from persons in Richmond who have
undertaken to raise fund to erect an
equestrian statue of Stonewall Jackson.
Liberal subscriptions have been made IN
the several Counties of Virginia. and It
would seem the proper thing for Jeffer-
son couutyto subscribe to this commend
able design. This Valley was the home
of Stonewall Jackson after the Mexican
war, and it was made famous by his mar
vellous military operations. His famous
Valley Campaign, remarkable for the
gallantry of his so di=rs directed by his
great skill and genius, has given to this
section fame and reputation that will
endure forever. A large part of the
Stonewall Brigade enlisted from this Sec
ton. and it will oubtless be a privilege
tor the soldiers and the people here to
contribute as much as they may be able
to commemorate the character and repu-
tation of this great soldier. After con-
ferring with a number of the survivors
of the Stonewall Brigade, and others who
be,onged to his command. 1t was bought
best to appoint committees in different
parts of the County 10 get subscriptions
