Jdrkoii, A inc-n.j of tLi« illustrious wamoi, whose deed® are now resounding from one end ol the Confederate State- tc~the othei. has en abled us to give the loiiowiDg sketch of his iife, previously to hie ueeejitaDCc of t co/n tiiand in the Confederate aruiv Since that tiiiie it has become a part of the hi -tor? of the country. He was born iu Clarksburg, in the county oi Lewie, in the year 182f>, of highly respe" table parents, both ol whom died during his infancy, leaving, him without a cent in the world During his early childhood he resided with an uncle, whose name we did not hear and at the age of sixteen he had conducted himself so well, and produet ed such a favorable impression of his energy and integrity that h* was chosen constable of the county In the year 181*2 a cadet Bf 4 Fip>pt,_ annointed from his district to West Point, who declined to go ocas, m umu. diately conceived the idea of filling the place he had left vacant Our informant says, that one day, while it was raining hard, he burst suddenly into ins office, the rain streaming from his clothes, and told him he must give him a letter to Mr, Hayes, at that time representative in Congress from the Lewis district. Upon being asked what hr wanted With such a letter, he replied, he wished to go to West Point His frierd pointed out to him what he regarded as the absurdity of such a scheme, seeing that he waa very deficient in education, and would therefore, probably not be able to stand the preliminary examination. He acknowledg ed deficiency, but said he was sure he had the preservance to make it up. He obtained the letter without further difficulty, aud that every evening borrowed a horse, under prom ise to send him back by a boy whom he carried with him, and rode to Clarksburg to take the stage. It had been raining for weeks as it eau only rain in that country, the roads were muddy as they are muddy nowhere else that ever we heard of. Jack son arrived in time j but on account of the ; muddy roads, the Postmaster had furnished | the mail an hour before time, and the stage ! was already gone. With characteristic fidel i ity to his promise, Jackson sent the horse i back, instead of riding him on in pursuit of | the stage, and took it on foot through the ( mud. After a run of sixteen miles, he over ; took the stage, jumped in, went to Wash ington all muddy as he was, presented his letter to Mr. Hayes, and was by him, in turn, presented to the Secretary of War, who gave him the ‘coveted warrant. At West Point lie severely felt the want of early education ; but his indomitable spirit, over came every obstacle. He was never marked for a demerit during his four years, and graduated with the class of 1846, the same | in which McClellan graduated. M'l. r "CJ O—’ *1 ■’ " f .** W«r> a r-rtrl r>ft !mmp. and Lately, with the rank of Second Lieutenant, to join General Taylor’s arm}’ in the valley of the Kio Grande. He arrived alter the battle of Palto Alto. Resaea de la Palma, and Monterey, and before that of Euena Vista, was ordered to join Gen. Scott before Vera. Cruz. At the -siege of this latter place he commanded a battery, and at tracted attention by his coolness and the judgement with which he worked his guns, and was promoted First Lieutenant. For his conduct at Cerro Gordo, be was brevet ted Major for his services. On one occa sion he commanded a battery upon which the tire of the enemy was so severe, that more thou half his troops, who were so raw, incontinantly rau. Jackson was advised to retreat, but he said that, if he could get a reinforcement of fifty regulars, lie would take the enemy’s battery opposed to him, instead of abandoning his own He sent for the named reinforcement, but before it came he had already stormed the obnoxious bat tery. Jackson’s health was so much shattered by this campaign, that he was compelled to resign. He accepted a professorship at the Military Institute, where he continued until the secession of Virginia In height, he is about six feet, with a weight of about one hundred and eighty, He is quite as re markable for his moral as he has proved himself to be for his fighting qualities —be- ing a perfectly conscientious man, just in all his ways, and irreproachable in all his deal ings with his fellow men. It is said he is a fatalist, as Nepoleon was, and has no fear that he can be killed before his time comes. He is as calm in the midst of a hurricane of bullets, as he was in the pew of his church at Lexington, when he was professor of the Institute. He appears to be a man of su per human endurance. Neither hear or cold Uiiikt-3 *!>£■ slightest impression upon him. lie cares nothing for good quarters and daiuty fare. \Yrapped in his blanket, he throws himself down upon ground any where, and sleeps as soundly as though he were in a palace. He lives as the soldiers live, aud endures all the fatigue and all the suffering that they endure. His vigilance is something marvellous, lie never seems to sleep, and lets nothing pass without his pers onal scrutiny. He can neither be caught napping nor whipped when he is wideawake. The rapidity of his marches is something portentous. He is heard of by the enemy at one point, aud before they can make their minds to follow him, he is off at another. His men have little baggage, aud he moves, as nearly as possible without incumbrance. He keeps so constantly in motion that he never has a sick list, and no need of hospit als. In these habits, and iu a will as deter mined as Julius Ca>sar, are read the secret of his great success. His men adore him, because he requires them to do nothing Lb do3i u~A do himself, because he constantly leads tnem to victory, and be oau-c: they see he i< a great soidiei -AlhiiH i<it iii ii>«r b j a i a'vnkt.- t „ i , -pukxiciii. flit* Icllowiug account vt the situation of affairs iu Nashville were tuinishtd the New 'link Herald, trom its correspondent, at thai place, under the date of the 25th ult: in Nsshvdle, the almost universal genti meot among the residents ia that the rebel army will return ihey continually act up on tin- idea, and reports are hourly circu lated ot this and that advantage famed bv the rebels over the Union iren With characteristic vigor, Gov Johnson has de tennined to stop the spread of false infor mation coming through rebel channels, and arrests have in consequence ber-n made of prominent personages here and in the vicin ity Instead of allaying public excitement, rtftr.ic aire-11 -cro. —li.

John son and Gen Dumontls military force The .Uuion demonstration last Monday was? under aii circumstances, a successful affair ; but some prominent quasi Unionists did not attend, and they have since express ed dissatisfaction at the steps Gov. Johnson is taking in making arrests. The arrest of ex-Gov. Neil S. Brown yesterday is exerci sing an influence in that direction. I do not, however, think, that Governor Johnson will be deterred from the performance of what he believes to be his duty, no matter what lukewarm Unionists, and certainly not by what notorious secessionists, say. What ever may occur in Nashville, whether it may overrun by fugitives from Corinth or Rich mond, or whether it may be preserved to the Government without another exercise of its power, you may rely upon it, Governor Johnson will not act the part of his prede cessor, lsham G. Harris, and flee inconti nently* A surprise is sometimes talked of, but Gen. Dumont is too vigilant to be caught napping, and with the force at his command, might, perhaps keep 5000 rebels iat bay until reinforced. But the deatruc j tion of the city would be the inevitable con- I sequences of an attempt to recapture it. The confiscation act, as proposed, is work ing hurtfully. 1 have the best authority for stating that thousands in the rebel army would cheerfully return to their allegiance if a general amnesty proclamation was is- I sued ; and thousands in the country would j declare for the Union if they were assured jof protection from predatory bands. Strong measures are demanded to this end, and tin authorities at Washington cannot act too and t<K> promptly in faciliaiing the operations of G< v. Johnson to root out these marauding hands.

Yesterday evening’s train from Chattanoo ga brought, to this place, to bo executed, Andrews, the leader of the engine Thieves, under sentence of death He was accom panied by three clergymen, and escorted by a guard. A considerable crowd followed to witness the execution. He was a native of Hancock county, Va., born in 1828, brought up by pious Presby terian parents, who now reside in South- Western Missouri. A good portion of his life had been spent in Fleming county, Ken tucky. He had no family, but was engaged to be married during this month He said he was induced to attempt the stealing of the engine under promise of a large reward by the Federals, and the privi lege of smuggling through from the North $5,000 worth of goods par month • that be did not intend to burn the bridges, but to take the engine to the Federals , and that Jje was not an cnemv to th*‘ Confederate government or people. He seemed to be very penitent—was com posed till he came on the scaffold, when a slight tremor was preceptible. These statements were made by Rev. Mr. Scott, at his request. Rev. Mr. Conyers offered up a feeling prayer. Rev. Mr. Con nor administered a few seasonable words of counsel. The three then took leave of him and he was launched into eternity.

Al . on Friday. 30th ult., with fourteen men and five days’ provisions, for a scout to the Eavt bank of the Aucilla river. At 7, P M., on Sunday, we reached the edge of the Aucilla Swamps when we picketed our hor ses, finding it impossible to take them any further. At 14 o’clock, A. M., Sunday, having secured a trusty jraide, we entered the swamp in an old tr&iL with days’ F uv: t/**.*' near the coast 35 possible. I made for a point about two miles from the mouth of the river, niue zuilea from our horses, and sixty-five from tny camp, which point we reached about 7, A M , Sunday, having waded moat of the way through mud and water When within half a mile of the river, we saw many signs of the enemy having been there. Leaving the squad in charge of Sergeant Leeter, I proceeded with the guide and one man to raake a reconnoissance of the river bank. We soon discovered smoke ahead, and after a cautious approach came on to the enemy’s camping ground, which he had left but a few hours previous, as their fires were still burniug, hero we found wood sawed up reudy to be taken aboard, Boston and New York papers dated as far back as November, and man}- other evidences that they had camped here for months, feeling perfectly se cure, as they have since told us that ’they did uot believe that white men could pene trate the swamp. Having brought up my men and made our camp close by, I deter mined to await their return. Placing my pickets half a mile below, and selecting a position ia which to meet them, I gave each mau his post so that he could be into it at a moment's warning. Thus we awaited their approach until 12 o'clock Monday, when my pickets from below reported “ The boats ar" coming.” In r.n instant ray men were at their post. Now uiy position was such, that it one of the boats succeeded in passing me they would cut me off, as the trail by which we entered the swamp, aud which was the only way we could get out, passed close bv where they cut wood, above, so I determined, as there were three boats bearing down on my little command, and had no means of knowing the number of men they contained, that justice to my men required me to make sure of the first boat, so 1 instructed my men at the report of iny pistol to fire a vol ley. Half a mile below my position the river made a curve, the wind being Die Iji t boat or cutter rounded iii*.* curve and on me up beautifully, her large sail hanging so low that it was impossible for me to tell how many men she had. 1 let her approach with in twenty steps, when I rose and fired my pistol aud my men their rifles. J immediate ly demanded a surrender —the euemy drop ped to tiie opposite side of the boat which threw up the side uext to us, thus conceal tug them entirely. Four muskets were raised over the edge of the boat, oue or two of which were fired without effect, (when we took them two had been dDeharged) my men then fired again, then I ordered them to ceaso firing. The boat then agreed to sur render, Two men were killed and two wounded iu this boat. Detailing Sergeant Croorn and three men to take the prisoners into the swamp., I pre pared to meet the other boats Moving my men further down the nver, as the nest boat came up I was m position to see that she had eight men. I permitted them to come up to within twenty paces, when I stepped out on the bank and demanded an immedi ate surrender. The enemy dropped into the boat just as the others had done, but comiDg down a little too hard she went clear over, eDiptyiDg men, arms, casks and all into the river* The officer of the boat called out that he surrendered ; —the men, however, struck for the opposite shore, but when 1 ordered them to return or I would have them shot, they all came back. The tide running out carried the casks, oars, seats, &c.. of this boat down the river, so that when the third boat rounded the curve, seeing the disaster that had occured to the others, she beaded for the other shore, and thought it not pru dent to come up in range of our rides. By this time I had a prisoner for each i T ,.x-n i bs-,i fVi Uatjaad liaviug nine acmes oi thick swamp to carry them through and but a narrow’, dim trail to travel, I thought it best to save what I had and get out of the swamp, before dark. Having no implements with which to dig a grave we covered the dead bodies up carefully in one of the boats and run it into a narrow creek. After se curing the other boat and secreting the arms, sails, oars, Ac., we took up the line of march for our horses, and reached them about sun set. I immediately made an arrangement with my guide and some other citizens to jeturn and bury the dead, and convey the boats, arms, Ac., to a place of safety, ail of which I am happy to state has been accom plished, the party reporting that the enemy had not visited the place since I left.— Each boat had four muskets and each man Lad a revolver. The muskets of the fir-t boat we secured, but the men dropped their revolvers overboard. The arms of the sec ond boat were lost when she capsized, but 1 VOLUME XL— NO 13. have ma’de an amnueroent by wL s ch IL< i to Svcure all the arms.
