The Valley Campaign of Stone-wall Jackson.

An audience filling the entire body of Sanders Theatre assembled last evening to listen to the recital of one of the most remarkable campaigns of the Civil war, and it was given with such grace and ease, combined with thorough knowledge of the situation, that the attention of the audience was kept at a high degree of interest. Many amusing incidents and patriotic references were cited, which kept the audience in pleasant communion with the speaker. Major Hotchkiss began by stating that there are three things in a campaign that are important. 1. The topography of the field of action. 2. Purposes of campaign. 3. The results. The first was carefully shown upon the blackboard, and the latter two were so ably discussed that the listener came to agree with the lecturer, that Jackson was a great general and that if it were not for his timely strategy, drawing as it did Gen. McClellan's troops from advancing upon Richmond, the Confederacy would have certainly succumbed sooner than it did.
