How LOngstreet Would Have RE.
Iieved Vicl<sburg.

Gen. Longstreet in the Philadelphia Week
ly Times.l
proposed that the army then concen-
trated at jackson, Mississippi, be moved
swiftly to Tullahoma, where Gen. Bragg
was then located with a fine army, CON
fronting an army ofabout equal strength
under Gen, Roeecrans, and that ut the
same time the two divisions of my corps
be hurried forward to the same point.
The simultaneous arrival of these rein
forcements would give Us grand army
at Tullahoma. With this army Gen.
Johnston might speedily crush Rosecrans,
and that he should turn bis force toward
the North and with his splendid army
march through Tennessee and Kentucky
and threaten the invasion of Ohio. NV
idea was that in the march through those
States the army would meet no organized
obstruction, would be supplied with pro-
visions and even reinforcements by those
friendly to our cause, and would inevita-
bly, result in drawing Grants army from
Vicksburg to look after and protect his
own TERRITORY.

County, Ry BHeber Craft Esq, i'm
the NACCOmb City WnaeIligemceF..

We hold in vivid remem 5rance the sub
ject of this notice. A few years ago we saw
her in the bloom of beautiful womanhood
Her beauty was not simply an outward one
of features and form. but was made up of
modesty aud grace, of geneleness and refine
ment and ueiicacy, rejecting the light of a
pure soul and cultivated mind and heart.
In all the relations of life, as a daughter,
sister and friend, the power and charm of
her influence was potent and pervading,
and in the high social circle in which she
moved was the life and ornament. The
silver cord is loosed, and a gentle, loving,
joyous spirit has Joined the celestial band
sin realms SO bright and fair.'

The cold generally over Europe for a
fortnight, almost free from rain, has ena-
bIed good progress TO made with the
harvest in the North. During the week
there has been large shipment from the
Atlantic porst. The immediate effect has
been sudden check 10 trade, buyers

ton. It is already evident that we shall
not receive the supplies we reckoned on
from quarters in India, and Egypt will
not do halfas well as expected. As winter
comes on the supplies from Russia will be
cut of there remains little 10 look for
except from Atlantic ports, and with
winter before US and the consumption OF
the country mainly on these wheats, it is
hard TO believe that the autumn ship.
ments can be more than we need. The
moment when this little panic Is on and
the liberal shipments OF one or two weeks
are imagined to be more than the trade
can stand, it may be well 10 suggest that
these shipments are not Unprecedented,
aud 10 recall the fact that in 1915 they
were at the rate Of one hundred and fifty
thousand quarters week. Surely this
year, when we are thrown almost entirely
on this source Of supply for the winter,
the trade should not be shaken by phip.
menis no larger than in former years,
when our wants were less and sources Of
supply open which are now closed. In
forming judgment Of future shipments,
there are other iectS TO be noted. The
liberal hipments this month have not
been effected without driving prices up
on the other side. A change has evident.
ly come over shippers since they
were so eager to sell at low prices. Re.
sales have been made here daily ut about
53J TO 5l' per quarter, for winter red, and
5ls to 62s for spring, but prices in New
York and Baltimore are relatively quite
above those quotations. This certainly
does not polut 10 any extraordinary
shipments this autumn from the Atlantic
ports and any depression caused by this
fear will probably be temporary sales
