Jaclfou's health wap bo much
fdiatteréd by this campaign that lie
waB-awnjielled fo resign. He necept-
<¡d a £rofesnor.sliiji at tlie Military
Institute, where he continued until
the fleccssian of Virginia. In height,
ho is about six feet, with a weight of
•'fbont ono hundred and eighty, lie
id miity afi remarkable for his moral
11É ho has proven himself to be for his
fighting qualities—being a perfectly
conscientious mn, just in all his
ways, and irreproachable jn bin deal-
ings with his fellow wen. It, is said
ho ia a fatalist, as Napoleon was,
and has no fear that he ean be killed
before his time comes. He is ascnlin
in the midst of a hurricane of bullets
as ho was in the pew of his church
at Lexington, when lie was professor,
of the Institute. He appears to be a
man of almost superhuman endurance.
Neither heat nor cold .makes the
slightest impression upon him. He
• ares nothing for good quarters and
dainty fare. Wrapped in his blanket
he throws himself down on the ground
anywhere, and sleeps as souinjly as.
though he were in a palace. He
lives as the soldiers live, and endures
, all the fatigue and all the suffering
that they endure. His vigilance
is something marvellous. He never
uuems to Bleep, and lets Nothing pass
without his personal scrutiny. lie
can neither be caught napping nor
whipped when he is wide awake.
Thy rapidity of his marches, is some-
thing portentous. He is heard ol by
the mieiny at one poi ut, and before
they can make up their minds to fol-
low liiin, he is oil' at another, llis
men have little baggage, and he
moves, as nearly as ho can, without
encumborance. Ho keeps so constant-
ly in motion that he never lúó u
sick list, and no need of hosjntals.
In theao habits, and in a will as dfc-
- Uirmiued as that of Julius Caesar,
read the secret of his great suc-
cess. His molí adore him because
lie requires them todo nothing which
he does not do himself, because he
¡£ .constantly^l..'.adAi Umuu. to victory,
v and iccfWWWi.ihvy see- ho is a great
... soldier. )].'■' 'f,
COUNTY OültliKNüY^' •
The Tyler Reporter Says the
couuty court of that county has adopt-
ed the following judicious and sound
basis fur tho issue of a currency :
"A large amount of hills, ranging
from 25 cents to five dollars, has
been issued by the Court. These
bills are based on Confederate Notes,
and are just as good. They are only
given out in change for Confederate
money or its equivilont, and conse-
quently tho Confederate money is
always on hand for their redemption.
They"will pay the war tax as well as
tbd Confederate) money, and serve in
HjH business transactions as Confede-
rate money. The people of adjoining
countieB need not hesitate to. receive
and use theBe bills, because they aro
not only backed by the integrity of
the couuty but doljar for dollar by
Confederate Notes In tho treasury of
our county."
ThiB mode of making small change,
by the County Court of Smith county
is the best we have 'heard of, and
should be adopted by tho. county
courts generally. The great incon-
venience the people have been placed
at, frr the want of small change, has
caused tbe issuance of many warth-
less shinplasters, and if the' counties
^generally, would pursue the same
plan as adopted by Smith-county, we
could do .away with individual shin-
plasters. A cotomporary suggests,
that in order to render this scheme
perfect, and to guard,the public against
¿Jo , there ought to be a safe deposi-
tory established,and the uartics hand-
the money should by placed
„ heavy bond.
_t would certainly bo to thb inter-
est of Washington county, if its com-
missioners would authorise the is-
auance of couaty script, as low as lü
,cents and have it printed on better
and more durable paper than the
warrants now issued.—Ranger.
