Stock Raising in the West—Necessity for Cheap Food and Clothing for the People Spiendid Pasture Lands of the Trans-Mis- sourl Country—Results of Experience in Raising Cattle—Millions of Acres of “Uncut Hay”—No Necessity for “Winter Feeds ing”—Batter and Cheese for China and Jae pan—A Paradise for Sheep—Wool for the World—Flocks and Herds in the Great West—Beef aud Mutton for the East at Half the Present Prices. DeNveR, Colorado Territory, Dec. 11, 1869, Of the three great resources of the West—min- eral, agricultural and pastorai—the last is perhaps the chief. One-half the vast area of land is specially adapted to grazing purposes. The Northwestern States have been considered the tinest stock raising States; they have been supposed to possess peculiar facies for producing cheap beef, mutton and Wool; put, tn the broad application of the term, the States east of the Missouri are not, nor will they ever be, sperior grazing States. Even in the newest of tuem, where land is comparatively pienti- ful and cheap, horses, cattle and sheep are grazed upoa lands which are Worth to the farmer fifty dol- lars per acre; hay has to be cut upon lands of equal value, labor to cut it costs $2 50 or $3 per day, and, besides, stock requires to be fed on an average half the year. ‘he consequence is that beef and mutton command high prices, and a plentiful supply is beyond the means of the poorer people. The necessity of furnishing plenty of cheap, strength- ening food and good clothing to the lavoring classes 18 a miaiter of paramount importance. They should have an abundant supply of animal as weil as vege- table food. The men who have carried the standard of empire over Europe and the men who success- jully bore the fag of ireedom over the battie fields Of the rebellion were freely furnished with rations of meat. The Brittsn lion is a symbol of strength, John Bull savors strongly of beef. Beef and ale won the great river race for the Oxford oarsmen, and berries and milk, Some people say, lost it to our Harvard crew. St. Paul suggests that while milk 1s very suitable for babes, meu require strong meat. During our late war tae Southern soldiers sumered most from insuflicient ciouning, and “shoddy” was, i think, the only cause of complaint among the Northern troops. Proper food and clothing are essential to any domimant race. Our peopie must have both if they are to conduct the civilization of the age in the course of empire. Hog and hominy are very good, but beef and bread are better. Cotton clog 18 Warm enough im sum- mer, but wooden wear 18 requisite in winter. The necessity lor cicap meat and wool beng conceded, the question then arises, now can they be secured’ 1is solution mast be found in extensive pastoral regions, where little capital need be invested in grazing lands, and where stock can thrive without expensive winter feeding. In oller words we must havé wiuler grazing; and that is furnished everywhere west of the Missourl ‘The rain fall is ligat and is principaily contined to the last of spring or the first of summer. After that showers are only occasional and electrical, The grass is everywhere green and juxuriant In May and June. Afterwards, by reason of the absence of mois- ture in tne sot and atmosphere, it begins wary, and by the Ume that frost appears, which is usually late in September or early im October, tne 1nnumeravle unbroken acres of the plains and valieys and moun- tain slopes have assumed a meliow autumnal ap- pearance, the grass being perfectly cured standing inthe ground.

Failing to count them asked the Mexican in charge of them how many Sheep there were in it, and he said 3,000, At another place 1 saw a smaller flock quietly grazing, and two laitaful dogs were their only shepherds. On the Laramie plains this season | saw a flock numbering 59, whicn were wintered there last year in the open aur at an aititude exceeding 1,000 fect above the sum- mit of Mount Washington. 1t was their first winter north of New Mexico, and one might uaturally sup- pose they would suifer much from tne sudden change ol temperature. But with suow to the right of them and suow to the leit ot tem only one had died of “the 60.” There are 10,000 head of stock now on the plains of Laramie, within the compass of the eye from the railroad jine, and one-third of them are sheep. Considering tne illimitavle pasture iands of the West, one is tempted to predict that insteaa of importing every year from south America, Alrica and Ausiralia more than $30,000,000 worth of wool we must soon supply ail our own manufactories, while we could, if required, furnish the raw material for the world. ‘The Territories of New Mexico, Colorado, Utab, Dacotah, Wyoming, ldaho and Montana are all pro- ducing their own beet and mutton, and tiem, especialy New Mexico and Colarad hually raising a large surplus beyond the wants of their own people.

WHO KILLED SIONSWALL JACKSON? To THR Epiron or THe HeRALD:— Jn the HERALD of Sunday, the 19th inst., I notice a Jetter trom Brigadier General Revere in regard to the killing of “Stonewall” Jackson. The opinion of this officer is of weigut, because I know that he was held in high esteem hy one of the abiest military meu our country has produced, Major General Philip Kearny. Since the appearance of the article in the maga- zine Onu , to which it 18 presumed General Revere’s letter refers, various opinions haye been expressed on this subject. Im there attributing the kiliing Of the greatest Southern General to the First Massachusetts regiment no prejudice or partiality entered into the consideration. The statement was merely @ quotation from a work published in 1866, and @ reference to my article will prove that it was put forth as a view which could be honestly received in the North uaul rebutted by opposing testimony. That Jackson was killed by Northern missties is likewise claimed for Pieasanton’s arullery, and almost coincident with the appearance of General Revere’s letter a commu- nication was received by me from Brevet Colonel Clifford Thomson and to Major General Pleasanton stating most emphatically that such was the case, ‘This letter converts the antagonism of claim be- tween the Confederate authorities and the chaplain of the First’ Massachusetts into a sort of triangular contest, as will inake itself evident by the following extract from Coionel Thomson's letter:— There i another point in whicn you ara in error, You say “Stonewall” Jackson was killed by the First Massachusetts infantry while reconnottering their line. Stonewall Jackson was killed by canister shot fired by General Pieasan- ton early in the engagement of which I have writ. ten above. An officer of hi in ar hands that night gave us the detalis. When Major chan, of the Eighth Pennsylvania, charged the head J p's column Jackson rede to the front o see what the trouble Was, Our artillery opened fire, and Jackson was nded by & canister shot. He was placed on a rade stretcher to be carried to the rear, whe discharge of artillery kiiled one of the bearers. Jackson waa rolled irom the stretcher into the rod. Again he was picked up acd again was bearer shot down, with similar result, Pioally Jackson was taken to the’ rear, where he died. This story Was subsequently corroborated by other prisoners taken [rom Jacksou's corpa and by one Who was a staif oillcer to General ckaon, who was cap- tored by General Flieasanton in Missouri in tho Price cam- paign of 184, In addition to this written communication Colonel Thomson has made & verbal statement, which was taken down and suvmitted to hua, of which tue fol- lowing 13 a copy:— f officer of General Jackson captured by General fn Missouri fully corroborated the above state- neral Jackson was killed at the time that Gen- p stopped Jackson's advance. When the stat ed why the rebels were #0 persistent is assart- ing that he way kiled by his own men, be sald that so great jon ty Jackson in the Southern ving that no Yankes bullet could kill him— army they hel that (f they had admitted that he was. killed by the Union roisaile it would bave totally demoralized Lee's army, and they would have thrown down thelr aring and quit. With this exposition of tesuimony, an individual wring upon the bastie of Chancellorsvilie must Jeave the whole subject to the judgment of the lic. My sole objec’ in writing has been to pre- i tie truth, It has been most gratifying to learn that I have been considered unpartiai in the articies in “Onward” referred to. Nothing has been presented which occurred in our battle feids without @ careful comparison of authori. tied To deprive an author of the right of private judgment as to the preponderance of proof istorob him of all individaality and make nim @ mere seribe. Therefore, while judging from the information actually in hand, Lt shail be happy to modify or rrect any expressea opinion on re- ceiving adequate evidence of its correctness, But Jn a case like the present, with such @ conflict of statements, the mater can only be decided by a cotlection of testimony that will show the exact spot and moment when Stouewall Jackson was shot down, the position of the troops from which the fatal missile could Nave come, and the disposition of the ground—that is to say, whether or no any intervening obstacle could have arrested or defiectea the ball, With this plain presentation of my connection ‘With the subject ail that could be agded 1s to say that the writer has too hign an appreciation of Stonewall Jacksou’s greatness to Wixh (o detract in the slightest degree from what may be deemed glorious 1b the wanuer of ula death, J.

Dickey Fouta cumy of Murder 16 tie First Degree. ‘The Last Acts in the Tragedy—Summing Up of Counsel and the Judge’s Charge—Theory of the Defence— The Verdict — Scenes About the Court Room, The entire morning and most of the afternoon of yesterday was taken up by counsel on the part of the defence and the prosecution in samming up or addressing the jury, who have been so patient since last Thursday as to evoke general comment, tu the cage of John Dickey on trial for the murder of his wife, Mary Ann Dickey, in the Bergen County Court of Oyer and Terminer, at Hackensack, N. J. Crowds thronged the room, and made ingress and egress a matter of impossibility, and among these, although the day was very stormy, were many la- dies, who listened to the arguments with evident interest. Ex-Judge Charies H. Voorhies, who has displayed signal ability in the discharge of a duty assigned him by the Gourt in the defence oi Dickey, proceeded at nine o’clock to address the jury and consumed thi entire morning. He was ingentous, elaborate and eloquent, holding tna, from circumstances and facts deduced, the principal witnesses of the State—Wiiliam J. Mooney and Margaret Jane Dickey, the prisoner’s daughter—could not be be- Heved; 1m a word, their statements were manufac- tured for the occasion, and that the wounds received by Colin Colquhun und Mary Ann Dickey, from which they died, were given them while they were in the commission or about to commit the act of adultery. This theory the counsel claimed that the testimony of Dr. Crary established withoat a doubt w be the truth. In conclusion he asked for a verdict of acquittal or one of manslaughter, M. M. Knapp, of Hackensack, for the State, then followed aud occupied the attention of the jury for two hours and a half. Step by step, piece vy piece, he reviewed the testimony adduced during the trial, and held up the statements of the witnesses Mooney and the prisoner’s daughter to them in every aspect. He reviewed the character of Dickey as estabushed by the evidence, and characterized the attempt of counsel on the other side to besmatter the dead with scandal, to biacken virtue that « murderer might go free, as infamous, disgraceful and fear- fl, and calculated to wreck society. This gentle- man’s argument was listened to with breathless interest, and his allusions at times to the sacredness of family obligations, the tyrauny of husbands, the heroic girl, Margaret, and her murdered mother, brought tears to many eyes. It was an argument logical, conclusive aud eloquent, and seemingly mide a grea: impression upon the jury. Judge Bedle then commenced to charge the jury upon the law and evidence in the case, alluding to every portion of the incidents of the crime, as de- veloped, and at five o'clock the jury retired to deliberate upon a verdict, scores being about the court room at that nour, hoping to soon be able to know the last act of this fearful tragedy. The scenes in the court room after the ben retired were impressive and suggestive. Men of gray hairs and years threescore and ten, with youths of tender age, remained, hoping to soon know the fate of the man whose crime has made them for the past week to shudder. At six o’clock Judge Bedle adjourned the court until the jury should agree, aud that important eyent in the trlul to be intimated to the villagers by !fe ringing of the court house bell. Supper had hardly been eaten at the neighboring hotels betore messengers and the solenn tones of the bell announced that the fate of Jonn Dickey had been decided upon, At twenty-five minutes past six o’clock the court room, crowded in every nook and corner, with District Attorney Ackerson and M, M. Knapp, representing the State, and the counsei for the defence present, the jury, one by one, with solemn faces and measured steps, took the places thatsiuce last Thursday they have so pauently filed. Judge Bedle, itm a kindly voice, told the Sherif to bring up the defendant Dickey. ‘The venerable clerk of the court, Mr. Biauveit, stood at his desk, serious and contemplative. Dickey came up in a minute and took his accustomed place, and, for the first time during the serious ordeal, manife his nervousness by excessive twitchings of bis fa The jury were called, when again the Court spoke, advising “the defendant to stand up.’’ Dickey ent the order, and tne jury arising to their feet, Cierk Blauvelt put the qusesion, “And how find you, gentlemen of the jury, is the prisoner guilty or not guilty “Guilty of murder in the first degree,” came trom the foreman, Garrett A, Herring, amid ‘a silence in- dicative of the interest that had been excited and maintained during the entire trial. The convicted murderer was remanded at once, and in the act of his leaving the room in charge of Sheriff Van Blar- com and an officer, manttested some emotion and extreme seriousness. The sickly smile and meagre tears told more of the workings of his heart than human foresight had yet before the ingenuity to conjecture. The Court then, In a few expressive sentences, again thanked the Jurors for thew patience, care aud attention, and discharged them.
