The Former Corrects the Radical ex-Judge
About Gettysburg.

Judge Albion Tourgee. in tho Bystand-

said of the battle of Gettysburg that II

great subordinate. General LOngstreet, 70
make feint on Harrisburg, and then tear
ing UP the railways and rendering the pub
lie roads impossible, he could have moved
on Pittsburgh and the Republican party
would have been defeated in the pending
election A friend Of General Longstreet
called his attention TO this statement 10y
judge Tourgee, and he has written a reply,
IN which he SAYS:
As military critique Judge Tourgee
il successful failure. | note the pro-
found strategy of Bystander,' 10 which
YOU direct attention. Had General Lee
preferred Pittsburgh he would doubtless
have done "a great favor TO General George
G.. Meade. who. If he could have been adj
vised Of such purpose 10y Lee, would
have dispatched forward and had supplies
collected for him along the line OF pro-
posed march and sent on to Pittsburgh and
requested the civil authorities there 10
provide for the reception of our army, TO
give banQuets and all amuscments. while
no Meade was triumphantly marching
'on to Richmond.
NY old chum. General sherman,
thought that General Hooi did nm a
very great fANOf Wucu ue new tuc ltd'h
at Atlanta and opened the way 20 an I'M
obstructed march to the sea-
a iunketing trip by Lee 20 Pittsburgh
would have been a vastly greater accom-
mediation to General Meade. True, IL
might (aud probably would have made
George &. Meade President and brought
about a joyful reunion If Meade had really
aspirations i'm that direction, but ne had
not aud Lincoln would have had his
second term and would have escaped the
murderous hand of the cruel assassin.
- Bystander's' most interesting effort
was his FOOLS Frrand.' That gave him a
local habitation and q name IN literature,
and he merits the credit of consistency in
that in all his subsequent undertakings he
sticks 20 his text. Yours truly,
