Wheeler on LongStrcet.

Special Correspondence Alexandria Gazette. ]
WASHINGTON, May 29-In General
Longstreet's recent public letter giving
his reasons for turning republican short
" after the war, General Joe Wheeler
is mentioned as having been one of o
number OF other prominent ex-Confed-
crates who met in New Orleans ir 1867
and agreed that General Longstreet
should lead off in letter advising the
people Of the South to accept the situa-
ton. General Wheeler, who is now an
active, eficiert and influential member
of the House from Alabama, being ask
ed to-day what he knew of the meeting
referred to, replied as follows
was in New Orleans during most Of
1866 and 1867, but never heard OF any
such meeting My relations with Gen.
Longstreet during the war were of the
kindest character, and while | depre-
Gated his political course, did not al
low it to affect my personal feelings to
wards him.
In 1867 Gen. Longstrect read me a
letter which he bad prepared for publ
cation and / advised emphatically
against it, / fully concurred with him
that Confederates should scrTpulously
obey the laws, but | advised him to
avoid any expressions which would in
any way justify the conclusion that
h., doe; vol ,o coun,nponna tho ranulG
can party, much less to join it.
Generals Bragg, Hood and Buckner
afterwards told me that General Long
street had talked to them, and each Of
them told me they deprecated his pro-
posed course The Confederate soldiers
have always used what influence they
could in the cause of law and order,
and have always extended every cour-
tesy to Federal soldiers in the South,
and | think they in turn have always
received the greatest courtesy from
Federal soldiers in the North: but we
all regarded this as having no connec-
ton with becoming member of a po-
litical party which has always been
hostile to the southern people and to
every interest they possess. 1 think
General Longstreet is right that in 1867
the people preferred that the southern
States should remain under military
rule rather that they should be placed
under negro rule. never heard that
any threats were made against General
Longstreet. The only expressions l
ever heard were those of regret and
pity that he should take such a mis-
taken course.
