LONGSTREET FIRING GUNS
An Incident of Antietam that Had
Much of Thrilling About 1t.

Washington ID. c., September q.
Perhaps entitled to be considered
the greatest of ex-COnfederate veterans
Gen. James Longstreet has figured
personally in many thrilling scenes.
One of his peculiar distinctions is that
he was the only corps commander on
either side during the war to serve
artillery with his own hands in an en-
ergency. The incident referred to is
part Of the unwritten history of An
tietam. Another important historic
figure in the narrative is Gen. George
B. Mcclellan, at whom two of the can
non shot fired by Longstreet's own
hard, were directed 1t. was only known
at the time that the human target
in Federal uniform was some officer of
considerable prominence.
Gen. G. NJ. Sorrell, now living in
New York, President Of the Ocean
Steamship Company, plying between
Savannah and New York, is a living
witness Of the occurrence. Gen. Rob
ert e. Lee and Gen. d. H. Hill were
interested spectators, and had special
reason to remember it. Perhaps
there are also living some members of
Gen. McClellan's staff to corroborate
the narrative. Longstreet, bona sol
der, graduated at West Point, ex-
perienced by years of active duty in
the Mexican war and in other services
as an officer for the regular army, was
an excellent artillerist, sighting can
non with a. much precision a. q pistol
or musket. At the battle of Ante
tam, or Sharpsburg, Mcclellan sent q
strong force against an unoccupied
portion of Longstreet's line. The lat
ter was quick to notice this movement.
Calling to Gen. Sorrell and Captain
Latrobe to follow him, Longstreet
galloped to the gap in his line, toward
which point the federals were advanc-
ing rapidly. Two cannons had been
left there, almost the entire crew of
both guns dead or lying desperately
wounded. Longstreet instantly dis
mounted, and, with the aid of Sorrell
and Latrobe, wheeled the heavy piece
into line, double shotted them, and
trained them on the advancing feder-
al line. Longstreet sighted both pieces
and jerked the lanyards with his own
hands. The effect was terrific. Both
shots went through, moving great
gaps in the federal line. The pieces
were loaded and trained rapidly, 20

NOTHING BUT GOOD NEWS.
The Cheerful Statement OF
Chairman Harrity.

New York, Sept. 25.-"We have
no news but good news" said Chair
man Harrity, yesterday, in reply to
question regarding the progress Of thu
campaign. ''The reports l get from
the doubtful states, especially in thu
South, are entirely satisfactory. Thu
outlook everywhere is bright and w
are pushing the canvass all over thu
country"
Mr.. Harrity is not given to rainbow
chasing. He has received reports
from every section of the country thi.
week, and speaks by the card. These
reports have been made personally and
by letter. They come from reliable
party workers and gave full and ac'
curate account of the movement Of the
campaign. Mr.. Harrity feels en-.
couraged at the outlook, and
80 do the other membe:s
of the committee. In Indiana the re.
publicans are split, the democrats
united and confident. The state il
believed now to be absolutely safe for
Cleveland. From Georgia comes the
new that General Weaver has discOn-
tinued his canvass in that state, and
this is taken to mean that the shadow
of force bill, with its resultant evils,
has brought the democrats Of that sec
ton to their senses. The campaign
in this state is progressing in the most
favorable way. With Senator Hill
and Lieutenant Governor Sheehan
canvassing the country districts, ex-
Secretary Bayard on the stump in the
east, and steady hard work on the
part of the local organization in this
city, the campaign may be said to
have opened in earnest. Mr.. Cleve-
land is expected to reach here next
week, and his presence will give an
added impetus to the work.
Among the visitors at national held-
quarters to-day was Congressman Dur
borrow of Illinois. He spent two hours
in conference with Chairman Harrity.
Talking of the situation in the West,
Mr.. Durborow said: 1.-The West GER
tainly offers very fair field to the
Democracy this year. ! feel sure that
we are on the eve of a political revo-
luton i'm the West. The Democrats
are thoroughly aroused and the eu-
thusiasm of the average Western dem
ocrat exceeds that of his Eastern
brother. We are going to repeat what
we did in the Congressional elections
of two years ago. | don't think there
is any doubt Of the election of our
candidate for Governor.
The democracy Of Chicago was
never 50 thoroughly and Systematically
organized as it is at present, and | be-
lieve that when the vote Is cast and
counted, Cleveland and Stevenson
will he found to have plurality in
the state. | believe Iowa will 20 demo
cratic. The democrats out there are
certainly confident. Governor Boies is
going to work just As hard As when he
was candidate for governor.

The State Campaign.

The Democratic State Executive
Committee was in session all day yes
terday at the State headquarters in
in the Laclede Hotel in St. Louis.
The committee is composed Of Major
Harvey w. Salmon, chairman; Sam
uel B. Cook, secretary; Thomas Cor.
ners, treasurer; G. {. Mafiitt, chair.
man of the State Committee; w. T.
jenkins, Edward A. Noonan, Senator
Teasdale and d. G. Allen. All the
members were present except Senator
Teasdale, who was represented by
proxy held by F. F. Rozzelle, and
Mayor NoOnan. Major Salmon pre-
sided over the meeting, which was
held with closed doors. None of the
proceedings were given out for publ
cation, but it was learned that cam
paign matters in general were discussed
and particularly the condition of af.
fairs in St. Louis. 1.-The State is in
magnificent shape" said one of the
gentlemen, land there is only one
portion that is giving US any trouble,
and that is St. Louis"
The committee, it was stated, feels
that the city committee is lax in the
discharge of its duties, especially in
the matter Of looking after the regis
tration, and anxious to have a vigor-
GUS campaign at once opened up.
What conclusion, if any, was come to
in regard to the city was not made
public, but from the fact that call
was issued by Chairman Maffitt for q
meeting of the general committee on
October, 4, it is surmised that the mat
ter was laid over until that time. The
executive committe adjourned last eve
ming at 6 o'clock, when most of the
left foa home.
