We record today the death of Sgt. James JACKSON, an old veteran of the War of 1812-13. He died morn. of 11th inst., age 88 and his remains were followed to the Cemetery Sunday last. Sgt. JACKSON was a native of Stockport, England where he enlisted at an early age in the 4th Batt. Royal Artillery; the battalion being on service at Quebec at the commencement of hostilities between the U.S. and Great Britain - he participated in almost every engagement along the Frontier, particularly at the battle of Queenstown Heights, where he commanded a half battery of Artillery. After the death of Gen. BROCK and the abandonment of the field by the enemy, they being repulsed from that point and retreated to Drummondsville, he harrassed them severely in the rear with his field pieces. When they halted and formed in line of battle at the head of Lundylane, he brought up his battery and did good service. On the enemies' restrest to Chipewn he still kept at their rear and recaptured the Garrison guns from the Militia in the morn; for which gallant exploites he was twice thanked in General Orders by Lieut. Gen. Provost, Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in B.N.A. His next exploit was at Fort Erie (of Fenian notoriety in later days) where he assisted in the capture of that fortress and narrowly escaped by being killed by the blowing up of part of the fortification, which had been mined by the enemy before evacuating it. A few men were killed among whom was Lieut. DeVEBER of New Brunswick. He was appointed to command the Fort by the Officer commanding the District. The enemy tried to recapture it afterwards by a Flotilla of ninety boats filled with troops. They advanced in three lines at half distance. Sgt. JACKSON waited until the first line came within 20 yards of the shore, when he opened fire on it with grape and cannister and annihilated it; he served the second line with similar dose which drove them in confusion onto the third line and compelled them to retire. The fort, however, was afterwards captured by an overwhelming force and he and his men made prisoners of war. For these services he received the thanks of H.R.H. the Duke of York in general orders which were ordered to be read at the head of each Regiment in B.N.A. He remained a prisoner until the Treaty of Peace when he was sent to Woolwich and discharged on the reduction of the army in 1814. He afterwards emigrated to Canada where he received a commission in the 7th Regt. of Militia from the Gov. General which commission he held until his death. A vacancy having occurred in the Barrack Department of the Garrison, St. Andrews, he was appointed and held it until failing health caused him to resign. H.M. Queen Victoria issued an order to the Lord Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital, 21st Feb. 1874, by which he was in recepit of 1s 3d sterling per day until the time of his death. We have condenced this brief sketch of the service of this fine old hero from his private records. He leaves an aged widow and sons to mourn their loss.
