The Daily Dispatch: April 19, 1862., [Electronic resource], The late Gen. A. H. Gladden. (search)
to the literary public of Virginia and the South, and at present editor of the Southern Literary Messenger. In that periodical they originally appeared; at once attracting and sustaining throughout the series a degree of attention quite unusual.--They abound in dry humor and caustic shrewdness of remark upon the manners of the day. There is a vein of irony running through them which betrays a habit of keen and close observation and a high relish for the ludicrous. No writer has succeeded so well in imitating the peculiar dialect of the uneducated classes of Virginia, which is entirely distinct from that of any other people of whom English is the vernacular. Mozie in his rough garb and uncouth speech is a philosopher upon whose homely common sense no claptrap or humbug can impose. This book is a Virginia book in every sense of the word, and is eminently worthy of Virginia patronage. It is published by West & Johnston, and can be had, we presume, at any of the bookstores.

New Publications. Messrs. West & Johnston have just published the "Life of James W. Jackson, of Alexandria," who slayed the Yankee Colonel Elisworth upon his removal of the Confederate flag from the roof of the Marshall House, kept by Jackson. He was immediately afterwards killed by the Yankee soldiers who attended their Colonel when he ascended to the top of the House. He is properly styled the first martyr in the cause of independence. This history of his life has received the approval of Henry W. Thomas, Esq., First Auditor of Virginia, who was a brother-in-law of the lamented hero. He says that the author has "portrayed graphically and truthfully the many stirring incidents in his truly wonderful career." The book is published for the benefit of the Jackson family. We have received from Messrs. West & Johnston a small volume entitled, "Manual of Arms for Heavy Infantry, with Loadings and Firings," issued from the press of Evans & Cogswell, Charleston.

required the exercise of more than ordinary ingenuity to construe, as the signers of the above-named report have done, the unofficial letter of the lamented Gen. A. S. Johnston, dated March 18th, as an expression of his approval of the surrender of Fort Donelson. In a spirit of magnanimity, he speaks in general terms of his confiding to testimony taken by the committee, were able and eager to cut their way, if need be, out of the lines of the enemy. In the same unofficial letter of Gen. Johnston, he uses the following language, which certainly forbids the construction placed upon the words incorporated in the report to which this is a response. He saywithdraw without sacrificing the army. On the 14th, I ordered Gen. Floyd, by telegram, "if he lost the fort, to get his forces back to Nashville." Whether Gen. Johnston found in the circumstances attending the affair at Donelson a sufficient reason for the failure of the General in command to execute this order, is not stated
