. NEW ORLEANS LA Friday Innn z 1907

NEW ORLEANS, La, Friday, June Z, 1867.
To the Editor Of the Neao Orleans Times:
. In your paper of yesterday 1 notice the fol-
lowing paragraph, viz. !: There is another ex
traordinary case exhibited IN the publication of
a letter from one of the bravest and stoutest of
the late Confederate generals, who gives in his
adhesion TO a party whose whole policy seems
to be one of vindictive persecution and abuse
of his late confederates in arms"
think this paragraph is calculated to mis-
lead the public as to my views and my motives.
1t my letter had been published with the
structures, should have had no cause Oh COM
plaint. Or If you had explained that ITS whoie
tenor was expressive of o desire to relieve my
slate coniederates in arms" OF the unnatural
condition in which they have been placed by
the progress of revolution, L should offer no
complaint or explanation upon your COM
ments l.FaFt
= am we'll satisfied that order cannot be ORR
ginated out of confusion as long as the con-
fiicting interests of two parties are to be sub
served. The war was made upon repuDncan
| issues and it seems to me fair anu just tnat
the settlement should be made accordingly
This conviction, together with the views ex-
nressed in nv letter. and your Invitation, In
| March last. TO express my opinion upon poll
| tics are nv excuses for speaking and for max
| in@ the Concessions that think due, and for
| ofiaring nv counsel to the people.
re Understand the object of politics, it is to
| raI;avo The distress OF the people and to pro-
vide for their future comfort The course that
| + odyise will be sure to meet this view and do
| iustice to all. In times of great ease and COM
| comfort should not presume to interfere with
| polities no matter what techncalities or spe-
eial pleadings might be adopted by parties.
| But these are unusual times, and call for
| practical advice.
| Ii the paragraph that I have quoted had ref
erence to my letter, I ask that you will do me

Thpit on it.

A good story has been told OF
lisping officer in the Army, having
been victimized by a brother ofhcer
NOTED for his cool deliberation and
his strong nerves. and his getting
square with him in the following man.
ner. The cool joker, the captain, was
always joking the lisping officer, a lieu
tenant, for his nervousness:
@Why," said he one day in presence
of his company, nervousness is all
nonsense; I tell you no brave man
will be nervous"
"Well," inquired his lisping friend,
chow would you do Impose thell
with an inch futh thould drop itthelf
in walled angle, in which you had
taken thelter from company of tharp
thooters, and where it wath thertain
if you put your nose out you'd get
peppered ?"
allow ?" said the captain, winking
at the circle, "why, take it cool and
SplJ on Cne IuSe.
The party broke up and all retired
except the patrol. The next morning
a number of officers were assembled
on the parade and talking in clusters,
when along came the lisping lieutenant
Lazily opening his eyes he remarked ::
II want to try an experiment thith
morning and thee how exceedingly
cool you can be-"
Saying this, he walked deliberately
into the captains quarters, where a
fire was burning on the hearth, and
placing in the center a powder CAMS
ter, instantly retreated. There was
but one mode of egress from the quar-
tiers, and that was upon the parade
ground, the road being built up for
defence. The occupant took one look
at the canister, comprehended the
situation and in q moment dashed at
the door, but it was fastened on the
outside.
81 say, Charlie, let me out if you
love me-"
"Thpit on the canithter shouted
he in return.
Not a moment was to be lost. He
had first caught up blanket to cover
his egress, but now, dropping it, he
raised the window and out he bound
ed, sans cutlotes, sans everything but {
very short under garment; and thus
with hair almost on end, he dashed
upon the parade ground. The shou
which hailed him called out the whole
barracks to see what was the matter
and the digniied captain pulled &;
sergeant in front of him to hide him
self"
"Why didn't you thpit on it ?" ask
ed the lieutenant.
because there were no sharpshoot
ers in front to stop a retreat" an
swered the captain.
"All | have to thay, then, 18th tina
you might thafely have done it, for
thware there wath.not a grain of pow
der in it"
The captain has never spoken Of
nervousness since.
