The Most Distinguished LAsinR Confed
crate General.
The most distinguished living Ccnfeder.
ate General is Longstreet and it is ques.
tion whether his military reputation will
not eventually rank v ith the very highest
There is no doubt that he manifested qusli
ties fully equal to those of Lee, Beaure
gard, or Joe Johnston, and that the only
man of the Southern chieftains who stands
distinctly higher in the worlds estimatio,
as a field marshal Is Stonewan Jackson.
Lee had larger opportunities and greater
dignities AID proprieties, but not, there il
reason to think, more military >apacity.
Longstreet has manifested since the war
homely strength and common-sense that has
commended him to all his countrynen, with
the exception of those who have made
speciality of cnitivatiing Southern griev-
ance and of the weak indulgence of sectional
pride. He has been pretty good Repub
hcan, though not a talkative partisan, and
his cali upon the President-elect has been
the most picturesque incident since the
election returns were in. The appearance
of the ancient warrior at Indianapolis has
been variously, and, of course, satisfac-
torily explained, but it has not become less
interesting in the course of explanation.
He was good friend of Gen. Grant, and
put on his old uniform to welcome JEFF
Davis at Macon thirteen months ago, when
the episide of the Presidency of Cleveland
was supposed to be the sample end of eter-
atty. But it was simply that the spirit Of
the old soldier overcalne him. We do not
think he will apply for a foreign mission.
