The martyr Jackson.
--We are glad to understand that subscriptions are being made in Richmond, for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of the first martyr in the cause of Southern independence, Mr. James W. Jackson, of Alexandria. We endorse most cordially the movement, and trust that in a short time the amount will have grown so large by the added tributes of the million as to warrant the notation of the event by the erection of a column which may defy the hand of time, and also be sufficient in amount to provide comfortably for the family of the deceased patriot. We see by the exchanges that the movement for honoring Mr. Jackson's memory and providing for his family is general throughout the Confederacy. It could not be otherwise.
