THE ANTECEDRNTs OF GENERAL
THOMAS rG


The New Orleans Times Of the Dist inst.
referring to the removal of Sheridan, and
the succession TO his place by Gen. Thomas
thus speaks of the antecedents of the
latter:
II is as yet an unexplained portion of
the history of this able commander how,
that an officer Of the old army who was
regarded as a gentleman of extreme South
ern views, a politician of the Virginia
school, and who declared and manifested a
more earnest sympathy for the movement
for Southern independence at lis COM
mencement, than any other officer Of equal
rank in the old army, should have sud-
denly, TO the great establishment of his old
friends, turned up the strongest, most efiec-
tive and pertinacions of the military chiefs
who led the armies that conquered and
suppressed the rebellion. The character
and life Of Gen. Thomas repel any impu
tation Of unworthy purposes in the sudden
change, and increase the curiosity to learn
the real motive aui reason therefor.
A native of Southampton county, Nir-
ginia, George II. Thomas imbibsd and
cherished through his whole life, previous
to the late war; warm attachment TO Nir-
ginia ideas, politics and institutions, and
especially TO the institution of slavery, the
movement against which had been defeated
by the sanguinary insdrrection which oc
Cured in his native county in 1880. After
that bloody incident the emancipation
movement in Virginia, which had become
very strong, 50 much so that in the Legis-
lature proposition introduced the wear
before the insurrection, looking TO that
measure, was only defeated by one vote,
could never be revived. The belief In
General Thomas earnest devotion to
Southess ideas and politics was so
streng that when the Virginia Con-
vention was ia session in 1861 his
name was conspicuous as one of the fu
ture chiefs, if not the principal commander,
Of the Virginia forces which the conyen-
ton proposed to put in the field H
was warmly supported for the Office, al
forwards held by General Garnett, VIII
was killed in the campaigns in West Nir-
gina, Of Adiutant General of the Virginia
forces. AT that time, whilst the more con-
servative ideas and characters of Lee,
Johnston, and others of the old army of
Virginia birth-were regarded by the po-
litical leaders Of secession with some doubt
and distrust, Garnett and Thomas were be-
lievsd 70 come up to the mark Of extreme
ultraism in their ideas Of State sovereignty
and of the policy of Southern independence.
There is a mystery, We repeat, in regard to
the sudden change of General Thomas
views which the future historian and his
ownbiographer can alone solve"

rs RnOrH AIIYEP


The Buffalo Courier admits that IFS faith
ia the death OF John Wilkes B9oth has
been very decidedly shaken; first, by the
narrative which recently appeared in the
Louisville Journal, and was copied into
this paper, and second, Tor the following
reason :
A few weeks since, at the time when
Booths diary was raked out of the recesses
of the War Department, a correspondent
Of the New York World undertook to prove
BY internal evidence, that the record was q
forgery. We took up the point and showed,
to our own satisfaction at least, also from
internal evidence, that the diary was genu-
inc, The day our article appeared gen
tleman called upon us-one whom we well
knew, whose word, 80 far as our experience
goes, is inviolate, and who has led rowing
life for several years-and entered into
conversation on the subject Of the diary.
He supported the theory Of The correspon-
dent Of the World. As he was stubborn in
his views, and We, on our part, had spent
some time In the elaboration Of our argu-
ment TO the contrary, and are rot distin-
guished for amiability when disputed, the
discussion soon assumed heated tone
Our arguments, however, were too strong
for our opponent. From point to point
we drove him, but to our surprise be
gave no evidence of conviction that the
diary was genuine. Finally, when it be-
came evident that, reasoning from internal
evidence, he had nothing left to stand upon,
he suddenly asked, Would you believe
the diary Booths production if Booth were
alivep The batteries of our ridicule were
at once opened upon 50 absurd a SUPPOSE
ton, until our friend quietly said 81
know Wilkes Booth well, and have seen
him within six months p He at once
seemed annoyed that the confession had
escaped him in the heat of argument, aud
would say nc more on the subject, but ex-
acted no promiss of secrecy from us. His
name, however, we should not divulge, as
a matter Of course. As we said, the gen.
tleman who made this extraordinary state
ment is one whom we have long known,
and in whose word we have entire conf
dence. The possibility of his being mis-
taken is our only refuge from belief in the
present existence Of Wilkes Booth, and
our readers have now before them our two
reasons for doubling his death.

ST. LOUIS, August 24.-An Omaha dis
patch says information has been received
that General Cook, about four weeks ago,
came upon camp of Indians in the
Puebla mountains, surrounded and killed
nearly all of them. Subsequently, another
camp, about eight miles from Fort War
rem, was found and served in the manner.
Fifty Indians were killed altogether. The
Boise Indians from Warm Springs, under
Captain Darragh, did the fighting, backed
the United States troops. 3F8I
Coaches traverse the Smoky Hill route
now without molestation.
The Omaha branch of the Union Pacific
railroad is completed five hundred and
forty miles.
A Cairo dispatch says the strike on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad continues. No
trains are allowed to run either way. Some
engineers were sent down from the
Illinois Central railroad, but the strikers
would not let them work. No violent or
riotous proceedings have occurred.

and brakesmen had declined TO 60 to work,
and would not allow any trains to pass the
station. The same state Of affairs prevails
all over the road, arising, il is stated, from
the fact that the employees have not re

No disturbance has taken place, the en-
gineers simply declaring that they would
not fire up. Passengers from this city can
