At the close of the argument Judge Murray said that in his view the pending motion, so far as it looked toward @ consideration of the main ques- Uon, was a violation of the stay of proceedings, and therefore irreguiar; that tf the defendants should decline to argue the question to confirm the order previously made, and he (Judge Murray) should [sed the motion, his aecision would also be irregular, The only question thereiore which he could pass upon was to vacate the order staying proceedings, ana, under the circumstances, he thought the interests ot Loth parties would be best subserved vy leaving the order stand.

A terrible mining accident occurred this morning at five o'clock at the village of Stockton, near this Place. At the hour named the community was startied from siumber by a loud noise, caused by the caving in of slope No, Lof Linderman & Skeer's coal mine. Upon parties hurrying to the acene it was discovered that two double dwelling hoases, Nos. 3, .. 4, 5 and 6, had been carried down with the enormous masses of earth :hat filled the shaft and tunnel, THE SCENE, Stockton ia a small village situated on the Fazel- tas branch of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, two miles distant from tazelton. It contains many very neatly built houses and other buildings, the com- pany’s stores and the hotel being the Principal structures. The company employs abont 1,200 mimera, who make this their home. The mine rans parallel with the railroad track through the middie of the village. About fifty eet avove the place of this morning's accident the mine caved in some years az0; but no Manger of ita happening again has since heea apprehended. About ten years ago @ smail hole was made by the falling of the earth directly tn frout of the two Lil-fated houses, NARROW BSCAPE. ‘The residents of houses Nos. 3 aud 4, Mr. Philip Wetheran, his family and boarders, and the family of Mr. Wiiltam Morris} and boarders, were saved from a terrible death by a singular circumpstance, A dog belonging vo Mr. Morrist awoke the family by its persistent howling and barking. One of the men rose for te purpose of ascertaining what ailed the auimal, when he discovered that the house was sinking. He immediately gave the alarm and the two families bad barely time to escape. Miss Mary Wetheran, running in the wrong direction, fell mto the abyss, but was subsequently rescued by some courageous young men. She is somewhat bruised and prostrated from excitement and fear, but will recover, THE VICTIMS. All of the residents of houses Nos. 6 and 6 lie hopes lessly boriod in the ruins. They coniprise Mr. Schwenk, nis wife, a son of nineteen years, a daughter of eighteen years, a 40n of eight years and an infant. This comprised one family. ‘The other consisted of Mr, Isaac Ranch, his mother, wite and infant. This makes a total of tea persons, It is re- ported that some men were in the mine at the time of the accident, and tf so all are undoubtedly dead. But the report is very doubtrnt and camnot be traced to any reliable authority. So far it nas been found imposaibie to reach the dead bodies of the victims, The cave is seventy-fve feet wide and sixty feet deep, and as the stoves in the houses set fire to the woodwork the entire cavity is now a. burning and smoking mass. The Pioneer No. 1 fire engine of Hazelton was soon on the ground and made every exertion to extinguish the fre, in the: hope that some of the persons in the cave might be saved. There was not, however, the faintest proba- bility of any being alive one hour after the accident took piace, as ail were burled by the falien earth with frightful etfectiveness.

The excitement is very great and is increasing. Families in the vicinity are moving oust of their houses, fearing that theirs will fall in pext. Lt is the general opinion that other houses will fallin. There ig also danger of the mines taking fire. Messrs. Linderman and Skeer arrivea at the scene of the disaster this afternoon. They are sparing no pains to secure the bodies ag speedily as possivie, COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET, Joseph Koch, late deputy county clerk, but re- cently elected civil justice im the Fifth Judictal dis- trict, was honored last evening with a banquet by a number of members of the Progress Club, of which the judge is a leading member, at their ciegant club house in West Twenty-third street.

J., Dec. 16, 1860, To Tae Eprros or rue H@RaLp:— Having observed your remarks on the subject of the death of the rebet General, Thomas Jonathan Jackson, I take tho liberty of asking you to ada my ‘estimony to that of others 8o that there can remain m0 reasonable doubt but that he was Killed by bis own troops, and will make my narrative ag ehort as possible for your columns, At the battle of Chanceliorsville I commanded the Secoud brigade of the Second division of the Third Army Corps, and our division was held in reserve near the Chancellorsville House until about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the 24 of May, 1863, Which was the time of the furious attack made on the right of our line by Jackson, wateh broke the Eleventh corps, hurling it back in disorder, We were almost immediately ordered to the front to check the attack of the enemy and deployed in line of battle to the right of the Orange Court House plank road, not far from our first position, the enemy stopping any further ad- vance at that time, As soon as my line was formed and pickets thrown out in front of it, I rode to the front to inspect the’ picket line, as {t was my tnva- riable habit to do, to rectify 114 positions if necessary. It was now twilight, anda ittéle later tne moon's light aided the vision to: pierce the darkness of the dense forest in which was our position. While en- gaged in changing the posts of some of the sentinels covering the left front of my line, in a comparatively clear place near the plank road, 1 heard the sound of an approaching cavalcade from. the side of the enemy, which soon appeared, and the foremost horseman detaching himseif irom it came on alone, #0 near that the soldier -nearest me levelled his rifle for a shot at him; but I stopped him from ring, not wishing to reveal our position, and judging him an oMlcer making @ reconnotssance, in which case it would have been a useless thing to kill him—even w he could have hit him in the uncertain ght. After a few moments, spent apparently in trying to pierce the*gioom, this person slowly turned hfs horse, and the whole party returned towards the Confederates at a gallop. ‘The clatter of the hoofs became fainter in the dis- tance, when suddenty the darkness in that directton was lighted up by a flash, succeeded by the weil known rattle of # volley of musketry from at least @ Dattalion, on the mght of the road, and aiter the interval of about twenty seconds came another vol- Jey from its left. Being Ce ery that some of our oye might posaiply tm that direction, Ide termined to ride forward alone and satisfy myself, as, if called tnto action, there mght be danger of jiring upon our own troops, I did #0, leaving my orderly within my picket line. Emerging irom the thick undergrowth upon the road a rideriess horse dashed past me towards our lines. and | reined up near @ group of three persons, two of whom were supporting, the third, Who was stretched on the ground, apparently grievously hurt. A horse, or perhaps more than one, were near by, a5 1 saw in- distinctly, bot whether they were ted to wees or heid by other persons 1 could not make out. 1 saw at once that these were Confederates, prob- aply oficers, and visions of the Livby be- tat through my mind at indi near them, but reflecting that was well armed and mounted, moreover that 1 wore @ private’s gray overcoat and slouched hat, which were common to both partes, lsat still, regarding the group in silence, but prepared to fly if necessary at the frst warning. ‘Yhe slience was broken by one of the persons, Who seemed to regard me with sur- prise, and, 3) ay 4s one having authority, by directed me “to ride up there and see what trvop! those were,” indicating the direction of his army, to which I gave a sign of assent, and, too happy to escape, J rode in that direction unti out of sight of the group, when, Making » circutt, 1 returned within my own iines. Justas I reached our picket Mine the federal section of artillery posted on the piank road commenced firing, and I could plainly hear tne grape crashing througn the limbs of the trees near the point fad left, [found my brigade engaged in strengthening their position by a rade line of apittis in preparation for the vattie. That night two Cpe te oticers of my brigade—Lieu- tenant Colonel Holi and Captain Hugo, of the seventieth New York—crawied on ail fours within the enemy’s ‘lines aud captured several prisoners, from whom I extracted the infor- mation that Rhodes’ division of Jackson's corps jay in our front; and one of them, an oficer, gave Mme, Upon @ sort of cross-eXamination, some laterest- ing details. At early daylight the next morning (Su day, May 5) the enemy commenced a vigorous attact upon our line, which being unsupported, although thousands of fresh troops lay witvin half musket shot, was forced, afver a galiant defence and heavy losses, to retire and yield the ground to shein, About a fortnight afterwards, at tne camp at Fal- moatn, | saw the Huchmond Sxguirer, giving @ de- tailed account of the death of Stonewall Jackson, and the circumst: hig receiving Dis wound, which made it clear, to me at Jeasi, that the man I saw lying on the ground was himself, and that he was killed by bis own men. Otuer Confederate accounts mention “some one was sitting his horse by the side of the wood, cooily looking on motion- jess and silent.” ‘The unkvown individual was clad in a dark dress strongly resembling the Federal uui- Torm, but lt seemed impossible that he could have penetrated to that spot without betng die’ overed, and what followed seemed to prove that he belonged to the Confederates.” Captain Wiibourne directed him “to ride up there apd see what troops those were,” upon which the ‘auger slowly rode in the direction pointed ont, but never returned with any auswer. “Who this silent personae was is left to posterity,” &c. As I weli knew Stonewall Jackson irom the time of the Mexican war 1 couid not have failed to recognize him had I “interviewed” iim on this occasion, watca would, however, re- sulted most disagreeably to at least one of the par- tiea—a sinale for which i avatl mystl{ of the present occasion to heartily thank “Captain Wilbourn” tor having averted by his opportune command, hoping he will excuse me for having ‘never returned.” As to Jackson having met his death at the hands of the First Massachusetts, that 18 impoasivie, a3 that regi- ment occupied a@ position on the left of our division, near the plank road, and Kyi geet out of sight and range of the spot he advan to while reconnoiier- ing. Wane upon the subject of the pattle of Chancellors- vite, if L do not intrude too much upon your valu- able space, permit me respectfully to protest against the statements charging my iate gallant and able friend, General Sedgwick, either direculy or by un- plication, with having been the cause of the loss of that great battle while glorifying other generals én- gaged in it, alsnough the former achieved the really ony great exploit of the five days’ campaign—tue successful storming of the heights of Fredericks- burg. The muittary student who tmpartialiy ex- amines the details of this battle must, 1 think, inevi- tably come to these conclusions:— “hat the plan, strategy and field tactics of the campaign were Weil conceived and inuuitabiy exe- cuted by the commandiag generai up to tue period of the occupation of Chancellorsville, on Thursday, April 2, and of a deid of batile some miles nearer Fredericksburg and his left wing (Seagwick) in opea ground, where our pocargr th Ol nuinbers, equip: jment and artillery Could not Wave iaiied to have geven us the victory. That the yoluuiary and incomprehensible relin- quishment of this fine position, in spive of the re- monstrances of Generals Couch, Warren and others, was the first mistake of the federal general, which jnevitably begot a succession of blunders, a 18 usual in war, leading ultimately to tae discomiture of our arms. ‘Yhat in thus abandoning ail offensive movements at the outset and standing of the deicnsive tite com- nianding generai gave uD uli tue advantage of nis rove a Ube attacking party and damped the ardor of the troops, Who truly imagined themseives to ine prosecution of an aggressive campaign. ‘Tuat tue compleve and ingiorious Inaction of two whole days—Sunday, the 34, and Monday, the 4th during Which our army, ia @ position which could not have been carr lay covered by entrench. ments, with both danks resiing on the Rappahan- nock, forming an aro, of wnica the river Was the chord, and iatened to the sound of the guns mM an action between Lee and Sedgwick, and guarded as it was by # greaily inferior force, anul ‘Vat action should be succes#fully gained by its op- ponents, Was the final cause of its defeat, and not Sedwick's failure to form a junction, Which was iin- possible. Precisely at the moment that Hooker had apparently lost all stomach for offensive operations we find Lee, recovering from his Surprise as finding bis powerlul enemy right on tis fauk aud endangering his communications, assuming the offensive and inaugurating w series of daring manwuryres Which more than equatied the dispacity of his numbers, and resulted ia victory at last. I cannot presume to ask for space uere to give even asummary of these grand tactics, during the execution of which Lee more than once exposed his army to destruction, but which desperate riska le was forced to take, apparentiy divining that his op- ponent would remain lupassive, and theur study La- voives & great lesson in the art of war, Ifl have succeeded in throwing any Light upon that most important episode tn the war—tue death of Jackson——by my communication, [ shall be happy t Subscribe myseil very respectiully, JOSEPH W.
