his power to stop all these specula
tions by signifying his willingness to
be the candidate. Governor Brown
has the implicit confidence of three-
fourths of flic voting population of
the State. He has shown himself em
inently qualified for the important po
sition he now holds ; he has managed
the. affairs of the State with great
success, ami during the period that we
leave been in war, Governor Brown
has, with true devotion and patriotism,
proven himself equal to the crisis.
Let hint remain where he is until peace
is made. None hut croakers and hit
ter partisans wish Governor Brown
turned out. The people *have trusted
him long and tire willing to continue
this confidence by re-electing him.—
Tiie Governor owes it to himself and
the country just to say, at once, he is
a candidate for re-election, and all will

hear no more about conventions, and

We take the following from the Rich

General Jackson, having gone some dis
tance in front of the line of skirmishers on
Saturday evening, was returning about 8
o’clock, attended by bis staff aud part of
in (lie

greatly satisfied when told they were do
ing remaikabiy well. Did not complain
of any pain in liis side, and wanted to see
the members of his staff, but was advised
not. *
Wednesday—wounds looked remarka
bly well. lie expected to go to Richmond
this day, but was prevented by the rain.
This night, whilst bis surgeon,' who had
blejit none for three nights, was asleep, he
complained of nausea, and ordered his
boy, Jim, to place a wet towel over his
stomach. This was done. About day
light the surgeon was awakened by the
boy saying, the General is suffering great
pain. Tbe pain rvas in the^right side,
and due to incipient pneumoma and some
nervousness, which he, himself, attributed
to the fall from the litter.
Thursday—Mrs. Jackson arrived, great
ly to bis joy and satisfaction, and she
faithfully nursed him to the end. By
Thursday evening, all pain had ceased ;
lie suffered greatly from prostration.
Friday—he suffered no pain, but the
prostration increased.
Drs. Tucker and Smith had been con
sulted fnJm Thursday.
Sunday morning, when it was ap
parent that he was rapidly sinking
Mrs. Jackson was informed of his con
dition. She then had free and full con
verse with him, and told him he was
going to die. He said, “very good very
good, it is all right.”
He had previously said, “I consider
these wounds a blessing; they were
given me for some good and wise pur
pose, arid I would not part with them
if I could.” He asked of Maj. Pendle
ton, “who is preaching at headquarters
to-day.” lie sent messages to all the
Generals. He expressed a wish to be
buried in “Lexington, in the Valley
ol Virginia.”
During the delirium liis mind re
verted to the field of battle, and he
sent orders to Gen. A. P. Hill to pre
pare for action, and to Major Hawks,
liis commissary, and to tire surgeons.
He frequently expressed to his aids
his wish that Major General Ewell
