Tbe dlaner wan given In memory of Stonewall Jackson, and the portrait of the famous confederate lew dvr looked down upon the gaUwring. Above this waa u portrait of General Lee, both framed In the dags ot tbe unlou aad tbe confederate camp. The toast o( l be ulght was that which derrlrd General Jackson's name and to this Dr. McGuire who extracted tba ballet from the confederate loader, ae bd 1st dying, replied. Th«re wars repealed enter* at the muie fervid period* of the doctor'* elo queot eulogy, hat tbe wildest eutbira te* m of the night occurred when be said, pointing to the K*v. J. P. Health: “This clergyman threw bloeajf lu front of Jackson’* body to receive tbe bullet aimed et the leader.” Dr. MoGulre said in pari: “1 am to apeak of Htooewall Jack eon. not le liie formative years of hit life, nor In tbe qelet of peaceful avo cation. bat aa men knaw Mm when Tbo Ore from boaveu (ell upon Inu In tbe Ualtlefleld,’ as it did upon Arthur — the fire by which Hir Launcelot knew hue for hi* king—tbe lire that, like the live oeal from off tbe alter, tonobed the lips* □( Jackaon and brought from Idem Hist kingly voice which the eagle or victory knew and obeyed. Foe a king was Slouswail Jackson, if ever royalty annotated aa bv.flte appeared among men. “In tucking to detlue Jackson'a place In history, 1 accept Lord Wolaaley's definition of a great commander. He declares, in effect, tbat tbe marks of this rare character are: First of all, tbe power—the lostlact, tbe inspire' lion—to define the condition aod tbe purpose* of your enemy. Secondly, tbo genial that la strategy lueuuily devise* tbe oombluallona moet likely to defgrtlhoae purpose*. Thirdly, the physical and moral courage—tbe ab solute self-rtllanoe—tbat takes the risk of decision, and tbe skill tbat promptly and properly delivers tbe blow that shatters the hostile plana—so manag ing One's own forces, evea when until as to have the greater number et the point of attack. Fourthly, the cool jaJgmeht that is unshaken by tbe c!**n sr.d clamor of emergencies, sad last, but not least, tbe provision—lira eeiullon—tbat caret for tbe lives aod well-being of the private soldiers, and tbe personal magnetism tbat rouse* Uie enthusiasm and affaotioii tbat make tbe commander1* presence on the battlefield the incentive to all (bat human beings nan dare, aod tbe un qsceUooed hope and sure promise of victory.' “Many Incidents of Jaekaon’e career prove that b* posse sail tbe lustmcUv* power to know the plight and to fore tell tbe purpose* of lira federal army and its ooamamtera.” Dr. McGuire then went on to tell ■Ifchy incidents of Geuvtal Jackaon on tbe battlefield, tbe most Interesting and dramatic of which were the fol lowing: At Malvern util, wlien a portion of oar army was beaten and to some ex tent demoralised. Hill end Swell and Early came to tell him that they oonld make no resistance If McClellan at tacked them In (lie morning. It Was difficult to wake General Jackson, el be waa exhausted and vary sound ealeep. £ tried it myself and after many efforts pertly suooeeded. When he was made to understand what waa wanted, be as Id, MoUlelUtn nod Ills army will be gone by dayligot, and wehf to * sleep again. The generals thought him mad, but the prvdlot>on WaS tide. At Fredericksburg, niter Burnside’s repulse, ha asked me how many baa dsges 1 bad, ( told him and asked why be wanted to kuow. He as id that be wanted to have e pleoa of wblte . elotb tolls on each man’s arm, so that his soldiers might raoogotxs esob other la a night attack; and be sated to be allowed to make such an altaok tad drive Ms foe into the swollen river or captors him; Subsequent events drriMHiitrated that lie knew the state of things WUhln tlie hostile lines, sod wroutd oeyeaaooinptlehed his purpose. General Las withheld hie cunseat, for the reason that so often restrained bim hi like eaaea; he coaid not pot st ■o fTVet risk an army whtoli tbn Moth i could not reyisoa. That Jackson possessed the seeoed and third rvqnlrvmanls-tha genius to (levies snd Ilia skill and ooaragv to da te ver the Wow needed to defeat lila fora .,.-.(V.I*.AfA ajuply proved by the gen eral fact that Ills own force In tha Valley campaign wsa never over 17,.

I cannot give you any inaUsoe* or IIIuatrations o( the mental action by wlitob be readied hie coccioiloss or daviaed Ut* combinations which de feated bis enemy; for Jackson took uo counsel eave with hla ‘fa ml liar'.the Genius of War and hla God. Ha (lid bold one, and only one, council of war. In March, 1801 at Winchester, Jack aou had 1(( hla small army leas than 5.U00 men. General Banka, who waa advancing upon WlneUeater from Har per’s Ferry and Charlretown, bad 30. 000 soldi*r*. General Jackson repeat edly offered General Binks battle, bnt the latter deolined, and on tbe night of the llth of March scut Into camp four miles from Wleoheeter. Geueral Jackson tent for hla oOoers and pro poMd to make a night attack', but the plan wa* not approved by tbe council. 11* aenl for the ofSorre a second time, some hour* later, and again urged them to agree to make tbe night aa Mult, but they again disapproved of tbe attempt, so, late iu Uie afternoon we withdrew from Wluobeeter and marched to Newton. I rode with tbe general aa we left ll>* pteee, and as we reecbcda high point overlooking the town, we both turned to look at win chester. Just evecuted and now left to the mercy of Um federal soldiers I think that a mau may eocuetlmse yield to overwhelming emotion, and I wee utterly overcome by the fact that 1 was leaving all that I held dear on o*i lli. Bat my emotion waa arraslM by on* look at .lackton. Uii faoe waa fairly biasing with the Or* that waa burning lu him, and 1 (sit awed before him. Presently he cried out with a manner almost savage: 'That I* the last council of war I will ever hold.’ And It waa—hla Oral and last. There after he held eon noil In tbe secret chamber of hla own heart, nod acted. Instantaneous decision, absolute self reliance, every sot (on, every wort dis played. Hie voice displayed tbe sharp crack of the rifle—sudden, Imperative, resolute. Jack >on always ex pooled u hold bis lines, bat waa always must dangerous ly agf reaslye. 1 beard blm ottoe sky: We sometimes (all to drive the enemy from bis position. Us always (alls to drive us. But lie waa never content witb the defensive, however successful or however exhausting. In tbs terri bly destructive battle o( SliarpeUurg tie wse looking ell of that day for a oKanos to make tbeoouoter stroke. He waa always oalm and self controlled. He never lust bis beleeos for one moment. At the First Han es se* when we reached tbe Held aod found our man under Bee and Bartow falling back—when the coufuaion waa greatest—and Bee, In despair, cried oul: ‘They ore driving us back'—item was not tbe allghteet emotion appar ent about him. His tbin lips were do in prase r d aud bis ayes were ablaze, when be curtly Mid. 'Thao, sir, we will give them the bayonet.' In the very severe engagement at Chantilly, fought daring e heavy thun der storm when tbe voles of the ar tillery of heaven ooald coarcely be dis tinguished from that of the euemy, aa aide cams up witb a message from A. I*. Hill that hla ammunition was wet aod that he asked leave to retire. 'Give my compliments to General Hill and tell hla that the yank*e ammuni tion is aa wet as bis; to slay where be is.' There was always danger and blood when be began hla terse sen tences witb 'Give my compliments.’ Jackson kosw tbe Value of the southern volunteer bettter and aooaer (as I believe) than any other of our great leaders Ou tble subject, I once beard blm say. ‘The patriot volunteer lighting for country uod his rights aaakas tbe moat reliable soldier on earth. The tlrst lime I waa under Are, tha attempt to dlsgnoaa my feelings did not discover to me anything that I recognized aa positive enjoyment, I told General Jackson frankly whet my feelings were and naked blm how be frit the first time be expenenoed it. Afraid the fire would DOS be boS enough (or me to distinguish myself, be promptly replied. 1 have seen General Jeckeoa stop while the army was oo tbe march to help a poor simple woman Aod bar eon when aha Only knew that this son was la ‘Jackson's company.’ There is no measuring tbe Intensity with which tbe vary soul of Jaokeoa burned lu battle. Out of it he wee very gentle. After the battle nf tbe Heeoad Maniseas we were sitting by the Ore drinking coffeee out of our Uq oupe.whan ( sail: ’We have won this battle by tbe hardest kind of Agbtlag, aod be answered me ramiiisr to you all, that, though inti mately associated with Its scenes, I will not narrate It.
