INTERESTING LETTER.

Dr. G. W. Blanton has received an
Interesting letter from his son, Jake
Blant0n, who left a few weeks ago for
Panama, having been assigned there
for duty in the engineering depart
ment. Ills letter is interesting indeed.
- it tells OF many things which are
aow going on in Panama. It is i'm

the following extracts will be found
OF interest:

Of Panama last Sunay and saw lots OF

STONEWALL JACKSON.
A Born Soldier Who Fought For
Principle.

Fifty years ago tonight there fell
mortally wounded at Charlottesville
one of the great captains of the
English-speaking races.
Lee, who called Stonewall Jackson
his strong right arm, once said that
he would have won Gettysburg if
Jackson had been there. Besthat
as it may, the almost uninterrupted
victories of the army of Northern
Virginia ended when Jackson passed
away. Charlottesville marked the
food-tide of the Confederate arms.
Two months later came Gettysburg,
and from thence on to Appomattox
Lees forces, despite all their mar
velous courage and tenacity, were
never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military history
is unique. Most great regulations
were made by long years of service.
His career was compressed into
scanty % months, from that day in
July, 1861, when Bee pointed to him
standing like stone wall" at Bull
Run, to the early May day in 1863
when he marched his corps around
the front of Hooker's army, smashed
in its right flank and gave the Con-
federacy its most brilliant victory, on
ly to fall from the fire of his own men.
A terrible partnership was that be-
tween the Cavalier and the Puritan;
between Lee, who embodied the
chivalry of Virginia, and Jackson,
who was direct spiritual descend
ant of the men that fought with
Cromwell at Naseby. In all crises
the two men seemed to fight with a
single brain and a single purpose,
destitute alike of the jealousy and
intrigue that all but wrecked the
army of the Potomac.
Jackson presents strange, appeal
ing figure on the pages of history.
He was as gentle and gracious as Lee,
as silent and taciturn as Grant, as
daring and audacious as Stuart'or
Sheridan, as relentless as Sherman,
and with it all there was an intensity
of religious fervor that belonged to
the 17th century rather than the
10Th. The war to him was holy
war. He went to battle with prayer
on his lips and he went from battle
to give thanks to God who had
crowned his army with victory
Appealing from his native sod
In forma pauperis to God,
"Lay bare thine arm-stretch forth thy
rod,
Amenp' That's StonewalPs way.
Even the bullets that struck him
down he regarded as providentially
directed by a definite divine purpose.
There is no more mendacious phrase
than that of "a born soldier" but
here was a man who was beyond
question a born soldier-a SOLDIER
who hated war, who was dazzled
neither by ambition nor glory. who
fought for principle and principle
alone and whose military genius was
elemental. Peace to his ashes. A
united nation can be proud that he
was numbered among her sons

IL was assumed that the ordinary rigid

were inspired by a happy thought
which was readily appreciated and ac-
claimed by every member of the royal

strict court etiquette and Prince Ar

themselves partnered in the stately
dance.

London, July 24.-The visit of the
american schoolboys to England's
schools and colleges came to a pleasant
end yesterday with a stroll about the
classic buildings of Cambridge Uni
Nersity and tea with the vice-chancellor
IN the chapel Of Emmanuel College.
Ihey saw the memorial to John Har-
ward, and great interest was shown in
tn opportunity Of standing beneath
the mulberry tree in Christ Church
Gardens which Milton is supposed to
have planted.
The appearance. spirits and intelli-
gence Of the visitors have called forth
favorable comments wherever they
have gone. The boys felt most at home
at Rugby and most puzzled at Harrow
while Eton at once fascinated them
and then made them feel themselves
furthest from home. Winchester gave
them the most vivid impressions of
medieval history and typical English
school traditions.
The American party arrives in Hol-
land this morning and will proceed to
visit The Hague and some Of the Con-
tinental universities. spending three
weeks camping and tramping in the
