IAcKsoN,s MORTAL WOUND.

In another column we PRINT a
statement made by Maj. Marcellus
Moorman of Lynchburg, who was
an eyewitness of the tragedy that
ended the life of probably the
greatest military genius of the
worlds history. Beyond question
if Providence had spared the life
of Stonewall Jackson the map OF
the United States would have been
changed.
Anything about this man, espec-
tally his sad ending, will interest
the old readers of THE GAZETTE, as
it was their privilege to have
known him in the flesh.
1t is fortunate that such a valua-
BILE contribution to history has been
secured. 1t is the first time that
an account Of how he received his
mortal wound has appeared from
an eve witness. The thanks OF all
loyal Southerners are due to Maj
Marcellus Norman of Lynchburg,
for his contribution of this impor-
tant incident; and to Rev. X. M.
futile, now of Lexington, for his
painstaking labor in preparing the
same for publication.

A PARALLEL.

The heroism Of the Beers OF South
Africa in war was an exhibition
of courage, fortitude and endur'
ance, that has scarcely been equal
ed in history, unless we cite the
American COnfederates of l88l-5.
The world has now an opportunity
to witness the reyerent and digni-
fed spirit with which they accept
peace. There is something very
noble and touching in the address
of Acting President Schalkburger
and General BOtha addressed to
their "fellow-brethren and fellow
men" urging them to accept Great
Britain's terms of peace. 1t strik-
ingly reminds one of General Lees
farewell address at Appomattox.
In the opening passage it says:
eve heartily thank you for your
heroism, for your sacrifice of so
much that was dear and beloved
by you, for your obedience and for
your faithful discharge OF duty, all
of which serves the glory OF the
Afrikander people. We counsel
YOU all to aequiesce in this peace,
to conduct yourselves quietly and
peacefully, and to obey and respect
the new government"
There is no vain bOasting of
valor, no bewailing of their fate,
no bitter resentment, no menacing
hints of future hOstilities. The
letter gives statement of the pro-
visions made for the widows and
orphans of the war, for whom the
Boer leaders "pray God to give
them strength to bear their cross"
and closes with these lofty sem
fences:
Nov there is peace, and al
though not the peace such as we
IOnged for, yet let us abide where
God has led us. We can with clear
conscience declare that for two and
a half years our people carried on
the struggle in a manner almost
unknown in history. Let us grasp
each Others hands, for another
great struggle lies before us for the
spiritual and social prosperity and
welfare of our people. Casting
aside all feelings of bitterness, let
us learn to forget and forgive, so
that the deep wounds caused by
this war may be healed
Truly these Beers are wonder
full people. Great Britain will do
we'll for herself in making smooth
and even the the pathway to their
complete reconciliation and absorp-
ton into the empire. May they
prove as loyal to their forced gov
eminent az the Confederates
have to the United States govern
msnt, and they will deserve and Sc
cure the sympathy and praise of
the enlightened world.

was their gravity, that the amputa-
ton of the left arm was found abso-
lutely necessary. Accordingly, that
arm, which had been raised aloft in
victorious battle, was most skilfully
removed from the sufferers body, but
with the voeful result long known to
the world, and never to be forgotten
in the ages to come.
ut is indeed true, that General
Jackson's injuries were inflicted, I'M
Willingly, by men who loved and
idolized him; but let the circumstan-
ces forever be remembered in exonera-
ton of these brave North Carolina
Confederates. Remember, they were
in strange forest, dense. and tangled
remember, also, it was night, and
that, owing to the thick foliage, the
darkness was intense-and, finally,
remember, there was more or less
confusion in the ranks, occasioned by
the withdrawal of Rodes' and Col
ston' divisions from the advance line,
and the moving up of Hills division
to take their places, the woods being
swept by the enemy's guns most of
the time"
1t should be noted here, that Major
Norman was not only an eyewitness
of what he tells us, and himself had
Jackson removed from the litter to
the ambulance, but that he had con
ferences, after the war, with General
Lane and Major Jed Hotchkiss in
regard to the matter.
He, also, has in his possession, let
tiers on the subject from the same
officers, whose views agree fully with
his statements, now published for the
first time,
Let me say, in conclusion, that |
wrote out from memory Major Moor
mans address at the Chapel, and
sent him copy for correction. In
return, he favored me with the facts
written out in detail, and these !
have given in the foregoing para

his own words. | have omitted in
