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?. I , . . . ... The Thermometer.

Viewed his own feather hi4.he fatal dart, And winged the shaft that quivered lu his heart." ! 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.

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.
