WADE ,HAMPTON'S VIEWS.
Says a Government Like Ours Cannot
Operate Railroads.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Genl. Wade
Hampton, commissioner of railroads,
returned today from an extended trip
over the government roads which are
under his supervision. The commis-
sionec says he encountered in Cali
fornia great deal of clamor for gov
crnment control of not only the Union
GDd Central Pacific roads, but of all
roads. Both of these propositions are
opposed by the commissioner He
said: A government such as ours can
not operate railroads. In autocratic
governments it is possible, but not in
this. The demand for the foreclos Ire
of the Pacific roads does not como
from the best informed people of the
Pacific coast, although It has got to
be very popular movement in the
West.

LETTERS FROM GEN. swEENY.

A number of personal letters written
home by the late Gen. Thos. W. Sweeny
during his service at the front, from
1861 to 1865, have been placed at our
disposal by his son, and will be given
our readers during the coming Winter.
Gen. Sweeny served in the Mexican war
in the I'd n. Y, and at its conclusion
was given a commission in the Regular
Army, in which he remained till his
death. He was a Captain in the I'd
Z. S. when the war broke out, and sided
zealously with the Union. He was soon
commissioned a Brigadier-General of
Missouri troops, and then Colonel of the
SD ILL.,, from which he was promoted
to Brigadier-General, and commanded
a division in the Army of the Tennessee
on the Atlanta campaign.

GEN. JAMES $. NEGLEY.

Who helped TO make so much of the
glorious history of the old Army Of the
Cumberland, has promised to write an
article for THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
The splendid brigade which he took from
Pittsburg to Kentucky in the Fall of
1861, and which bore his name, can
almost be said to be the nucleus around
which the Army of the Ohio-after-
ward the Cumberland-formed. He
had long and varied experience, and
whatever he chooses to say will be read
with the deepest interest, not only by
the survivors of Stone River and Chick
amauga, but by all veterans

PHILADELPHIA is essentially an
American city. Its people, foreign or
native born, are American citizens, who
believe in conducting things on Ameri-
can principles. They live in State
which is overwhelmingly for Protection
to American labor and the greatest
development of the education and we'll
being of the workingman. New York
and Chicago are controlled by the
opposite elements the Free Traders,
operating by means of ignorant masses of
voters who have not been here long enough
to become Americanized. The "SIum
Bulletin of the last census gives some
interesting figures in this connection.
While Philadelphia has more than
l 100000 inhabitants, she has only 3d.
900 residing in the slums, while New
York has $4,000, and Chicago $780,
900. In New York 8208 per cent. of
the population, and $3.50 per cent. in
Chicago live in tenement houses, while
in Philadelphia but 400 per cent. live
in tenements. In other words, four out
of every five people in New York, and
two out Of every five in Chicago live in
tenements, while in Philadelphia only
one out of every 20 lives so. In New
York only II per cent. of the families
occupy a whole house, while in
Philadelphia 84.64 per cent. of them
have house to themselves. In New
York there are an average of 1882
persons to every dwelling; in Chicago
$50; while in Philadelphia there are
but $50. Philadelphiais city of Ameri-
can homes; New York and Chicago are
cities of barracks for human cattle,
worked by sweaters, and voted for free
trade and the degradation of American
institutions.

PERSONAL.

Frank L. Stanton, the Georgia poet, says of
Gen. Sherman that when the Union forces in
vaded Savannah the General placed guard at
the house of the poets father, who was q North
ern man, and afterward visited him. While
he was there the infantile poet came into the
room, and Sherman, taking him upon his knee
said This is a fine fellow, but his head is q
heap too big"
recent story of Carter B. Harrison finding
the body of his Confederate friend, Joel Allen
Battle after Shiloh has been contradicted by a
friend of both. Carter 3. Harrison lived at
North Bend o., just below Cincinnati, the old
Harrison homestead. He was in the Junior
class at Miami University when the war broke
out in April, 1861. and went to the front in the
Goth Ohio. Joel Allen Battle was graduated at
Miami University in June, 1859, and was
young lawyer iii Nashville when the war broke
out. He was at the battle of Mill Springs, KY,
as a Confederate officer, where the rebel Gen.
Zollicoffer was killed. He was killed in the
battle of Shiloh in April, 1862. His body was
not found by young Harrison. but by two of
his old college mates, Cliff Ross, of Terre Haute,
Ind, and Jno. c. Lewis, now of Chicago. They
were officers in Grants army, and in looking
over the field after the second days fight found
tho body of Battle and sent it to Nashville, then
in Federal possession.
At the recent session of the Army of the
Tennessee at Council Bluffs, Iowa, it was shown
that the fund for the erection of a monument
to Gen. Sherman had reached $4,000, which
it is thought will reach twice that sum within
year.
1t is told of the late Gen. Banks, that at
one time in his youth he had quite strong
liking for the stage, on which he made one
appearance, at the National Theater in Boston.
