Colonel C. E. Tboibura, command

W. Peters, Dr. Hunter MoUutie, of

end Her. W. F. Jeokinj.
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Th«re wars repealed enter* at the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.

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. I will only da
otare that ha met this great eaemy aa

steadily expecting, aa always, to con
