Hooker on schurz.
[From the St. Louis Republieap.

from the ST. LOUIS h6puOucaD.I
WASHINGTON, June $50 much has been
said lately regarding the statement alleged
to have been made BY General Hooker at San
ton of Senator Schurz and others, it is but
proper to make the following extracts from
a letter written TO the latter by General
Hooker, from Detroit, dated June 2, 1867,
in reply to an inquiry:
"I have not my Wauhatchie report to re-
fer to, but l recOlleet distinctly that it was
intended to censure Howard more than
yourself, for when your column left me
Howard was with you, and that was the
reason, in part, that did not 90 to the re-
lief of Geary with it, and | was very much
surprised to learn afterward that he started
off on his own hook to find him, when he
could be of no earthly use to him, even if
he succeeded, without troops. In HOward's
report it is stated that the column was
checked in its advance by low, wet ground.
l do not know that you referred to it at
all, and what you call the severe
part of my report / think relates to
this. 1 always felt that you had made
mistake in assuming what was intended for
some one else; but l do not know that it
made any difference with anybody, Il did
state it, and pardon me if l state that, in
my opinion, you have attached too much
Importance to it. If you had no oppor-
tunity to set yourself right by your subse-
quent service, it certainly could not be my
fault. You left the army of your own ac-
cOrd-not by my request or desire. The
politicians have blamed you for the conduct
of the eleventh corps at Charlottesville;
but you have never heard of my doing it. l
always blamed Howard for that, for he was
in command.
From the foregoing it is plain that Gen
eral Hooker did not say the words at
tributed to him I'M San Francisco.

The three-column paragraphs of the At
lanta, Georgia, San leave the benighted
reader still in doubt whether the Very Hon.
A. H. Stephens would, in any event, sup
port Grant or Greeley as desirable alter
native; and, meanwhile, all Georgia is wait
ing for the verdict. The Chattanooga
Herald says:
The press of Georgia is overwhelmed with
a superstitious reverence for Aleek Ste
phens. Privately, many of them are willing
to cOncede that he is a superannuated old
idiot and regular nuisance; but, if one of
them were to express himself to that effect,
than to speak disrespectfully of the equator.

This pavement is concrete stone, lald in squares
of any desired size, shape color. The power re-
oured to render assunder one square inch Of Port
land cement of which this stone made is found to
be lI5Z pounds Its superiority compared with
bricks is shown by the fact that the former yields
only to the crushing pressure of l2o tons, while
Stafford blue brick pulverzes at fifty tons, fire clay
bricks at forty-fve and midway perfect brick at
forty eight tons. The above results were deter
mined BY experiment made by General J. A. Gil
more United States army, and by some Of the
abIest engineers of Europe.
This pavement is laid so that the blocks can not
get out Of place, being adjusted to the ground so
the bearing is equal in all parts. Neither surface,
water nor grass can penetrate the seams. And as
it can be laid in small squares, expansion OF con-
traction does not crack or break it. Artificial
stone pavement made, with this cement for ITS

aggravated one. The officers allege that thev
were AFRAID to take the prisoner before the Iein-
SIC Justice, lest his friends rescue him from their
custody. They accordingly came to Smyrna.
Where, IN company with Town Constable Smith
they called upon Esquire Mariner aftermidni, ht
TO Induce him to endorse their warrant of arret :
from tile Mayor of Chester, tkat the prisone =
might be taken out of the State. The Sauire,
having no authority to do such. refused to take
any action in the premises. The prisoner. how
eVer'Wa put IN the lookup, but by whose outhor-
lty we Know not, This morning number OF
persons from Leipsic came up, feeling incensed
agalnt the Chester officers for " forcibiy ahduct
ing the prisoner, or in other words arresting
him without authority from the authorities Of
tins State. At o'clock the prisoner was broughi
before Esquire Budd, at the instance Of the par-
ties from Leipsic, when, there appearing no
charge against him for violation OF any law Of
the town or State, he was discharged. After the
release, it was intended to hold the Chester
officers on the charge of illegal arrest but they
made their escape, on learning what was in store
for them.
