It happened, however, that these matters brought out indefinitely, or unsatisfactorily alluded to, in Dab- ney’s li relations as son, : 2 portant points in the south and use the best troops as ‘lignt movable col- umns’ of not over 40,000 or 50,000 These should be made up of the very best men, and under the command of the pick of officers. They should be lightly equipped and prepared for long, quick marches. These he would hurl against the en- emy as they invade the southern ter- titory or use them to make rapid in- vasion of the north. He would se- men each. of Jackson that she desired to amplify for the purpose of throw- ing full light upon them. Among these more or less obscure points in Jackson's idea of how the war should have been conducted. It is treated of in the beginning of chapter 15 on the battle of Cedar Run, but in an incomplete, inaccurate and erroneous way. The chapter says that Gener- al Jackson had an interview with Hon. A. Boteler. the former's tent, where the general communicat- ed his views of the future conduct of the war, end begged that on Mr. Boteler’s next visit to Richmond he would impress them on the govern- ment. Jackson told Mr. Boteler that the confederates should carry the horrors of the invasion from their own borders to those of the guilty assailants. Dabney closes the paragraph with this sentence: ‘What weight was at- tached to it is unknown, but the campaign soon after took the direc- tion which he (Jackson) had indicat- ed? Gen. Rufus Barringer, a resident of this city, who was a brother-in- law of Gen. Jackson, has been able to furnish Mrs. Jackson very valua- ble information on this point, obtain- ed in a council held with ‘Stonewall’ Jackson in the latter's own tent and at his own request Instead of the subsequent campaign taking the di- rection which he (Jackson) had indi- cated it was just opposite tohis plan and made Sharpsburg and Gettys- burg disastrous possibilities cities, fall upon them without notice, levy contributions on them of $50,- 000 to $100,000, or more as cirecum- ; stances suggested, and destroy the towns that refused the levy. When- ever he should find the enemy press- ing him in the north he would re- treat and fight his way across the line. In the meantime, however, one of these ‘light movable columns’ would be on the way to some other unpro- tected city, perhaps 500 miles away, which would be levied on or else de- stroyed. Gen. Jackson went so far as to specify the states into which he would send the lightly equipped columns. He named Pennsylvania, Ohio and ‘Bleeding Kansas’ as con- stantly exposed points. It was his intention on these invasions to take no prisoners except high civil offi- in som. His idea of taking no prison- ers is one that his biographer, Mr. | familiar with or which he umnten- upon in the ‘Life of Jackson.” Gen.

The result was the Sharpsburg. The whole was in the enemy's lines, where j they had no supplies. Under Jack- hson’s plan of campaign, with light movable columns of 50,000 troops, this couldn't have happened. The wisdom of Stonewall’s idea was again demonstrated with the fatal disaster the following year when the hero of Chance dead aud the contfede ashes of sorrow. Hooker treated after the battle of Chancel lorsville, and Lee went up in the Culpepper neighborhood, and was there organiz an army while the officers were in a quandary as to what would be the great Horsville lay vas in the had re- next move of the chieftain. Pretty soon the Union wmy began to flank Lee’s army, leaving open the way to Mary- land. Inmnediately began the invas- ion, when the entire army was again in the eucmy’s country, and then fol- lowed Gettyburg, painfully proving the oracular wisdom of Stonewall, then dead. Both of these invasions of Lee, culminati in Sharpsburg and Gettysburg, were possibly ne- cessities of the circumstances, and the invasion that ended at Sharps- burg probably was had with Jack- but, the less, they remain in history proof of the of Stonewall son’s counsel, none wonderful war wisdom Jackson.” “When I Was a Boy!” is an expression almost every lad has heard his father use as a basis for bombastic self adulation. But the boy of the last quarter of the nine teenth century may retort, “when you were a boy, and had an attack of green-apple stomache-ache, you had to take calomel and jalap, but I am treated to Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, sugar-coated, and just as nice as chocolate caramels; no blue mass and castor oil for 1ze— Td rather fight it out with the pain!” This is the most unkindest cut of all on the Kansas prohibition states- man.
