The Death of General Longstreet.

The death of Gen. James Longstreet removes
one of the last of the men who reached the high
est rank in the Confederate Army. General
Longstrcet lived to the great age of SO years, and
was active and in harness almost to the day of
his death. He was one of the most picturesque
figures of his time, and was undoubtedly one of
the great soldiers Of the nineteenth century. He
was severely criticised for many things. He
made mistakes, as all men have. He was some
times slow, his critics said, and did not fully APP
prcciatc the value of time in military operations.
After the war was over General Lee declared I'M
hcsitatingly that if he had had jackson at Get
tysburg he would have won the victory. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee quote Gen. R.. E. Lee as having said
that the battle would have been gained if Gen
eral Longstreet had obeyed the order given him
and attacked early, instead of late; that Long
street was a brilliant soldier when once engaged,
but the hardest man to move in my army" Mil
itary critics have questioned his capacity for in
dependent command and declared that he was at
times impatient of control. Nevertheless, Cen
eral Lee trusted him and spoke of him affection
ately as his cold war horse"
Longstreet was not only trusted by his great
leader, but he was idolized by his men. When he
entered the service of the Confederate States, at
the beginning of the war, he was a veteran sol
der. He graduated at West Point in 1912, and
had been in active service for 20 years when he
resigned his commission to fight the battles of
his own people and his native State. Like so
many others of the Confederate generals-Lee,
Beauregard, Johnston, d. H. Hill and A. Z. Hill,
Huger and Ewell-he had gained distinction IN
the Mexican War. He had been struck down
while carrying the colors at Chapultepec, and
was bracketed for gallant conduct with Lleuten-
ant Pickett. The names of Longstreet, Jackson,
A. P. Hill, D. H. Hill, Ewell and others cluster
around that of r. E. Lee, the greatest soldier of
modern times, as those of the great marchals
around Napoleon.-Baltimore Sun.
