i text of this campaign's strategy In training schools as the best the world has ever produced in ancient or modern warfare. Thomas Jonathan Jackson was "dubbed" Stonewall by General Bema-rd Bee in a mere remark Just before he wielded up his noble life at First Manassas. Jackson had been made Major-general Oct. 7, 1861. and in Januarv.

1862, made a bold dash to Rom-ney end Bath (now W. and his men suffered much. This was follovted, on March 23. by an attack on Federals at Kernstown, near Winchester, where he suffered his only defeat, but he carried off all the fruits of a victory. Thus began the famous "Valley campaign which culminated in complete victory at Fort Republic.

The Confederate Veterans of the grand old Stonewall Jackson camp at Staunton and the Augus ta Memorial association always saw to it "rain or that this date, June 9, was celebrated as Staunton and Augusta Memorial day. The writer heard many a "clash" in the olden days among such Veterans as G. Julian Pratt, Captains McFarland, Ranson, Opie, and others, when some younger member proposed a change of df.te. May it "some sweet day" get back to the former date, to commemorate the Port Republic victory, which, we are sad to know, started the burials in the Confederate section of Thornrose cemetery here, from McDowell and Port Republic, but most of the dead are from the Port Republic field, followed in '64, by those removed from the Piedmont fields, around New Hop. History also shows, that, following the Battle of Port Republic, the patriotic ladies of Staunton and the near community "round strewed flowers upon the graves of Confederates from the culminating battle of Jackson's Valley This was the first (1862), North or South.

The North borrowed the idea from the ladies here, but called their efforts, "Decoration while the South always called the occasions. Memorial Days." Now, the nation calls May 30 "National Memorial Day," Let us be proud that the beautiful custom started in Staunton. From the camp In Swift Run gap, the following thirty-two days were the most strenuous known In modern warfare, and Jackson's "foot cavalry" went through it all with a minimum of loss. Me dium's river and McDowell were the only points- reached actually out of the "Valley." The Brown's gap Mechum's river Staunton -McDowell-Mossy Creek Harri sonburg Front Royal Winchester Port Republic In one month was the greatest marching fight lng campaign known to history. Study that and bear the writer out comprehensively! In the latter thirty-two days of the "Valley Campaign" "Thunderbolt" Jackson, with his "foot Cavalry" marched more than 400 miles, skirmished almost daily, fought five major battles, defeated three armies captured twenty pieces of artillery, took 4,000 prisoners, besides Immense stores of all kinds (mostly from "Quatermaster" N.

B. Banks, did all this with a loss of fewer than 1.000 men killed, wounded, and missing, and with a force of only 15,000, while there were at least 60,000 opposing him of the different "Yankee" armies at tempting to hem his In. He (Jack son) had spread consternation throughout the North, and had neutralized 40,000 at Fredericks burg, who were about to march on General R. L. Lee at Richmond to aid McClellan still In the Chickahominey swamps below Rich mond, fearing to come out on ac count of the "Ubiquitous The Federal armies In the "Val and rendered use less for season, Lee called Jack son to Richmond to thunder against McClellan in a series of battles which again saved the capital of the Confederacy.

The strategy of Jackson's "Valley campaign" to show how one army may "more than, triple" the enemy is used In military training schools as a text on warfare, the world over. And yet there Is no halo of glory In the clash of arms, save In defense of our fire sides. This "Valley campaign saved this part of the Valley from anything so formidable for nearly 2 years thereafter, or until 1864. May history never repeat itseii! WALTER LEE KERR. R.
