Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson having lost his left arm, has left his command in charge of Gen. J. E. B. Stuart. He in en route home, on temporary leave of absence.—He received the wound during the terrific fight Saturday night. During a pause in the fight, he rode, accompanied by his staff and Gen. A. P. Hill, to the front, by a narrow and circuitous path. His force was then in the enemy’s rear. Returning in a gallop, our men supposing them to be Yankees, fired, wounding the General in the left arm, breaking the bones below and above the elbow. One shot also passed through his right hand. He threw up his hands signaling them to stop, as he did not then desire to have the attack recommenced, but they did not perceive it in time. One of his couriers was killed at the came time, and a Captain of his staff, name not remembered, wounded. He is accompanied by his staff, and bears his casualty without a murmur, regarding it as one of the accidents of war.—His wound is by no means serious, and he will doubtless be ready again for duty in the course of a month or two.
