[Frem the Alta aCalifornian.llector
The letter of Fitzhugh Lee
Richmond Dispach, which appears
your columns to-day, is but re epetitiol
of the oft-repeated ISLANDERS upon Gem
eral Thomas that was favorite article
during the war. After the close of the
war, and Southern papers became ac-
cessable to the people of the whole coun-
try, these ISLANDERS ceased, as General
Thomas could too easily refute them; but
now that the great man is dead, it is
thought safe to renew them.
1t is known to all who knew General
Thomas, that one of his great charac-
teristics was truthfulness, entire truth
fulness, without reservation, and i. is
for the people of the United States to
Judge between what hesaid OH this sub
ject while living, and what the enemies
of our country say, now that he is dead.
AS confidential staff officer, one of
his Aids-de-camp, had the privilege of
having many conversations with Gem
eral Thomas upon matters relating to
the rebellion. The more important of
these conversations l made note of at
the time, with his knowledge and con-
sent. Among them is one on the sub
here copy from my note book:
"A slander upon the General was Of
ten repeated in the Southern papers dur
ing and Immediately subsequent to the
rebellion. 1t was given upon the au-
thority of prominent rebel officers, and
not denied by them; it was to the effect
that he was disappointed in not getting
a high command III the rebel army he
had sought for, hence his refusal to join
in the rebellion. In a conversation with
him on the subject, the General said this
was an entire fabrication, not having an
atom of foundation not line ever PASS
ed between him and the rebel authori-
ties they had no genuine letters of his,
nor was word spoken by him TO any
one that could even lead to such an in
ference. He defied any one to produce
any testimony, written or oral, to sus-
tain such an allegation; he never enter
tanned such an idea for his duty was
clear to him from the beginning. He
said these ISLANDERS were caused by men
who knew they had done wrong, but
were endeavering to justify themselves
by claiming their actions to be virtue
which all true men would have followed,
and by blackening the character of those
who nod done ri~ht II was nvidaut

who for years reeled home at night. As
he approached his cottage his children
fled from his presence and hid them

good Samaritan visited that father, and,
by Gods blessing, induced him to join

Ifyou are out of work, boy or man,
don't hang around the cities; go to the
country at once. BY staying in the
cities you crowd labor and starve each
other to death. In the country you may
find something to do on nearly every
farm this time of year. Go out and
astonish your lungs with fresh country
air; lend your muscular energies to the
coming crops; find health and wealth in
honest employment US a yeoman. Don't
hang about grog shops. Don't beg OH
the streets for situation in some street
railway, or bore all your friends for an
Endorsement for Indian agent or foreign
minister. Above ALL don't stand on the
corner with q ragged slouch hat on
your head and nasty stub pipe in
your mouth, smoking and sinking,
waiting for something to turn up. 1t
never turns up. You must turn itup
for yourself, man II Columbus Journal.
