the day that was to prove so eventful in
the future history of the Southern Con
federacy ? For on this day, or j rather tjhe
night of this day, fourteen years ago, the
Napoleon of America, the great, the im
mortal Stonewall. Jackson, received the
wound which carried him "over the river
taut some two lor three miles from the
Wilderness Church. 1 'Twaa here that Jeb
Stuart, in this on battle, won more re
new n for h i mse) f than all he ever d id i n
all of his cavalry battles. Generals Jack
son and A. P. liill having been wounded
the night before, the command of the
Second Carps devolved upon Gcri. Stuart
and right well did he command it. The
way he handled his artillery was superb.
The enemy's works were charged the next
morning by sunrise and carried, but owing
to some mismanagement the troops were
the enemy's position, and on
noi sauce, a3 he passed our
to rest undertlio shade of tbc tree." and j not pt iu exactly as directed and the
enemy executed a flank movement which
caused the extreme right of Trimble's
Division, commanded by Colston, to fall
back temporarily; and it was right here
that the gallant Ramseur executed the
brilliant movement of changing front in
the face of the enemy, so as to meet their
attack, which gave Colston time to re
form, when the Tar Ucsls of Trimble's
Division again dashed forward with a yell
recapturing the works, and driving the
uemy over two sets of fortifications clear
back to the Chancellor House.
These two battles were certainly the
most brilliant of the whol$ war; Long
stieet was down on the Peninsular aud
Jackson, with only his corps and Early's
Division, defeated Hooker's entire army of
over 100,000 men. The battle of Chan
cellorsville has justly been regarded as the
moxt brilliant of Jackson's many achieve
ments. Gen. Lee, in his dispatch of co'uloleucc
upon I hearing of his able Lieutenant's
misfortune, said: "I congratulate you
upon the victory due entirely to your skill
and energy.' Consequently, it was Jack
son who planned, it was Jackson who
fought, and it was Jackson who won the
glorious victory at Chancellorsvilli?.

The Eighteenth North Carolina Infan
try, under command of, the lamented
Purdie, carrying out the instructions of
General Jackson himself, fired the fatal
volley into the cavalcade as they came re
treating precipitately from the enemy's
lines. It was Gen. Jackson's custom to
always make a rccouuoisancc!in perso of
j this .rccoh
butposts. he
gave instructions to Col. Purdie's com
manding the 'picket s, to look; out and be
prepared for a' cavalry charge, as he
thought thceneiiiy would attempt same
thing of the kind, in order (to penetrate
our designs, and then passed on to nVake
his reconnoisance, but the enemy, discov
ering Jackson and his staff, fired upon
them. This caused them to.rctrcat rather
hastilyand, as they came galloping back
to our lines, the gallant Purdie recollect
ing only Gen. Jackson's instructions about
'a cavalry charge, and not being, able to
recognize any one in Use dark, gave the
command to Jirc This brought Gen.
Jackson to the ground , A. P. Hill and one
or two of the staff also. The mistake was
discovered immediately, but alas ! too late,
Jackson had .received the wound - which
was to Cause his death. The wounded
Generals were taken from, the field to the
hospital at once, and such was the great
secrecy preserved ' that the mi&Htuiie

Ingenuous Counterfeit coin De

currency afloat, and a great deal that is
counterfeit. Some of. the latter is ad
mirably executed, and silvered over so
that' neither eye nor lingers can defect
the fraud. It rings Hat, however. -An
automatic coin detector ik out, of meat
ingenuity, and unfailing accuracy.. Its
principle is based on the fact that' if
the counterfeit coin is the same size 'and
thickness as tliej genuine it is lighter ;'df
it is the same .weight, it is necessarily
larger or thicker than the genuine.
When you drop the counterfeit coin
mto the detector, therefore, if it slides,
through the little slit prepared lor it,
it will not tip the scale. If it tips the
scale it will" not slide through the slit.
If it both slides through the slit and tips
the scale, it is genuine
