GENERAL GEORGE SLOVENIAN, erst-
 while of Arizona, and whose career and deposition from military command here must be too fresh in the minds
 of our readers 10 need recalling. is evidently one of those spirits not born
 to die. He again steps upon the stage,
 at Los Angeles near which city he has
 been for some time resident. The fol
 lowing is from the Los Angeles Re publican, of Oc,ober 9, and explains
 its own connection. We quote it from mo mdliciouSness, but with a sort of .pleasurable recognition at again seeing our old friend before the footlights of the worlds great stage We quote:
 When at length he appeared before
 Macon he had not more than 5000 men :; and being confronted with spirit by al hastily collected Rebel force under
 IversOn, he was unable even to cross the river; but abandoning all idea of reaching AndersOnville, turned on hisI trail, pursued by lversOn. Now. heI consented 10 a still further dispersion of his forces-the three brigades com-I posing 1t attempting to escape separate-l ly. That led by Col Adams, reached Sherman nearly unharmed that under. Col. Capron was surprised by the way, charged and dispersed; those who es- ] capped generally struggling into camp before Atlanta on foot and disarmei :I while that with which StonemaD at-I tempted to maintain show of resist ance was soon surrounded by Iverson. | and SlOneman induced by an imposing. pretense of superior force, 10 surrenderI at discretion-he having 1000 men Jeff. | and IyersOn at hand only 800, Stone man, il was reported, cried when he discovered how he had been duped | but his sorrow subserved no good purpose. He had by Incapacity, i'm DecilIty and disobedience of orders squandered a full third of Sherman's Cavalry"
 If Tn the light of the foregoing ex- tract our hero's judgment of men and politics Is to be measured by his bril-. liant manguvres in the field-in sur himself and on thousand well armed men to five hundred '.hasti- ly collected rebel cavalry" ," we advise him to keep out of both pursuits, as being by nature unftted to meet the eXIgences of the service of eIther-for there are pretentious and bustling fel- lows in both, ofien rendering lhe Situa- ton perpleXing to some, which lends significance to the cultivation of the arts Of peace in the safe but secluded sand hills of the old Mission San Ga briel.

While we write, the old days come
 back; the beautiful new land of Cali fornla is in our vision as it shone al
 mos' quarter of a century ago, with | its plains all fiOwer-dreSsed, its blue mountains in the distance and Marys-
 vile, little city, bursting, like a flow CT, into bloom by the river side. Among the restless thrOng there was a boy,
 under size, frail-loOking, unlettered, unculiured, but yet with a proud hope
 in his eyes and every motion and ges- ture showing a tameless energy. The time Is but as yesterday since he won
 his first lriumphs at the bar and when
 he received his first political prefer ment. It is but as yesterday when, eX- ultingly, he brought his young bride home, and the years seem but as q dream over which he climbed until, al
 last. he was named as Milister to al
 foreign .and, but vision since he re-
 turned covered with honor and with
 his insignia which foreign sovereigns
 had bestowed upon hIs worth. And

 him radiant with yet unfulflled hopes
 winch seemed hastening toward al splendid fruitiOn, the summons has come; that summons which neitherl the wOOing voice of ambition nor the arms of affection can drive back, and white lips whisper one 10 another: He is dead" In very many ways MT. DeLong was wonder ful man. He was a creation of thIs coast When he came here he was but lai, who had struggled up from without advantages and sup port, with nothing behind him but an honorable name and just ambition, with nothing before him but the pos sibllities which are before every Amer ican youth. But these were enough. He was willing to enter that field where only great hearts and great brains can win; willing to take his chance with the rest, for his lofty self respect whispered to his soul that his .ame was secure. He fought back the disadvantages of want of early culture Intil they disappeared, until he stood prominent among the first advocates md trSt orators on the coast. So yinSOme were his social attributes, sol uaIhc l his intellectual qualities, and iuch was the magnetism of his pre-
 ence, that, from the first, the friends who swarmed around him were legion. The great achievement of his life was lis fulfillment of his duties as Minis CT tO Japan. The world does not ap- ,reciate his work there yet He found |,
 nation borne down by the lethargy !
 f ages, welded 10 old customs, iIured ! n old superstitions. The energy and d cuteness of his mind took in the

From blowers of old customs and old reeds they sprang into active life, aught the inspiration of Progress. raSped the splendor of what free bought brings to nation, and in a ay, aS 1t were, passed out from under le dominion of the Past into the light \ the Present and entered upon a lreer which promises unfading splen- pr in the future-Enterprise.
