The Battle of Lookout Mounta Gen.
Hooker Wralhy.


BOSTON. Aug. 22-The Herald tonight puk-
fishes an interview with Gen. Joe Hooker at
Martha's Vineyard, in which he is
reported to have said relative to the disputed
battle of Lookout Mountain: "When Grant
afirms that there was no battle on Lookout
Mountain or when he otherwise detracts from
the successes of my battles, he either must
addicted or else the desire for q third term
must have crazed his brain. In no other way
can account for the commanding General
going back on himself and going back on the
army which made him. Gen. Grants opinions
In regard to the war are far from being in.
fallible, the same as when he administered the
affairs OF the national government. MY battles
were not so bloody as his, hence 1 suppose he
is not able to appreciate them. As to the battle
of Lookout Mountain, report me as saying
that there are too many witnesses to that
battle to have it ignored at this late date, and
friends of the fallen will not be likely to accent
Gen; Grants verdict in regard to the fight. 1
need say no more"

not be forgot'-r that the brigands com mmitted
acts Of cruel ferocity, and that these families
had influential support in Rome.
Mgr. Fecci, grieved at the deplorable condi-
tion of the Province, resolved to make change
for the better-even at the risk OF his own 1u-
ture prospect.
He began by obtaining from the Pontifosl
Government efficient officer, Sterbini, Not
the infamous wretch of that name that figured
in the times of Pope Plus 1X.-Ed. +. d. who
reorganized toe Custom House business. be
then went to the King of Naples, informed him
of his designs, and prevailed upon him to en-.
act severe measures against the violRters OF
the law. This DONE he secured the good will
of the officers of he army and of the police
force, and then went to work. 1t became ne
oessary TO Sight regular battles, to follow the
brigauds TO the castles in which they en-
rrenched themselves, and enter these citadels
by force; because their strange hosts, the Lords
of the manors, claimed that the Delegate was
io!stipg cir lanes and their demesnes. and
thev, therefore, sho wed resistance.
Tee most powerful of them sought Mgr. .Pecoi,
apd, with threats, told him that he was going
10 Rome, and W ou ID soon return with an order
for bis recall.
Very we'll, siguor Narohese," codly replied
Mgr. Pecci. Bat before going to Rome, you
will spend three months in prison, and l will
give you black bread for yonr food and water
for your drink"
The Ma1q1i-' castle was, in the meantime,
taken by assault, the briRands either killed or
captured and the people lordly applauded the
Delegate.
In few mouths the whole province was
cleared Of brigands the Lords submitted; the
Pope publicly congratulated Mgr. Pecci, and
Ferdinand IL summoned him to Naples to re
| ceive the marks of royal consideration.
The Delegate wac, about this time, stricken

the people were 6tled with alarm, and the
streets of Benevento witnessed PROFESSIONS OF

heads covered with sAckcloth, and offering up

Mgr. Pecci'e administration over Spoleto and
| Perlgis was marked by the came energy and
! prOmptness of action. In the latter city, which
! bas a reputation of some twenty Thousand m.
| babitants, and which was the chief town OF
the Province, the prisons under his admins
trstIon were empty; there wGs not q single per
