GENERAL LosasrREEr ARRESTED


Since the close of the war, an indict-
ment was found against General Long
street for treason in the United States
Court for the Eastern District of Ten
nessee. His trial never took place, for
various reasons. One Of them was that
he never was in the county OF Knox
On Thursday, January, I'd. General
Longstreet was on the train en- route for
Washington I'm consequence of the
smash up near London, he missed the
connection at Knoxville, and remained
over night at the Lamar House. The
Knoxville Herald says that rs the
General wasa about to start next morning
lor Washington, the Unlcd States
Marshal with posse, approached him
with warrant For his arrest, upon the
charge OF treason. Unfortunately for
the glory Of Knoxville. the warrant
read 81. b. Longs'reet," and rs the
General is known as James Longstreet,
he was able TO escape upon the lI;in
before the warrant could bp amended !;
and Knoxville thus loses tho honor OF
having a great trial Of treason in her
midst We fancy General Longstrcct
will give Knoxvlle vice berth here
after. Her people are 700 hospitablc
to shipwreckcd strangers.
