STONEWALL JACKSON'S GRAVE – We observe that a movement has been set on foot by the survivors of General Jackson's staff to erect an appropriate monument over his grave at Lexington, Virginia. This movement will commend itself to his admirers among whom there are many who were not of his army. Immediately after the death of the general a large fund was raised by the troops of his corps for this worthy purpose but was deposited in bank and lost – The present undertaking meets with the approval and cooperation of Mrs. Jackson who it is said has offered to devote all she can of her small fortune to its accomplishment. True it needs no marble to perpetuate the fame of her husband, but it is fitting that the spot of earth which holds his ashes should be endurably marked for posterity. This movement is not confined to ex- soldiers contributions will be gladly received from all his friends and admirers. People in Maryland or elsewhere North who desire to assist are requested to send their subscriptions to Major H Kyd Douglas, at Hagerstown – Among others a gentleman in New York has already tendered his check for $l00 – Hagerstown (Md) Free Press |
