CEN BEE AND sToNEWALL JACKSON.
Conclusive Facts "a 10 the Real Origin OF
the Famous Soubriquct.

1 To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
In the February number OF the Cen
fury Magazine Is an article entitled, ''rhe
Real Stonew.dl Jackson" by Gl,s.al L.
! II I'M. in VIII h occurs tie following
/ stat ,ment:
"a Icttcr-writer from the field Of the
First Manassas gave Jackson the cogno-
r,e., OF SDncv all. and told a very Drettj
story about Gcrera. Zee point. & Ga hin
and covtug: There stands Jackson like
stone wall Not only was the tale a
mere fabrication, but the name was inc
last suited 70 Jackson, who was ever IN
motion. swoOping Ike an eagle on ms
prey" ,.,, -
correct IN asserting that tho whole story
v.ae a sheer fabrication" The reason
too,over. with which he holsters up his
assertion e.cms very lame and incon-
elusive. 8, 3.
Undoubtedly the name Stonewan, II
taken no a fun description Of Jackson
proat qualities as a commander, was
,.ross MISSIONER. We all know that when
acting on the offensive he fell Ike
thunGcrbolt on his foe. But we know
iugt as well that when on the defensive
H. stood firm as rock against every as
eault He was 50 standing at the very
moment when General Bee IL SAID 10 nave
uttered those words. The Federal forces
y..re driving before them the Confode-
rate left when The gitterlng bayonets or
IocksDu's brigade. now coming on the
feld and its undaunt"d front. gave fresh
courare 10 the southern lines and checked
tho cnnmys advance The time had not
come for that decisive charge when
was 10 pierce the Federal centre; ana
General Bee. struck by the boldness or
Jacks1n's men as they bore up against
the tide of battle may well have uttered
The words which history has put in his
mouth. They express exactly the thought
which must at that moment have iioated
through his mind.
As TO THE FACT.
50 much for.Gcneral Hnl's reason. Ana
now. MS 20 The matter Of fact. find II
hard 10 cliove that tho tale WAS n "fabrl-
cation" and my reasons are these:
In tfa first place. it IS quite improbable
that such an incident 50 natural, so
easily disprovcd If false. should have been
invented. There must have been some
thing 10 give the story n start TO gain
for ir cn.dcnCc in the beginning. The
story was published Immediately after the
battle. If General Bee never uttered
those words the men who fought under
him would surely have said So and that
would have nippod the story in the bud.
In the next place. General Jackson him
s.if. if We can trust his biography, de-
clai.d on his dcath-bcd that the name
Stoncwan ala not belong TO him, but
10 his brigade. liz would hardly have
advanced such claim had he not known,
or at least had good reason 60 believe
that IL ros-d on a firm foundation.
