11. XI.

Another anecdote of Jackson—but this one, I fear, has erept
into print. Some readers, however, may not have seen it.

After Port Republic, the General was riding along the line
when he heard the following colloquy between two soldiers of
the Stonewall Brigade.

“Curse the Yankees! I wish they were in hell, every one of
them!”

“I don't.”

“Why don't you?”

“Because if they were, Old Jack would be following 'em up
close, with the old Stonewall Brigade in front!”

Jackson's face writhed into a grin; from his lips a low laugh
issued; but he rode on in silence, making no comment.
