A REDRL GENERAL Northumberland
James Longstreeti is in a good fat office in New
Orleans from General Grant. 1t was General
Longsreet who in the. terrible battle of tho
Wilderness came so near doubling up the right
wing of General Grant. But Longstreet,

glad to meet in q late rebel adversary a loyal
man, worthy a special recognition of the gov
eminent. This is a new and important move
