satisfaction therefor. Twenty seven

After General Jackson's death the state
of Virginia determined to have made a
certain number of medals to distribute
among Jackson's Virginia troops. These
medals were made i'm France, were sent
TO Virginia about the close of our war
and for a long time were (and may be
veo stored in the basement of the Capt.
toll. Some few Of these medals found their
way among the people, and we have no
doubt the one Mr.. Blackboard describes
is one Of these DR.. Hunter Mcclure tells
US that the description of it answers per
fectlv to those he saw which came from
France.

ordinary white metal beautifully exc
cuted, two inches in diameter, and about
one sixteenth Of an inch thick. without
date. the genesis Of which l am anxious
to ascertain.
On the diverse IS: "Lieutenant-Gene-

died, 1863" On the reverse is a wreath,
with military symbols and with the Con-
federate motto "Deo Vindice" here writ
ten, VindicD. The names of Jackson's
most celebrated victories are woven in
the wreath, and the rest are inscribed in
the middle. There are twenty-five in all.
Though myself one of Jackson's men,
