DEATH OF sToNEwALL JACKSON
TTagio End of Confederate Leader,
Slain by His Own Men.
(Long ROll.)

The moon was coming up. She
silvered the Wilderness about Dow
dalps Tavern. She made a pallor
around the group Of staff and field
officers gathered beside the road. Her
light glinted on Stonewall Jackson s
sabre and on the worn braid of the
old forage cap.
The clamor about Charlottesville,
where, in not haste, Hooker made
dispositions, streamed east and west
meeting and blending westward with
a like distraction of forming COM
maDds, of battle lines made in the
darkness, among thiCkets. The moon
was high, but not observed. Behind
Corps, two aides and several cou-
riers, Jackson rode along the plank
road.
There was a regiment drawn across
the road and in the woods on either
hand. In places in the Wilderness the
scrub that fearfully burned the next
day and the next was even now afire,
and gave. though uncertainty and
dimly, a certain illumination. BY it
the regiment was perceived. 1t
seemed composed Of tall and shadowy
men. what troops are these" ask

AS he passed the regiment started
to cheer. He shook his head.
'Dont, men. We want quiet now. "
A very few hundred yards from Chan
cellorsville he checked Littl, Sorrel.
The horse stood, fore feet Llanted.
Horse and rider they stood and lis
tened. Hooker's reserves were up.
About the Chancellor House, on the
charlottesville Ridge, they were
throwing up intrenchmcnts. They
were digging the earth with bayo-
nets, they were heaping it up with
their hands.
Turning Little Sorrel. he rode back
along the plank road toward his own
lines. The light of the burning
brush had sunken. The cannon smoke
floating in the air, the very thick
woods, made all things obscure.
Stonewall Jackson came toward
the Carolnians. He rode quickly
past the dark shell of house sunken
among the pines. There were with
him seven or eight persons. The
horses hoofs made a trampling on

across the road, emptied several sad
dies. Stonewall Jackson. the aides
and Wilbourne wheeled to the left,
dug spur and would have plunged
into the road. "Fire," said the Car
olinians. dressed to the left of the
road, and fired.
Little Sorrel, maddened, dashed
into the wood. An oak bow struck
his rider, almost bearing him from
the saddle. With his right hand,
from which the blood was streaming,
in which a bullet was imbedded, he
caught the bride, managed to turn
the agonized brute into the road
again. There seemed a wild sound,
a confusion Of voices. Some one had
stopped the firing. "My God, men!
You are firing into u.s." In the road
were the aides. They caught the rein,
stopped the horse. Wilbourne put
up his arms. General. General,
You are not hurt? Hold there! Nor
rison-Leigh!"
They laid him on the ground be-
meath the pines and they fred the
brushwood for a light. One rode off
for DR.. Mcclure and another with
penknife cut away the sleeve from
the left arm, through which had gone
two bullets. 4 mounted man came
at gallop and threw himself from

General, General! You are not
much hurt?"
"Yes, think | am" said Stone
wall Jackson. And my wounds are
from my own men"
The aides lifted the wounded
General. "NO one" said Hill. must
tell the troops who was wounded"
The other opened his eyes. Tell
them simply that you have a wound

mand now. Press right on"

and Stonewall Jackson was laid upon

1T tilted. The General fell heavily
to the ground, injuring afresh the
wounded limb, striking and bruising
the side. They raised him, pale now
and silent, and at last they struggled
through the wood to a little clearing.
On May 9Th Stonewall Jackson
was carefully moved from the Will
derness to Guiney's Station. Here
was a large old residence---the Chan
dler house-within sweep of grass
and trees; about it one or two small
buildings. The great house was
