Speech of Gov. Jackson, of Missouri.

After the cheers which greeted the Governor had somewhat subsided, he addressed the assembly as follows: My friends of Virginia and of the Southern Confederacy, who have assembled here tonight, I greet you with the warmth of an overflowing heart. Had not similar scenes on my way to this place, in demonstration of the interest of the Southern people in the cause in which I am engaged, accustomed me to them, this kind reception might have taken me by surprise. I take it, however, as no compliment to myself personally. I think I understand very well this demonstration

Jackson, and myself were marched in front of the train. Gen. Garnett, now anticipating an attack from Gen. Hill, (as I understood,) also placed Capt. Shoemaker wimy regiment again in the rear. We remained in line for a considerable time, but the enemy not appearing, and receiving no orders from any one, we marched off, Col. Jackson immediately preceding my regiment. It was the determination of Col. Jackson and myself to fight the enemy at that ford of the river, if he made further puCol. Jackson and myself to fight the enemy at that ford of the river, if he made further pursuit. At the time of the attack the Georgia Regiment was in the rear, of which seven of the companies were cut off from the Balance of the command, and made their way through the mountain no this place. The other three companies fell back upon Colonel Tallaferro's Regiment, at which point one of Capt. Shoemaker's pieces, in cha

Jackson, Colonel of the Wood mill in under the regular State Government of Virginia. Jackson had been a strong Union man and Pierpont thought he was an adherent of thular State Government of Virginia.

position taken by Hampton's Legion, whose prowess can clearly be shown by the heaps of dead in front of their line, a momentary check was thrown in the enemy's approach. They had now retreated to the brow of the hill, where the brigade of Gen. Jackson was lying perdu, and this was the most critical point of the day. Fighting for hours under a not sun, without a drop of water near, the conduct of our men could not be excelled; but human endurance has its bounds, and all seemed about to be loth a grape shot just as Col. Kershaw was within twenty yards of him for the purpose of receiving orders. His plan of cutting them off was, consequently, not carried out, and they were enabled to rejoin the main body, hotly pursued by our men. Gen. Jackson's Brigade had been lying for hours sustaining with unflinching courage a most terrific fire. The General had his horse shot under him. and a finger of the left hand shot off, but cool as a cucumber he still urged his "boys" to be "steady," an

At last his own brigade dwindled to a mere handful, with every field officer killed or disabled. He rode up to Gen. Jackson and said: "General, they are beating us back." The reply was: "Sir, we'll give them the bayonet" Gen. Bee immediately rallied the remnant of his brigade, and his last words to them were: "There is Jackson standing like a stone wall. Jackson standing like a stone wall. Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer. Follow me!" His men obeyed the call; and, at the head of his column, the very moment when the battle was turning in our favor, he fell, mortally wounded. Gen. Beauregard was heard to say he had never seen such gallantry. He never murmured at his suffering, but seemed to be consoled by the reflection that he was doing his duty. "victory or death."
