Gen. Longstreet Again. ~
| The General explains his former
letter rs follows:
To the Editor of Tie Ne,c Orleans
Times:
In your paper of yesterday, I no.
tice the following paragraph: "Ihere
is another very extraordinary case
exhibited in the publication of let
ter from one Of the bravest and
stDutest of the late Confederate gene
rails, who gives in his adhesion to n
party whose whole policy seems to
be one of vindictive persecution and
abuse of his late confederates in
arms"
L think that this paragraph is cal
culated to mislead the public rs to
my views and my motives. If my
letter had been published with the
structures, [ should have had no cause
of complaint; OF if you had ex-
planned that its whole tenor was q
desire to relieve my "late confede-
rates in arms" of the unnatural con-
dition in which they have been
placed by the progress of revolution,
Snou1u oueI Ho CoHll)llluU OF eApla-
nation upon your comments.
/ am well satisfied that order can
not be organized out Of confusion, rs
long as the conflicting interests of
the two parties are to be subserved.
The war was made upon Republican
issues, and it seems to me fair and
just that the settlement should be
made accordingly.
The conviction, together with the
views expressed in my letter, and
your invitation, in March last, to
express my opinion upon politics, arc
my excuses for speaking and for
making the concessions that 1 think
due, and for offering my counsel to
the people.
If understand the object OF poll
tics, it is to relieve the distress of the
people, and to provide for their fu-
ture comfort. The course that [
advise will be sure to meet their
view, and do justice to all. In times
of great ease and comfort, L should
not presume to interfere with poll
tics, no matter what technicalities or
special pleadings might be adopted
by parties. But these are unusual
times. and call for practical advice.

Colorado is in a ferment. The
Indians are sweeping all before them,
killing men and women, robbing
mails, stampeding cattle, and fright
ening the people so much that their
ranches are being deserted by the
dozen. Large numbers of Indians
are reported on the way from the
North. The whites complain bitter
ly that Sherman has sent his; troops
300 miles away, and left the route
unprotected. The authorities, Gov.
Hunt, Secretary Hall, Chief Justice
Hallet, and others, have petitioned
the President, in the strongest terms,
to grant them protection. t
A Canadian, at- Hamilton, suggests
new flag for the New Dominion.
He proposes the Union Jack in the
corner and the rest of the bunting
filed in with four colors, red, white,
blue and green. On the shield it
is proposed that the beaver take the
place of the three lions passant and
that the maple leaf should be en-
twined with the rose, the shamrock
and the thistle.

The French and English postal
authorities have under consideration
the establishment of an international
system of money orders between their
respective countries The idea ap-
pears to be q good one, and might
probably be extended to the United
States to meet the wants of emigrants

Government insists on carving the

The Memphis appeal, of the 18th,
commenting upon the outrages com

the enrolment of conservative men
in regular military organization,

these are fit to be trusted, to keep
the peace in spite of them, where
they are not; and to overawc the
turbulent elements that threaten civil
commissions.

WE ARE GETTING RECONSTRUCTED.
The President has gone to Boston
Upon invitation, where he will be the
guest of the city. We also learn,
from our Northern exchanges, that
he has received invitations to become
the guest Of the State Governments
Of Connecticut and Rhode Island,
and the cities of New Haven and
Hartford, III the former State, and
Newport, in tho latter State, and also
Springfield, Mass. Gov. English, of
Connecticut, and staff, will meet the
President at New Haven, as he passes
through the State. Upon his return
from Boston, he will pass through
Rhode Island, and remain day or
two at Newport, where he will be re.
ceived by Gov. Burnside.
This treatment stands in pleasing
contrast with the petty conduct Of
the authorities of Philadelphia, and
indicates a revival Of good feeling
between the authorities and people
OF the Northern States and cities.

LOOKER-ON.


HE SOUTH AND The REPUBLICANS
PErY.-The Richmond Wig, in
speaking Of registration and the duty
of the people of Virginia in regard
to it, has the following very sensible
remarks:
Congress rules the Government,
and the Republican party rules Con-
gress. That party we, therefore, have
to convince, satisfy and conciliate.
No other party has, or is likely to
have, power over us. If we seek to
satisfy any other party, or to carry
out our preferences merely, without
consulting the views or meeting the
exactlons Of the dominant party, we
will inevitably fail in what we desire
70 accomplish, viz: the rehabilitation
OF the State. We therefore admo-
nish the people of Virginia to be cir
cumspect, cautious and wise, and to
approach ;he great subject before
them with clear heads and cool tenn
pers, and deal with it as the great
business affair upon which all other
business affairs are dependent, MAX
ing up their minds so to act in refer
ence TO it rs to secure and promote
the present and future welfare of this
afflicted Commonwealth. Are we pre-
pared to become unconditional Union
men? Are we prepared, for the pre-
sent, to waive the high seats, and to
be conten1 to cooperate i'll the work
OF reconstruction, so as to secure n
State Government that will protect
us, and to be admitted into partici-
patton Iii the Federal Government, or
will we determine to engage i'll IL
hopeless, exasperating and suicidal
contest with Congress and the domi-
nant party? If we should organize
against them, and out-vote them at
the approaching elections, would not
our victory be our ruin? These are
questions for our people not only to
consider, but decide, and that
speedily.

ployees, with his force of hands, tore
down the trestle- work erected by the
Columbia and Augusta Railroad
Company, near Graniteville depot,
and he also alleged that he had di-
rections from the same official.
There is Gttleness and childish
maliciousness about these acts which
is entirely unworthy the authorities
of any responsible corporation; and L
cannot believe that the Directors of
the South Carolina Railroad, com
posed rs their board is of such fair
and honorable gentlemen as Messrs.
Furman, Rose, Gourdin, Trenholm
and Others, can be aware of and
sanction such proceedings. 1t is not
possible that they could lend their
countenance to the persistent con-
tempt and defiance of the de-
crecs Of the court, and to the mu-
nicipal authorities of the capital city
of their State.
BY acts such as these, they may
harrass and annoy the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad Company for n
time. but the mind must be OF small
comprehension. indeed, that would
expect, by such means, to arrest the
construction of work in which one
third or more of the people OF the
State are interested i'll seeing carried
out. Besides, these acts of veXation
have generally to be atoncd for

HIGHLY IMPORTANT DECISION. His
Honor the Chief Justice (Chase) de-
hvered, yesterday, q very important
opinion, in which his associate, Judge
Brooks, concurred. to the effect that
cltlzens of the pretended Confederate
States who paid debts due Northern
citizens into the hands of Confede-
rate receivers are not thereby dis
charged from the debt. The result
is, all such debts are now collectable,
and parties who voluntarily paid, OF
who were forced to pay over to re-
ceivers, will have their remedy at law
against the receivers, who are bound
for funds thus unlawfully obtained.

Cyclopndia of Biblical, Theolooicol

pared by the Rev. John McClir-
took, ID. D., and James Strong. S
L. ID. Vol. IA. B. New York
Harpers tS Brothers, publishers
franklin Square. 1867.
Such is the title of an elegant vo-
lumo of 947 pages, royal Syo, con-
tanning about $3.50 articles, and 373
splendid illustrations-the whole
work to be completed in "about six
volumes. The student of the Bible
will hail with pleasure the advent of
the first universal cyclopmdia upon
sacred literature. There was q blank
which this work aspires to fill. and
does it well. Cyclopndias are recop.
nized as o necessity to the modern
student i'll all branches Of science
knowledge has been exten.ed and
authors have multiplied until it is an
evident impossibility for man OF
active habits to explore all the varie-
ties of opinion in any Department.
the only remedy against embarrass
ing Ignorance is the system of cvclo-
p~dias. True, as the preface tells
us, the dictionary and cyclopmlia
cannot usurp the place of the great
masters in disciplining the mind:
no system can ever displace rigid
study, and no device can claim
to be OF equal value to the young
mind with the society of the great
thinkers. But, looking elsewhere
for training and mental exercise, the
cyclopGdia is invaluable rs source
of information.
The volume before us is a success.
Doubtless, succeeding Investigations
will add to the accuracy and extent
of its contents. Students of differ
ent views must occasionally dissent
from its opinions on controverted
points; but there is nothing that
savors of sectarian controversy in
any of the articles perused by us,
while we add our poor testimony to
the patient research of the contribu-
tors and to the artistic skill of the
publishers.
