-Mks
KniTOiis : I ho
perns 01
times demand that every lover of their
country, every patriotic heart, should be
enlisted in an elfort to protect our beloved
South from tho hand of tho opprssors,
and to shield and defend our homes anil
our firesides from the devastating iiillu-
enco 01 the :ortlierii aruiv. And as our
countrymen have, at duty's call, without
a murmur, exchanged the endearments of
home for iho soldier's rugged life, we
think it behooves the ladies to lend a
helpim: hand towards rendering them
comi'ort.-tlilo as possible, fur wo tire entirely
dependent on their success for our future
happiness.
Woman cannot do too much towards
conducing to tho comfort of our soldiers.
r.very tniieu oi tiioughtliilne.s.s on lier
part, gives ineni renewed viL'orantl causes
them more firmly to resolve "to do or
die."
Prompted by those feelings, and dc-ir
ous of eonti ibtitint' a little mite in behalf
of those who havo enlisted to defend with
a jealous euro our country, the ladies of
Oak r.owery, and Pleasant Hill, assembled
on Tuesday, tho Gth hint., at tho Masonic
Hall, ut Oak liowcry, for tho purpose of
organizing a Soldier's Aid Society.
In addition to the 1 tdios, quite a crowd
of gentlemen were in attendance, as it
was the day on which a dinner was given
the fino volunteer company under com
mand of Captain (.'(.avion, 'fhe scone
was much enlivened by tho music, march
ing and countermarching of tho troops,
who manifested tho utmost enthusiasm at
tho early prospect of having an oppor
tunity of avenging their country's wrongs.
We predict they will give n good account
of themselves.
At two o'clock the mooting was called
to order, ami on motion of Mrs. A. Mc
Calltim, Mrs. S. Calhoun, was appointed
President, and on further motion. Miss
M. li. Jones, was appointed Secretary,
and Miss M. Calhoun, Assistant Secre

Society, forty-ono Indies came forward and
enrolled their names.
On motion the meeting wont into the

A Visit to tlie Wld-jw of tho Lamented
Jackson.
A correspondent of the Columbus ((hi.)
.Vnn writes :
Before leaving Fairfax, I called to pay
my respects to Mrs. Susan Jl. Jackson,
Ihe mow ot James W. Jackson, the
martyr who fell in Alexandria, on the'2ltli
of May, in the cause of Southern liberty.
Mto resides in a neat little cottage near
the Court House, provided for her liy
Maj. Henry W. Thomas, who married a
sister of her hit-band. She received me
with gn at kindness, and spoke with deep
emotion ot tho generosity of tho Southern
people towards herself and family. She
has three lovely children with herall
daughters -of the ages of thirteen, ten
and seven, one of whom is said to bear a
striking resemblance to her father. Mrs.
Thomas has two daguerroolypes of the
hero, one of which was taken while ho
was at work in his garden, with his hat,
coat and vest olf. It is a very striking
face, and bears abundant evidence, in
every lineament, of good humor, gallan
try, Hud uiiilirinkitig courage. Ho has
Ihe eve of an eacle. His features tiro
bold tmd striking, ami his hair is thick
and still', and stand's up liko (ion. Jack
son's, as if in delianee of all tho hates in
the win-id. No physiognomist can look
H)iOii the. ''counterfeit presentment'' with
out feeling that ho was every inch a hero,
and that his was as gallant a spiiitas was
ever offered up in defense of liis countrv's
Hag. Von will bo glad lo learn that his
likeness will lie multiplied in duo tune Iry
every means of art, so that every one may
obtain a copy who desires it.
There are certain facts connected with
the life and death uf Jackson which 1
havo never seen in print, and which can
not fail to interest your readers. Ilo was
born in Kaii fax county, near tho Potomac
river, and was .'i,S years old the ISth of
Mav. Ho married his wife in Kentucky,
while on a visit to his brother, who re
sides in that State, mid some few years
thereafter ho removed to Kairlax Court
' - U u.i.t.i.1,11.,1
Ceccmber last. Ho was
village a generous, open-hearted fellow,
wholly unselfish, a groat lover of children
and voung people; always took sides with
tho weaker party ; spoke his own mind
fully, though no botl'ensively; scorned every
thing that was utile ami moan, and i eared
no man living or dead. ou will not by sur
prised to hear that such a man did not ac
cumulate much of the "thifn thnl follows
fawning." Pond of society, ho leased the
Marshall House in Alexandria, lilted it
out with new furniture and table-ware,
and removed there the 1st of the present
year. He is tho santo man who cut down
the Lincoln polo in Oeeoittan, in the ad
joining county of Prince William, last
summer.
Jackson was asleep in the second story.
Kllsu'orth entered his house, (about day
break) and proceeded to Iho roof to take
down the Hag. The servant who aroused
him told him that tho house was full of
Lincoln men, and that some of them had
gone up after the Hag, and begged him
not to leave his room. He rose imme
diately, und slipping on his pants, seized
his double-barrel shot gun, at tho head of
his bed, and had reached the first turn in
the stairway leading to tho third story,
when he met Kllsworth coming down with
the Hag wrapped around him, and follow
ed hy a number of Zouaves. Without ut
tering a word it was enough that his Hag
had been taken down Jackson shot him
t irough tho ho ti t, the load carrying apart
of the Hug, liko a piece of patching, into
tl io heart itself, where it was afterwards
found. Olio of the Zouaves filed almost
at the saino instant upon Jackson, who
was standing a little below and looking up
at tho stairwav.
Tho ball of the Zouave struck him just
between tho eyes, on the bridge of the
nose, and passed out at the hack of his
head. Though in the very article of death,
the hero returned tho tire of the enemy
as he was falling, but withut effect, the
load passing near his head, and burying
itself in tho wall above. Notwithstand
ing ho was down and dead, tho cowardly
rascals niihed upon him, one of them
stabbing liini willi a knife in the stomach
and another driving his bayonet through
his body und actually pinning it to tlie
floor. In this position tho corpse was
kept from early dawn until 11 o'clock, he
fore any of his friends or even his family
were allowed either to see it orremovo it.
At one timo it was seriously discussed
among tho enemy whether they should
not cut the bodv into pieces and burn it.
At length orders camo from Washing
ton to allow the corpse to bo removed. It
was taken to Fairfax Court House, tmd
thence to tho family homestra 1 where ho
was born, and near which his aged mother
resides and there, beneath the trees
whore he gambolled in infancy, and near
tho classic Potomac, in whoso waters it
was his wont to bathe, he was buried by
tho side of his father.
The old homestead now belongs to Mr.
Cults, a Northern man, who has volun
tarily Hod from the Stale and taken up
arms against the South. Tlie family bury
ing ground was reserved at the time of
the sale.
Will not the generous people of the
South rescue the birth-place and grave of
ist heroic son from the tread of the
cowardly traitor who owns it, and present
it to his wife and children ? His wife has
not the means to purchase it ; for all the
furniture, and other property which they
had in Alexandria wore burned or broken
t) pieces by the enemy. What better use
could tlie money which our people are
raising for tlioir relief be applied than to
the securing of the humble farm whpve

Memorial to the cTnTre9ro7 the Con

barrassment during the war, your memo-
ralists are of amnion should the Congre
adopt the measures indicated anil bold
the cotton and tobacco until the dost rf
Me war, or until such time as an advanta
geous sale can be effected, it would put it
tlie hands of the Government a powerful
lever to procure a speedy peace with tk
United Slates, and full and complete re
cognition by foreign powers of the inde
pendence of tho Confederate- States, and
furnish to the Government of the Con
federate States a basis of credit equally
as valuable and reliable for the redenip
non ot ineir I reasttry notes, .is ingots ol
gold, in any liauk in the world. liy adopt
ing tho plan recommended your meinoral
ists are of opinion that the war can 1
carried on for an indefinite period, with
out creating any, or but very little for
eign debt, and when the war closes, a
close it must at no very distant day, (if all
the cotton and tobacco grown within the
limits of tho Confederacy, is held by th
Government, until that consummation is
realized,) the Confederate States will
the most free and its inhabitants the most
wealthy, of any other nation or people,
because the monies expended will be
among her own people, and the Govern
ment will havo under its own control
those articles which are indispensable to
the civilized world in such qnuntities
as to enable her to control the price of cot
ton and tobacco, to an extent sufficient to
prevent low prices after commercial rela
tions are fully established with other com
mercial nations. Your memorialists deem
unnecessary to say more on the subject,
but submit the proposition to the con
sideration of tho Congress, reijuesting
them to give to the subject that attention
which in the opinion of your memorial
ists the subject deserves.
Resolved, That his Excellency, the Gov
ernor, be and ho is hereby requested to
forward a copy of this momorial to each
of our Pepreseutativcs in the Congress of
the Confederate States with a request that
it be laid before that body for its conside
ration. Ship Island. Its Defences and Surrounl
inrs. A writer in the Clinton (La.) ft
trkd gives this description of Ship Islac'f
and the surrounding bay :
There is no entrance on the east endo'
the vessels of more than six or eight fe
draught, and the water near the shore s
very shallow. This part is covered witt
a live-oak and cedar grove, and wasoccu
pied by several families before thestors
in October last, in rearing cattle. Ti'
West end is a low, sandy peninsula, itbom
four miles long, entirely destituteof lre
with a few ridges, apparently washed f
by heavy seas, and connected with w
main island by a narrow isthmus. At lb;
end is the channel, leading into the sou
or bay, and the only one through whirt
it can be entered. Here is the hp
house and fort. The brick walls lire
finished, but the guns fire all protectei

There are thirteen guns mounted in
near the fort, being thirty-two's, fortr
two's, sixtv-four's, and one ninety

is the famous ninety-six that dealt such uf
struetion at Fort Sumter, in CharW'"v
harbor, April last. .
About throe-fourths of a mile, east tot
fort, are two light brass pieces, for
