A Northern Wow Of Stonewan Jackson
Written During War.
presbyterian Standard.)


Through the kindness of Mrs. Stone
wall Jackson we are able to give our
readers an editorial Oh the death of
Stonewall Jackson" written by a
Northern man, May 20, 1868. When
we remember the bitterness OF feeling
on both sides at that time, the kind
spirit of this editorial speaks much for
the man who wrote it and much for
the man of whom it was written.-Ed.
Sth November, 1913.

Ihe careers and death Of such men
are not without their influence even

not be otherwise We may dcplorc

resist the effect Of their exalted CON
ceptlons of what they believed to be

sympathetic chord running through the
human race, which often EFFORTS our

North are glad that powerful foe of

is a credit to them that they would

The only Improvement that can be

Death Of Stonewall Jackson-Editor.
1al by Asa Mcfarland in "New
Hampshire Statesman"
(AIay %, 1862

The people of Virginia are mourn
ing as they rarely if ever did for any
other inhabitant of that common
wealth, the death of Stonewall Jack
son. His name, as most readers may
DC aware. was Thomas j. Jackson.
The prefix so generally used indicat-
ed one of the features Of his mind
inilexibility OF purpose. TO that
were added other desirable attributes
by which men acquire influence over
others, and are long and affcctionate-
~ remembered when they are gone.
Jackson was a remarkable person;
and his death is the subject OF regret
among other people than those in re-
volt. The Albany Journal expressed
In one line the feeling of loyal peo-
pie, when it said: eve hoped for his
capture-not his DEATH"
The deceased general was one of
those who, in seasons of peril, throw
every impulse Of their souls into the
public service. He went into tho re-
bcllion with the same unquenchable
zeal, the same transfixed, immutable
purpose, that animated Robcspierrc
and st. Just in the first French Revo-
luton. Indeed, Jackson was the St
Just OF the rebellion, with this es-
sential difference, that Jackson cher
ished the most profound religious con-
victions. He believed in Providence as
made known in revelation. He be-
lieved that human affairs are controll-
ed by an Almighty Being-not as a
fatalist or deist' believes, but that
God employs human agents to carry
into effect many OF his own designs.
TO in exibility Of purpose and pro-
found religious convictions were add
ed the most disinterested purposes and
the most heroic courage. His zeal was
clear and constant as the light Of a
neVcr-obscured star: In all stages Of
the rebellion, his whole soul was alb
sorbed in It, He went into the strug-
gle utterly irrespective Of personal
consequences He never, it is said,
manifested mercenary purpose, and
was as fearless as lion, although
docile as a child. His camp-alas!
how unlike the camps OF many gen
erals!-was a place where prayer and
praise mingled on the altar; a camp
whence he went forth to cares and
