Southern Statesmen and Generals

The New York correspondent OF the
Augusta ConstitutionaliSt writes down his
opinions in the following sketch as to how
the Southern leaders Of the war are re.
garded in the North at this time:
With such indices to future public opin-
ions before us, it is interesting to observe
the state of opinion here respecting the
various leaders Of the South. AS to the
generals of the South, intelligent public
opinion with US differs materially from
that prevailing at the South. Jefferson
Davis is regarded as man of great abili-
ty and not at all obnoxious to the charges
made against him by Col. Jordan and his
friends. His only great mistake was per
haps his idea Of an "offensive-defensive"
policy. If Mr. Lincoln had possessed q
titho of Mr.. Davis executive capacity
and military judgment, the South would
have been crushed in 1862, before it thor
oughly understood the weight Of force
being brought against it, when Sidney
Johnson could muster but IA, 900 against
$4,000, and Joe Johnston but $4,000
against l6O, 900. But Mr. Davis, who did
so many things well, finally made a blum
der which lost him his cause. He dis
placed Johnston with Hood before At
lanta and provided Gen. Sherman with
the only possible favorable solution to his
campaign. Gen. Grant had come to re-
gard Sherman's position with the greatest
solicitude but when the new tactics that
came in with Hood were discovered, he
expressed the greatest satisfaction.
Of Southern officers, Johnston is, [
think, regarded as the greatest general
Lee the best field officer, but lacking
Johnston's comprehension of the princi-
pies of great campaign. As to Stone
wall Jackson, the Southern people need
feel no surprise that he is not regarded in
the same light, even from q cold, critical
military standpoint, as he is at the South.
Longstreet, Picket and Kirby Smith stand
high.
With respect to the great battles of the
war, Northern men will admit but one
positive disgrace-that is, the battle OF
charlottesville, and but one absolute
rout-that of Chickamauga. 1t is as
tonishing how much Gen. Bragg was ira
duced, when he, alone, absolutely routed
Federal army. The Herculean efforts
put forth by the Federals to save the
remnant of Rosecranz's army ut Chatta-
nooga, compelled them to suspend mill.
tary operations at all other points, and
gave the South time to recover from
Gettysburg and Vicksburg, just as Lee,
driving Mcclellan from before Richmond,
nullifod the advantages gained by the
Federals at New Orleans and Donelson,
except that Braggs victory was marked
by no such useless murder as at Malvern
Hill.

A MARVELLOUS TRAvELER.-The st.
Louis Republican says: We hadyesterday
visit from the celebrated pedestrian ira
weller, Frederick Schaefer, of Hesse Cas-
sci, Germany, whose occupation for the
past thirteen years has been that of 60
ing to and fro over the earth, and walking
up and down in it, to the extent Of some
seventy-fve thousand miles, two-thirds OF
that whole distance on footl He seems
to have been early seized with disposi-
ton to perambulate the planet, and will
probably walk till he walks off of it. He
is now on his way foot to California,
where he expects to step upon the first
convenient ship that will drift him to the
coast of Asia, and then to walk over ST.
IBERIA and Russia to his cabin in Hesse
Cassel He has in this style already plod-
ded his way through the principal divis-
ions of Southern Europe, Asia and Africa
and only ten months ago began to do the
Western hemisphere. His last grand
point of departure was St. Paul. This
bipedal locomotive is only thirty years
old, and may yet live to weep for more
worlds" to walk over Though short in
stature, he has a prodigious chest, and
though afflicted with malformation of the
spine, is evidently of tough physique
He carries volume well stocked with
testimonials and autographs of distin-
guished personages, notices by the press,
ETC., etc., and expects some day to pub
lish an account of his travels-in prospect
of which he keeps diary. AS to means,
ho is-an umbrella repairer, but appears to
be generally received and entertained as
a public guest, and we think "the world
owes him living" at least.

= Mrs. James Keith Taylor, the sister
of Chief Justice Marshall, at a very ad-
vanced age, beloved and vcnerated by all
around, is still living, and resides in Fau-
quier county, Virginia.
= A recent letter from Decatur, Ala
bama, states as the result of the observa-
ton of the writer in North Alabama and
Middle Tennetsee that the cotton crop,
although an unusually great breadth of
land has been planted, is likely to be
almost complete failure, owing to the
worthlessness of the seed, which was
from two to four years old, and an un-
propitious season.
= William Weir and Jacob Bell, Jr, of
New York, and Douglas Grant, q son of
the General, have been appointed to the
Military Academy at West Point by the
President.

Courier says the new Freedmen's Bureau
bill was discussed in the House to-day
Section six, as reported by the committee,
provides that when owners apply for the
restoration of lands allotted negroes by
Gen. Sherman, the Bureau shall rent or
purchase other lands for said negroes. Mr..
Stevens moved an amendment, to the ef-
feet that the Bureau shall refuse to sur
render sea-island lands to former owners,
which was adopted by vote of 79 yeas
to 46 nays. The bill will certainly pass.
The Senate will reduce the proposed
cotton tax from five to three cents per
pound. A strong commercial pressure to
accomplish this purpose has been brought
to bear upon the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The interest in
the reconstruction measure has manifestly
diminished. There are hardly dozen
Senators present. Small audience.
Some Of the Eastern banks will soon be
called upon to reduce the amount OF cur
reney now held by them,in order to eS-
tend banking privileges to other States,
where these facilities are sadly needed.
The military commission engaged In the
preliminary examination into the conduct
of Lieut. Col. Paulding, after a full and
thorough hearing Of all the facts, are of
the opinion that he ought to be tried by a
military court for disobedience of orders,
in paying Government funds in the Mer-
chants National Bank, and have accord
ingly sent their finding to the Secretary
OF War.
