He obeyed, asking nonchalantly: "I say, dear lady, who's to be here to-night?" "The Enos Jacksons." "I thought they were separated." "Not yet." "Very interesting! Only you, dear lady, would have thought of serving us a couple on the verge." "It's interesting, isn't it?" "Assuredly. Where did you know Jackson?" "Through the Warings. Jackson's a rather doubtful person, isn't he?"
Of all who knew Jackson in Washington, Burr seems to have had the strongest hopes for his future. Scant as are the traces of his labors as a legislator, even scanter are the records of his career on the bench during the six years that followed. The reports of the decisions of the Tennessee Supreme Court in this period are extremely meagre; not one decision is preserved as Jackson's.
The victory, however, was all the greater, for the casualty lists were not long, owing to the management of the Commanding General and the heroic Admiral, who won a battle famous as that at New Orleans, with less bloodshed, but as Jackson's victory was not belittled because he lost but half a dozen men killed, the victories at Manila should not be slighted.
Even if they were able to hold their ground at so short a range, they could make no accurate practice under the fire of the Confederate marksmen. 12 noon. In rear of Jackson's line, Bee, Bartow, and Evans were rallying their men, when Johnston and Beauregard, compelled, by the unexpected movement of the Federals, to abandon all idea of attack, appeared upon the Henry Hill.
Partly Jackson's personal influence, partly his able aides, partly favoring circumstances had, during his administrations, brought the Democracy into excellent condition, patriotic, national in general spirit, with a creed that, however imperfect close construction being its integrating idea was, after all, definite, consistent, and thoughtful.
With this possible infusion of new capital into its resources, the Company was beset by offers of machinery and goods; and it was deemed expedient by the sapient Rice, that to prevent the dissemination of any more accurate information regarding Jackson's property the next day, the lawyer should be met at the stage office by one of the members, and conveyed secretly past Tomlinson's to the Ledge.
the Confederate soldier would not have changed places with the President himself. There was much social intercourse, too, between the different headquarters. General Lee was no unfrequent visitor to Moss Neck, and on Christmas Day Jackson's aides-de-camp provided a sumptuous entertainment, at which turkeys and oysters figured, for the Commander-in-Chief and the senior generals.
The quality to which his success is chiefly owing is revealed by the words of a school-fellow, who, in spite of Jackson's slender physique and lack of physical strength at that time, felt the force of his iron will. He was dead game and never would give up." A boy who "never would stay throwed," and "never would give up" would succeed though the whole world tried to bar his progress.
Jackson stopped presently with his staff and let some of the regiments file past him. General Lee was awaiting him there and the two talked briefly. Harry saw that both were firm and confident. It was rare with him, but Jackson's face was flushed and his eyes shining. He lingered for only a few moments, and then rode on with his column.
Appealing from his native sod In forma pauperis to God Lay bare thine arm stretch forth thy rod, Amen! That's Stonewall Jackson's way." Then Happy Tom threw down his stick and the men dispersed to their quarters. But they had paid Stonewall Jackson a tribute that few generals ever received. "You're a wild and foolish fellow, Tom Langdon," said Dalton, "but I like you for this thing you've done."
