Jackson's belief in the matter of ab-

order" said a Confederate veteran,
II have heard a story told of an Incl
dent that occurred during the Mexican
war. Gen. Jackson was then a lieu
tenant of artillery, commanding a
section composed of two guns. In
certain action he was ordered to
occupy a certain position and open
fire upon ths. enemy. His two guns
were started for the place, which was
very exposed, and before reaching it
he saw that he could not remain there
ten minutes without losing every
horse and man he had. At the same
time he saw the by moving some 300
yards away his fire would be more
effective. But his orders to open fire
must be obeyed, SO reaching
the designated position, the two
guns were fired. Then they were
limbered up and moved to the new
position, and fire was opened in earn
est and with effect"
