LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

To He Editor ofhe Ca,aaan Ne,cS:
 Dear Sir
 I notice in your paper of last week that "Loco" of Winsted calls you to an account for late editorial wherein you stated that there is not now living gen. eral who commanded on either side in our Civil war; "Loco" says that there is Jubal A. Early of the Confederate army and Nathaniel P. Banks of the Union army. I take the liberty of cor recting the corrector by stating that |, General Early died March 2, 1894 and General N. P. Banks died Sept. l, 1894 Gen. Banks was not classed even in his own state of Massachusetts as am ong the great comm anders in our Civil wal. He was good civil officer but in mili- tary affairs almost failure.
 It is fact, MT Editor, that with the exception of John A. Schofeld, Daniel Sickles, Wade Hampton and John B. Gordon all the great commanders of ''the war between the states" have pass cd from time to eternity; they are not dead; but "they rest from their labors and their works do follow them"
