Longstreet,s Review of the War.

A correspondent of the Chicago 7ribaa,
interviews Longstreet, and reports az fol
Lows: ,AsE
He says nothing which indicates hi
regret at she part he took, but on the con
trary, seemed to have docile sort of fond
ness for his military life and prominence
during the rebellion. He evidently con-
| tary reputation of the South, and he speaks
of all the Federal Generals with respect,
accounting evel for McClellan's failure In
the Peninsula. I asked him If It were true,
as had been related, that at Gettysburg he
advised the turning of the Federal position
on Cemetery Ridge. He said YES that
on the third day be had proposed to Gen.
Lee to extend his lines so as to cover the
roads leading back toward Maryland, and
this would compel an evacuation of the
Federal position. NO. replied Lee, "the
enemy is right there, and We must fight
him" Longstreet says that he sat upon q
fence and watched with field-glass Pick
ett'sDivision making that celebrated but fa-
tai charge, and that he felt satisfied that the
Cemetery Ridge could not be carried. 1 ask
ed him what he would have done had Lee
permitted him to turn Round Top to the
right, and he replied that he should have
moved by forced marches directly upon
Washington city. Longstreet says that
both sides in the civil war committed mis-
takes when they put engineer officers at
the head of large armies, and that the
properties which make Field Marshal ar
not those required in an active General.
He does not believe that if Meade had pur-
sued Lees army LATTER Gettysburg, Lee
would have been beaten, but says he want
ed to stand at Hagerstown and make a
fight. He always speaks of the Federals,
in discussing these war matters, as the en-
emy. He does not believe that Mcclellan
could have got into Richmond if he had
been bolder i'll his Peninsulor campaign,
but says that at later period of the war,
there were several occasions when the city
might have been captured. He thinks
Gettysburg was, on the whole, the best
fight of the war; thinks it fortunate that
Meade had replaced Hooker in command
of the Federal army there. He spoke of a
number of instances where the Federal
troops had behaved as we'll as anybody
could expect soldiers to behave, and that
his own troops, which were collected from
nearly all of the States, were as good as
he wanted. He has not particle of bit
terness for anybody in the South or North.

4 Story Of Dan Rice,

LII the Mayors parlor the other day says
The New Orleans Picoyiale, we encounter
ed Dan Rice, the veteran circus man and
ininlitahle clown. He, as usual, took the
lead in conversation, and got off quite q
number Of jokes, of which he seemed to
have fund inexhaustible. Among other
things he related an anecdote Of the well
known actor, Dan Marble, who, during his
life, was Acknowledged to be the best
comedian ia the stage. Marble said
Rice, twas very fond of his tod, and never
missed an opportunity of attending the
races, 1t happened that on the evening
that he was to appear at the st. Churles in
the Yankee Teamster,' or some other
similar play, one of the most exciting
races that ever came off in New Orleans
took place, and Dan, of course, was there.
state that was scarcely dignified and it was
with no little difficulty he was taken to
the theater and gotten into any sort of con-
dition for appearing before the clamorous
and expectant audience. At last the cur
tain rolled up. Dan was pushed on the
stage. The glare of the lights and the
sight Of the audience frightened him up
little, and vith an irresistably funny at
tempt at being steady, he staggered for
werd, and with his hat askew, and jerking
at his coat as If to button it up. The au-
diencc roared with laughter, and Marble
(not too drunk TO appreciate the situationl
stood surveying the house in the most
comieal fashion, swaying to and fro un-
steadily. Finally he said; Here / am

Speeial TO the Chroniclcl
NASHVILLE, Jan. 81, le7.
Governor Senter, this afternoon, sent to
Cue Legislature special message vetoing
the "bill TO remove the Agricultural Cox
lege fi,nd from the East Tennessee Cni-
versity.H
The grounds of the veto are: First, that
the bill is unconstitutional, as is seeks to
annul an already executed contract be-
tween the State and the trustees of the
University, which cannot be done without
the consent of the trustees. Second, that
it is endangering the forfeiture of the fund,
which amounts to three hundred thousand
dollars, by not having an Agricultural
college in operation within the five years
required by the act of Congress appropriat-
ing the fund.
The bill will probably fall 10 pass over
the Governors veto for want of the consti-
tutional majority. The veto has not been
taken up, and 1t is doubtful if even an at
tempt will be made to pass it over the VITO.
do not believe the House will have
quorum after tomorrow.
