of the rebel army was General Long
street. He is now as honorably distiu-
guished from his associate rebel Gener-
ais as during the war he was distin-
guished above them. He is out openly

is elected" he says, ait will open all
the old issues at the South, and we will
have trouble" He was not originally
for Gran;-having been one OF those

Chase-but since Seymour was made
the standard bearer, Gen. LongstTeet Is
unable to train in that company, and
has made haste1o join the followers of
his conqueror.
