ston the South would have won the con-
fliCt One of the greatest errors that Lee
ever made was al the battle Of Gettys-
burg, when Meade outwitted him on
every side. 1t has been said that Lee
had the disadvantage oe being in such a
position that his men had terrible OBJ
sacles to overcome; but If the Union
forces possessed such fine position on
the heights above, while Lees men
were below in the DEVILS Den, it was
due to the fact that Meade outgeneraled
Lee and secured such advantage by his
superior tactics.
Lee had just the same chance to get
the heights that Meade had, but he did
not, and his men had to climb up hills
and fight in the face of what was a nat
ural citadel, where Meade was lodged.
Johnston was the superior of Lee in
every way, but he was hampered by
having incurred the displeasure Of Pres
ident Davis. The finenes of Johnston's
judgment is shown by the fact that he
was anxious TO march Immediately on
Washington just after the victory at
Manassa, but the reason he did not do
so, so Johnston always said, was that
he was obliged to obey Davis orders.
which prevented his making what
would have been the coup d'etat of the
conflict and have brought speedy sue
cess to the Southern arms. Had John
stOn marched on Washington it would
have fallen. The South would thus
have secured the key to the situation.
81 was with the army when the sur
render took place at Appomattox.
When Lee found that We were cut off
he sent for me and told me that he
could not get away. He said that It
was impossible to escape, and wanted to
know what plan of action l would pro-
pose. l told him that, as he stated the
matter, 1t was its own master. He
then sent for General Malone and made
the same statements to him, AMI Ma
hone advised him to see General Grant
about matters. Lee approved of this
advice, got on his horse and rode out to
find Grant.
while he was gone I heard a report
which led me to believe that it was Dos
sible to cut our way out Of the Union
lines that were hemming us in. and
decided to stop Lee on his errand IN
Grant. Lee had considerable start. but
I sent for the feetest courier in the
army to race after him and bring him
back from his mission. Yet the condl-
ton Of the men and horses was such
that II seemed impossible to get a fresh
courier for the errand.

General James Longstreet has Just

his publishers about his new BOOK
which will soon appear. He expects that
the records which he has collected VIII

some of the Virginians believe that

of mistakes.

Republican Congressman Grosyenor
says:
There is no reason to doubt that the
Republicans will gain a substantial
victory in Ohio at the coming election.
No one will expect a majority such as
Mckinley had in 1898, or as Taylor had.

erent. but IL is my opinion that the Re
publican majority viii not fall short of
a large increase over the normal ma
jority in Ohio, which l estimate surely
al $4,000. There can be no intelligent
estimate, however, Of majorities or
pluralities at this time. We are con-
tent TO rest assured of a great victory.
In the matter of the Legislature. both
branches will be Republican, and on a
Joint ballot a safe Republican majority
which insures the election of Governor
Foraker as United States Senator.

I toldl him not to spare the mare, to kill
it if necessary, but find Lee at all
events before he reached General
Grant. Heiskell set out at a thunder
ing rate, but when he got to Lee it was
too late. | afterwards discovered that
the report which had reached me was
false, so it was well enough that Heis-
kell had not succeeded in catching Lee
before he had communicated with
Grant.
Gen. Malone was a good soldier and
a good worker In January, 1868, |
was before Petersburg, and left to go
down to Suffolk, but before leaving
laid out my lines extending them from
Petersburg almost to Charlottesville
as | supposed that the enemy might
come around and make an attack on
my left. l wished to defend my line at
hte crossing of the river and at the
plank road, hence put all the troops to
work. Whenevr l made tour of in
spection | always found Malone at MS
post, which is more than l can say LOT
some of the other officers. Malone was
a fine engineer.
"Mahone's unpopularity in Virginia
was due to his politics. Ihey attacked
him in the Senate because he helped 10

dav. | think he was patriotic and
sincere in all his political life, and if he
was disliked at the last it was because
Virginians did not like his belonging
to the Republican party.
81 commenced to write my book on
the war about seven years ago. At
that time collected some data and had
some maps drawn, but my house caught
fire and burned to the ground, destroy
ing a good deal of the material l had
collected. and my health becoming
very bad about that time | abandoned
the idea of writing a book. In two
or three times from that time, however,
nv health became very much improved
and so l took up writing again, collect
ed the data over and have worked on it
since. The publishers expect to have
the book out in months time.
Cup to the time commenced writing
I had no idea of writing anything
about the war, for I supposed there
were so many other people writing
about it that there was no use of my say
ing anything. l thought my record, as
it was. would tell what | had done.
However, so many of the people who
did write books wrote so strongly
against me that / was forced to say
