cromwell, Hampden, Havelock and
"Chinese" Gordon-a unique and de-
lightful blending Of saint and soldier.
When his soldiers passed him in battle,
sitting still on his war horse, with hand
uplifted, It was with feeling Of reyer-
ence, for they had faith in his prayers.
He was elected deacon in the Presby-
terian church. While in Lexington he
married as his first wife q daughter Of
Rev. George Zunkin, President OF Wash

Miss Morrison, Of North Carolina, who
survives him.

The Trouble Between the Militia
and the Tennessee Miners
ASSUMING A SERIOUS PHASE.
The Miners Declare that They VIII
Cease Hostilitics on the Withdrawal
of the Convict Iaborcrs---They
Pledge Themselves to Destroy no
Property and to Only Strike in Self
Defense---The Troops in Readiness
to Move.

KNOXVILLE, 1enn', Juiy E1'-AI S0ai
Creek since Sunday night until Z
o'clock this morning the telegrah wires
have been in the hands of the miners
and nothing has been sent ont except
such as they allowed the operator to
send.
Last night and this morning there
were rumors that large military force
coming to reinstate the convicts, but
no one here knows the truth. There is
much concern. There is great hatred
of Gov. Buchanan and threats are open
ly made that 1t will not do for him TO
return here. Owing to the fact that the
Telegraph office is in the possession OF
the miners it is difficult to obtain
prompt and accurate reports from the
seat OF trouble.
A Coal Creek special 70 the Banner
says: 1t is reported here that Governor
Buchanan has called on the Governor
Of Georgia for two companies Of infantry
and two cars of artillery, with gatling
guns. Sheriff Rutherford, OF this coun-
ty, who is charged with having called
on the Governor for troops in the first
instance, is reported to have fled the
county. Superintendent Goodwin, who
had charge OF convicts here, is also said
to have left in hot haste.
At noon the troops were still waiting
orders to proceed to Briceville. Four
hundred soldiers have just arrived from
Memphis and Nashville, which, together
with those already here, twill proceed to
the scene OF the trouble this evening.
A conflict and a bloody strife seems al
most unavoidable.

GOOD ADVICE.

During the miners meeting to-day
there was some talk of troops coming to
arrest the leaders in the attack on the
convicts. One miner, a gray-bearded
man by the name Of Moore, who is on
the committee, advised the men not to
intentionally go where they could be ar
rested, but II caught not to resist, sim
ply submit to arrest and go before ajury
for trial. He said he did not fear but
that all would be acquitted on trial by
Committeeman Pickering says no at
tack would have been made on the
troops yesterday if they had thought
there would have been bloodshed. He
says they had been given to understand
by the militia that they wouldnot resist
II attacked. He says the reason the
attack was made was that telegram
was received from the Kentucky side at
Kellico offering, a large number OF mon
in case help was needed.

AWAITING ORDERS.

The latest news is that the mine trou.
BILE is in statu quo and the end no one
can see. The 500 militia mentioned in
last nights dispatches have arrived and
are now in camp at the University ol
Tennessee. Brigadier General Carnes,
of Memphis, is in command and he says
that he is simply waiting orders from
Governor Buchanan. The constitution
and laws OF Tennessee are peculiar and
anomalous. The governor of the State
is in doubt as to whether he can order
out the military legally and it is
sure that he can't 'proclaim martial
law throughout the mining region.
To endeavor to proceed against
the miners, civilly, would be folly, as
the sympathy Of all classes is with the
miners, and conviction would be almost
impossible. After the quiet but deter
mined mob of miners had done its
work yesterday, and the conyicts and
militia had been sent OFF to Knoxville,
the visiting miners left for home, and
the Coal Greek valley was soon as quiet
as country village on Sunday. This
morning about five hundred miners
from Jellico, Newcomb, Coal Creek and
BriCeville started on foot across the
mountains for Oliver Springs, mining
town on the Walden's Ridge railroad,
which connects the Knoxville 4 Ohio
road with the Cincinnati Southern.
TUE MINERS POSITION.
The roads are very rugged and the
distance across the country about 16
miles. The miners arrived in 0livers
about noon and Immediately meeting
of local and visiting miners was held,
which was in session until . o'clock p. m.
A resolution was unanimously passed
TO appoint committee OF five TO go to
Knoxville and Nashville, il necessary,
to confer with Governor Buchanan and
arbitrate the present difficulties.
The men said they simply wanted the
convicts sent away, and nothing more
or less.
A resolution was also unanimously
passed that each man pledge himself on
his honor that not one dollars worth
OF property would be destroyed, and the
companvs property should be guarded.
1t was further determined that no one
should offer violence to any one except
in self defence. There is n sense OF re-
lief and quiet since the meeting. The
miners seem to feel that they are now
taking the proper course.
The men are as determined as ever
that no convicts shall work here and
say they will release all who come just
as soon as the troops leave.

VETERANS BANQUET.
Brilliant Gathering of Military and
Civic NotabIea.

BRILLIANT Gathering OF M ultary ano
Civic NOtables.
CHICAGO, Oct. S.-The meeting of the
Army of the Tennessee closed tonight
with a magnificent banquet. General
Granville M. Dodge, of Iowa, successor
of General Sherman, as president of the
society, General Miles, General Gres-
ham and other celebrated men were con-
spicuous while such notables as Henry
Watterson, Joseph Medill and James
Whitcomb Riley marked the civic inn
portance of the occasion.
General Horace Porter, of New York,
responded eloquently to The Memory OF
General Grant.
Henry Watterson's toast was The War
is Over, Let us Have Peace, and his
words aroused perfect tumult of enthu-
siasm. Mr.. Watterson warmly eulogized
General Grant and in closing said !:
Realizing the truth at last, with no
wounds to be healed and no stings of
defeat to remember, the south says to
the north, as simply and truly as was
said 5000 years ago in the far away
meadow upon the margin of the mystic
sea: Thy people shall be my people
and thy God my Cod"
Hon. Joseph Medill responded to
'The loyal press in the war for the
union"
Secretary of the Interior Noble dis
cussed eloquently "The rewards of
patriotism" causing profound i'm
preston.
A number of other addresses were
made.
The veterans of the societies of the
Armies of the Tennessee, the Potomac
and the Cumberland, and General Miles
and staff this afternoon paid their re-
spects to Mrs. General Grant at the
residence of Mrs. Potter Palmer. The
pathos of the gathering was evident, and
the affair was one Of the most striking
Witnessed in Chicago for many day.

"The only thing you farmers need now,
is to find some fellow to pay you that. !"
[Great laughter and applause.
At the conclusion of the joint debate
the speakers were taken in carriage
and under the escort OF the various
marching clubs, driven through the
city, amidst the booming of cannons and
the music of bands.

LONDON, Oct. Sit has now been de-
cided that the funeral services ol
Parnell will be held at Glaseneven, a
village a short distance from Dublin,
Sunday next. The body will arrive in
Dublin Sunday morning. 1t will be
taken in state to the city hall, and the
funeral will proceed from there.
DIR. Covers, when asked the reason
for post mortem examination, said it
is to be made at the wish of physicians,
and with the consent of ParneiPs
friends. 1t was not ordered. The doc
tor added that during the patients
delirium, some hours before he
died, he talked constantly of Ireland and
what he would do for her if he lived. In
brief lucid interval he said "Let my
love be conveyed to my colleagues and
the Irish people,"
Late tonight the physicians decided
not to hold the proposed post mortem
examination. The remains have under
gone rapid change, so rapid, indeed,
that it has been found advisable to close
ligious ceremony here.
THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH.
DR.. Covers, jr., and DR.. William
Richard Covers, f. R. S., both of whom
were in attendance upon Parnell during
his last sickness, says his death was due
to acute rheumatism and congestion OF
the lungs.
CAPTAIN o'SHEA INTERVIEWED.
During an interview today Captain
O'Shea declined to allude to personal
matters. Regarding political issues, he
thought the death of Parnell was appar-
emily disadvantage to the Unionists,
but ultimately would result In the re-
union of the Irish home rulers. "At
the last conversation but one
that l ever had with Parnell,
he assented with obvious pleas
ure to my suggestion that among
his political friends the falsest was
Dillon, the lowest Healy and I. p.
O'Connor, and the most contemplate
Justin Mccarthy. Parnell was never a
man of ideas. He was not an original
mind, but he was the most skillful
assimilator of others ideas that ever
met"

REDMOND THE NEW LEADER.
At meeting of the Parnellite party,
resolution calling John Redmond to
assume the leadership of the party, was
passed. Resolutions of deep regret at
the death of Parnell were also unanl-
mously adopted. Most of the stores
throughout the leading towns OF Ireland
are closed. Timothy Harrington and
other prominent members of the Parnell-
ite party refuse to discuss the political
situation at present.

On Saturday evening Inst some sixty
friends and neighborN met at the
house OF James Brown near st. james
Church, MIA Greek Hundred, and after
q brief conference proceeded to the
house OF Edwin Wollaston, In order to
make memorable tn Saith annlver-
sary OF his birth. Mr.. Wollaston was
taken completely by surprise by the
advanced guard, and being clad In his
ordinary garb beat q hasty retreat to
the yard. and from thence by way OF
the kitchen roof to his chamber, from
whence he soon appeared In change
OF clothing more betting the occas on.
The way that he clanibreed over THAT
ancient roof that sheltered his ances-
tors for two hundred and twenty
seven years, suggested to many OF his
friends that perhaps he had been there
before In his youthful days before he
had sown his wild oats, and settled
down to the easy going ways Of
matrimonial life.
The comp my were treated to some
excellent music, after which games
were played until supper was an
nounced. The repast prepared under
the careful snpervislon OF Mrs. VOL
laston and her amiable daughter Anna,
was heartily enjoyed by all, and at a
late hour the guests departed wishing
Mr.. Wollaston long life and eontinu-
cd prosperity. ~

and useful presents. which will be pre-
served among the heirlooms OF the
