WI9F AND THE FEDERAL GENERAL JOHN A. DIX. 1 - A epicy correspondence bas recently appeared between Gi-n. Wise and Gen,' John A. Dix, the Federal commandant at Fortress Monroe, in re lation to the Lunatic Asylum at Williamsburg Dit's letter" is dated Fortress Monroe, April 28 In this letter he proceeds to inform Geo. Wise that the town of Williamsburg has been occupied by the troops under hisjcommand as a picket'ita- tion. or outpost to Yorktown, and that a large por tion of the inhabitants of the town are known to be well-disposed to the Government of the United States. Nevertheless, thecondescension of his Gov ernment has prevented thenTfrom being molested while quietly pursuing their domestic avocations, and they have been permitted to procure supplies at Yorktown-ahd Fortress Monroe. He refers to the fact that the Insanu Asylum hss been placed in charge of an army surgeon, and its three hun dred helpless inmates supplied with everything necissaay to their comfort, ajjd with the remedial treatment they reqelred, at the expense of the United States. In speaking of the successful at tacks of Gen. Wise's troops upon his forces, bji which the latter were twice driven out of the . .a a. 1 - - M town, he characterizes tnem as "raias -ana, under the peculiar circumstances, in violation or of eveafy dictate ol bumanity. ue says ne nas directed Major- General Keyes to re-ocoupy the fown, and gives Gen.

You have declined all response to tho qtieitton whether youa forces wonld or wpuld not molest thcj necessary men and means of. conducting the operations of the Asylum in case it was held by the fitate authorities, and the town by the Confederate forces. Why not yield both to bumanity and rWitv. and let the insane be treated by their own 'kith and kin."- You are to them aliens andne mies.andthey know it. You can practice no pathol gy upon them ; they want no army physic no physic of yours of any kind. Is it that you want, becauee you know we are not prepared to get at your forces, except through Williamsburg, and that by holding up the "three hundrd helpleis ones." there in your front, you hope to be spared from attack ? If such be the use you make of the insan if that be the reason why you feed them with army rations and physio them by an army surgeon, and if such be the reason why you put in the plea of feeding them against attack then your aaintlv cowardice will surely be cursed, not by at tack but by every defence in our might and main, of Williamsburg, and. its inhabitants.and its Asy lumsrand its inmates.

You are "belonging to a regularly organized corps," and you "are found rising in arms against the sovereignty oi Virginia in her own limits. This distinction, you may think, will save you if captured. But, General, if you dare, against all law, as you threaten, to put to death any citizen of Williamsburg, this distinction shall not save you if you happen ever to fall into my hands.

They ere a no.blle body of men." jj8 waa dPly affected by Gen. Paxton's death. His mind ran very much on the Bible and re figious topics. He inquired of Lieut. S., a The ological student on his staff, whether they had ever debated in the Seminary the question, whether thn.a who were miraculously cured by , Jesus ever bad a return oi tue ai3eaje. -i. uu wiu, he said, "they could liavo returned, for the power was too great.

He endeavored to cheer those who werearouna him No'.icing the sadness of his beloved wife, he said to her tenderly, "I know you would glad. ly g" yUT for me but 1 ftm Perfectly re signei. Do not be sad I hopo I shall recover. Pray for me, Dut ai ways rememoer in your pr or to use the petition, thy will be done." Those who were around him noticed a remarkable develop ment of tenderness in his manner and feelings du ring his illness, iha was a beautilul mellowing of that iron sternness and impurturbable calm that characterized him in his military operations. Ad vising his wife, in the event of his death, to return to her fatl er's house, he remarked, "you have a kind and good father. But there is no one so kind as your Heavenly Father." When she told him the doctors did not think he could live two hours, although, he did not expect himself to die, he re plied, "It will be infinite gain to be translated to Heaven, and be with Je3us." He then said he had much to Bay to her, but wa3 too weak. He had always desired to die, if it were God's will, on the Sabbath, and seemed to greet its light that day with peculiar pleasure, saying, with evident delight, "it is the Lord's day ; " and in quired anxiously what provision had been made for preaching to the army ; and having ascertain ed that arrangements were made he was Con'ent aA. Delirium, which occasionally manifested it self during the last two days, prevented some of . . - - ... i2.i. ..u u . the utterances oi nis laiin, wmcu wwum umomw havo doubtless been made.

"letl Major nawas to send forward provisions to the men," "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the-6hade of the trees" until at. last his gallant spirit gently pass ed 07er the dark river, and entered on its rest where the tree of life is blooming beside the crys tal river in the better country. , Thus has passed away, this high-souled, heroic man, falling like Sidney and Hampden in the be ginning of the struggle to which his life was de voted, bequeathing to those who survive him a name and memory that through God may com pensate for his early and, to us apparently, un timely fall. A .little child of .the family, when the rrnro waa dviner. was taunted with Jackson's wound by some of the prisoners who were collected there awaiting transportation. "Wo have hun dred Jackson's left if he does die," was the heroic reply of the child. And fo we trust it will b. The spirit of Jackson will be breathed into a thou sand hearts which-will emulate his bravery, and -ek to make up for his loss, and rn the end his memory and glory, his holy life, his manly piety aud bis glorious death may be a richer blessing to us than ii bis life had been spared. He has shown the way to victory; and we trust that many a gallant spirit will come forward eagerly to tread it, and that our dead hero shall be worth to ui more than a boat of living ones. It will be if we copy bis piety as well as his bravery, and like him cherish that feeling that he so strikingly expressed as be piced his tent before the battle, "My trust is in God I wish ihey would come on.V nroTDTnT xw a t ol' .mitiA Wt nt and includlne said counties, and in said District the prioes shall be as follows : . - ' . -- B. - Corn, Meal, Baeon, Wheat, Flour, Oats, baled, " unbaled, " cleaned, Peas, .Bay and Fodder, Rice, cleaned, Salt, o.. .
