GENERAL. LONGsTRE1.T
Denies the Charges of Vandalism
iii East Tennessee.

DURHAM, n. c., September 3.-Edward
y. Oldham, editor of the Globe, has re-
cclvcd letter from General LungStrcet
denying the charges recently made by a
Washington correspondent to the effect
that during the war he had driven the
ladies of cX-PicSdcnt Iohnson's family
from their home in Tennessee, and had
turned the elegant mansion into small
poX hospital, broke into the library and
distributed the books and papers among
the soldiers including blue back spell
ing book highly priced by johnson.
Longstrcct says in his letter, which will
appear i'll the Globe to-morrOw: There
is not one word of truth in the assertions
contained i'll the article Had there been,
it is hardly possible that such facts could
escape notice for SO many years. The
Union people within our lines were under
the same orders and treatment as were
the COntcdcratcS. UnoniStS who wished
to go North were given safe conducts,
and when they asked for escorts were
sent out under military protection. There
was no case of small pox in the com
mand during that winter, so far as
now remember, and the Confederate
inspecting surgeon reported TO me that
the army was healthier than any other
of the Contedcratcs in the field. During
my first visit to Washington after the
surrender, called to see General Grant.
Secretary Stanton, and President John
son. The latter gave me quite long
interview; and when rose to take leave,
invited me to make another call next
dav. The following day | had another
sitting of probably an hours duration.
At no time of our conversation did he
alludc to the conduct of the Conlcder-
atcS i'll East Tennessee or elsewhere, cX-
ccpt that he said: There are three
men OF the South who can never receive
amncsty-Mr. Davis, General Lee, and
yourself You have done the ITnOnc cause
too much damage"
