A Talk With Longstreet.

The special correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe writes from New Orleans to
that paper an account of an interview with
General Longstreet:
The impression here is that the conduct
of the war is thing that had better De let
alone than discussed, and l find that prom
inent CoDfederates are reticent on the sub
ject. Particularly so is General Lon gstreet,
whom l visited a day or two ago, and whom
l found extremely difficult to involve in
conversation on that topic. He not only
deprecates the argument, but is rather con-
demnatOry in his remarks on the Generals
who have given the Globe their views. In
his Judgment it is better to look to the vel.
fare of the country than to speculate upon
the reasons the South, Or this or that eX
ponent OF its principles, got whipped. 1t
matters little to him now, through whose
faulty management the cause was lost, and
Lees wreath Of amaranths" faded and
trailed in the dust. The fact that there
was clearly defined thrashing somewhere
is incontrovertibly established, and Gen
eral Longstreet is not ambitious to consider
how or why it accrued.
But succeeded in inducing him to give
his views OF Mr.. Davis, a gentleman for
whose attachments in the tented field or
the cabinet chamber the general does not
appear to entertain any admiration or even
respect He is inclined to question strong
lv Mr.. Davis military capacity, and thinks
that in exercising the office of commander
in chief, vested in him as President, he COM
mitted blunders, and adopted plans not ex-
actly calculated to promote victory: and
this seems to be the opinion OF other prorni-
nent military gentlemen of ssgacity in the
art of war. and who have been in positions
to Judge the exPresident. As for Mr..
Davis financial policy, General Longstreet
expresses rather light opinion.
lie finds Davis guilty Of one radical error,
and to man of Longstreet's notions, one
mistake casts shadow over many virtues.
That error was the cotton policy. Long
street heartily condemns the plan of keep
ing cotton on hand during the war. In his
Judgment it should have been sold to some
foreign power, even il not shipped, and the
money realized Instead Of this, the cot
ton was kept on hand, finally captured or
burned He refused to go into the details
of the war; and to argue the advisability OF
sending this man there or that man here;
of relieving such and such Generals, and
putting such and such Generals in COM
mand. He goes right at the root OF mat
tiers, strikes the basis, and accounts for the
whole thing at one fell blow, upon the plat
form of Mr.. Davis want of military and
financial skill.
Our conversation on the subject was
brief, for the General seemed TO dislike the
tonic,

Eongfell0w.

The following is from lecture delivered
q few days ago in Boston, by James I.
Field, upon the subject OF LoDgfellow's
poetry:
1t is always interesting to know under
what circumstances a poet has framed an
immortal poem or sonnet or song. AS l
happen to know something of the origin
and birth of Longfellows poems, let me
divulge a few secrets in regard to them.
The psalm of Life" came into existence
on a bright summer morning in July, 1888,
in Cambridge, as the poet Sat between two
windows at the small table in the corner of
his chamber. 1t was voice from his in
most heart, and he kept it some time in
manuscript, unwilling to part with it. 1t
expressed his own feelings at th,.t time,
when he was rallying frcm the depression
of deep at,iction, and he hid the poem in
his own heart for many months.
He was accused of taking the famous
verse, "Art is long and time is feeting."
from Bishops poem, but happen to know
that was not in his mind, and that the
thought came to him with as much fresh
ness and originality as if nothing had been
written before. There is reaper whose
name is death" crystallized at once, with
out effort, in the poets mind. and he wrote
it RAPIDLY down, with tears filling his eyes
as he composed it. "The Light of the
Stars was composed as the poet looked out
upon calm and beautiful summer evening,
exactly suggestive of the poem. TIE moon,
little strip OF silver, was just setting
behind Mount Auburn, and Mars was blaz-
ing in the South.
That fine ballad, "The Wreck Of the
Hesperus.' was written in 1880. A violent
storm had occurred the night before, and
as the poet sat smoking his pipe about
midnight by the fire, the wrecked Hesperus
came sailing into his mind. He went to
bed. but the poem had seized him, and be
could not sleep. He got up and wrote the
celebrated verses. The clock was striking
three" he said, ''when l finished the last
stanza" 1t did not come into his mind by
lines, but by whole stanzas, hardly causing
him an effort, but flowing without let or
hindrance.
One of the best known of all Longfellow's
shorter poems is Excelsior" The word
happened to catch his eye late one autumn
evening, in 1871, on torn piece OF news
paper and straightw1y his imagination
took fire at it. Taking the first piece of
paper at hand, which happened to be the
back of letter received that night from
Charles Sumner, Longtellow crowded it
with verses. AS first written down, "Ex-
celsior' differs from the perfected and pub
lished poem; but it shows in its original
conception a rush and glow worthy the
theme and the author. On summer after
noon in 1S49, as he was riding on the beach,
The Skeleton in Armor'' rose as ont of the
deep before him. and would not be laid.
The story of Evangeline' was first sug-
gested to Hawthorne by friend who wished
him to found q romance upon it. Haw-
thorne did not quite coincide with the idea,
and handed the theme to Longfellow, who
saw at once all the essential qualities of a
deep and tender idyl.

Philadelphia.

From the report of the mayor to the
Councils of Philadelphia, we gather the
following interesting items: The number of
registered voters is IG7 1884; the area OF the
city 1898 square miles, and its valuation
of real estate, $3.50, 0O3, COZ; personal, s47,-
O59,7lO; an increase of s2l,07s,267 over
1873. There were l,64s, 5s7 900 cubic feet
of gas manufactured in 1873, and an aver
age of 4O,276, 1874 gallons of water pumped
up daily. There are 5S5 miles of water,
and Cos miles Of gas pipes, and l34 miles of
sewers. There are 40l public schools, the
property thereof being valued at 81, 493, $40,
and only 1902 officers in the police depart
ment. There are thirty-two fire companies,
who attended 620 fires. which caused loss
of $93s, 4s0. 1t is very plain the City of
Brotherly Love is great city.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Captain Eads in his pamphlet of CORES
pondence between himself and the business
men of New Orleans, page eight, asserts
1.-The river will flow quite as freely through
bed OF salt water as it will through one of
alluvion." If this be true, would like
Captain Eads or any of his scientific sup
porters to explain how it is that the bar,
which they all assert to be purely alluvial,
is invariably the shoalest when the water
of the river is at it's highest flood!
Again. 1t being the fact that the salt
water of the Gulf is considerably heavier
than the fresh water of the river, by what
means does he propose to make the fresh
water flow downward into the salt water
Again. Will not the resistance of the salt
water against the lighter fresh water be the
greater, the farther down into it the fresh
water goes?
Answers in plain English, Invested of all
technicalities, will, no doubt, be very ac-
ceptable to the public, and enable them to
form some opinion on the vexed question
OF bars. jetties and canals. E. H.
