one morning, while marching with his
stan. he stopped at the door Of a farm
house. A gentle-looking woman was in
the porch with a little child at her knee,
of whom he requested a drink Of water
She promptly handed him a stone jug OF
cool and fresh water, which he quahed
like horse. one of his STAFF asked the
good woman TO give me a drink of that
water please" She empued the pitcher
upon the ground, went into the house,

Again, while marching on to some new
victory, he halted by a farmhouse,
whence a young mother came out into
the road with her young child in her

rested Garnett one of the truest and
highest gentlemen in our army. and held
him in arrest until Garnet. by personal
influence, procured a trial by court
martial. Jackson was the principal wit

was mourned throughout our army. for

While a professor Of the Virginia Mill

caused a distinguished cadet to be dis
missed for an infraction of the regula-
tons. That cadet was distinguished as
a scholar and older. lie found himself
after four years OF study and scholarly
achievements deprived of the diploma.
which was the object Of his long en-
deavor; without 1t his livelihood was i'm
perilled. He was justly outraged by such
harshness, and vowed he would castigate
Jackson. and prepared himself TO execute
that purpose. He was a powerful and
daring young man. The friends OF both
were deeply anxious. Jackson was urged
to have him bound over 10 keep the peace.
This would involve his oath that he was
in bodily fear of his enemy. He replied:
II will not do Ii, for II would be false.
do not fear him: fear no man"
Then the superintendent OF the academy
had to take the oath as required by the
law. and have the young man bound over
to peace. When the war came on Jack
son upon his own promotion to a corps,
had this young fellow made brigadier.
