General jackson, after reaching Har-

Conrad's store and went into camp in
Elk Run Valley. He WAS not equal ia
fighting Banks in the open country be-
tween HaFrisonburg and Staunton, but
In this position, would be a constant
threat to the safety sof that General.
With Banks advancing up the Valley,
Milroy at Mcdowell, and Fremont NOV
ing UP the South Branch Valley, it
seemed that Staunton was doomed.
General Ewell was encamped on the
Upper Rappahannock with 5000 men.
General Edward johnson, with Brig
ade, had marched back to within q few
miles Of Staunton. General Lee, who
had been appointed to the command of
the Armies in Virginia, wrote General
Jackson that McDowell's advance to
Fredericksburg was serious menace
to Richmond, augmenting McClellan's
available force by 40. 900 troops. He
authorized General jackson to use
General Eweil's division in an attack on
Banks in order to relieve the pressure
on the Capitol. jackson ordered Ewell
to move to Stannardsville. He wrote
to General Lee that by combining the
TWO forces, he hoped to fall on Banks.
Lee replied giving him full discretion,
saying he was not competent, at so
great distance, to direct operations
depending ON circumstances unknown
to him, but advising him when he dealt
blow, it should be sudden and heavy.

Jackson's Maxims Of War.

- =
jackson adopted as his maxims of
war Ito mystify, mislead and surprise
your enemy; after he has been defeat
ed. to pursue him with the utmost Wig
or and as long as the endurance of the
troops held out. To infict the greatest
damage possible upon the defeated foe.
Never to attack an enemy having SUI
perior forces, if it can be avoided. but
to defeat him in detail, bringing al
ways larger numbers to bear upon an
inferior force.
He successfully applied these maxims
in the coming operations. The cana
paign that Jackson was about to begin
was his own. He conceived the strategy
employed and executed it with his own
tactics Afterwards he remained in a
position subordinate to General Lee,
and it follows therefore that his fame
as great soldier must rest mainly up
on his. performance here. jackson,
who had mapped out his famous Val
ley campaign. proceeded Immediately to
Its execution.
