HONOR DEAD GENERAL
LONGSTREET REMEMBERED BY
VETERANS AS FINE FIGHTER.
RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
MAY BE INTRODUCED IN CONFED-

The death of Gen. James Longstreet
was learned in Savannah yesterday
with profound regret. To many Con-
federate veterans he was known per-
sonally, among them, Capt. L. G..
Young, and Gen. Peter McGIashan
while even to those by whom he was
unknown the news of his death was
received with sincere regret for his

the few prominent figures of the Con-
federacy.

regret at the death of the dead war

meeting of the Confederate Veterans
Association, which will be held to-mor-

be introduced.
Gen. Longstreet's political views aft

pressed in his book tended in a large
measure to ALLEVIATE the affections OF
a number of. veterans, who resented the
criticisms of Lee. but even the men
who objected most strenuously to these
views admitted Longstreet's SOL

McGIashan Served with Him.
Gen. Peter McGhshan, who served
in Lougstreet's corps as colonel of the
Fiftieth Georgia Regiment, Powell j..
Semmes brigade, said last night that
the soldiers thought great deal of
Longstreet during the war, and
that such criticism of him as had been
made since that time was due chiefly
in his opinion to his political views.
Gen. Longstreet, he said, was of strong
convictions and a most capable SOL
der. though not always in harmony
with the views of other officers with
whom he was associated.
Capt. Young, though not attached to
Longstreets corp, was in the fight Of
the Wilderness on the day that Long

his pursuit of Hancock's forces, that
appeared to be mortal at the time it
was received, and that troubled Cen

How Second Hand Bicycle cave

From the Worlds Work
A clerk in a small store in a West
ern city grew tired some years ago
of owning his bicycle.
"why don't you sell it?" suggested
his friend
81 think I WILL" said the youth, and
he inserted an advertisement in the
morning paper.
At . o'clock the following morning
purchaser appeared, who bought the
wheel for $40. At $50 appeared an
other.
I'D like to see that bicycle you ad-
vertised, said he.
But I've sold it." the young man
said
About 10 o'clock two other men ask
( ed to see him, though by this time
his employer was beginning to frown.
When the young man returned to work
an idea struck him.
There seem to be a good many peo-
| pie looking for second hand bicycles, "

At lunch time he hurried to the

/ callers in answer to the first adver-
I tisement. The next day his expert
ence was, briefly. this: Besieged al
morning by people with bicycles for
sale, he asked each seller to leave his

on THE Trinity of Giant Evils that

is doubtless a variety of opinion. While
the three that shall mention may not
be commonly accepted as the greatest,
by all who have the best interest of
the community at heart, they must be
regarded as great evils. Let no one
say that the preachers are giving the
city bad name. 1t had the reputa-
ton of being an open town before we
came. I have never gotten far enough
in my travels to pass the limit of
this reputation. The protest of the
preachers is for the good of the town

self-possessed, even cheerful, and bore
himself with the same spirit that had
marked him on the Battlefield. It was
this wound, Capt. Young thinks, that
kept the Confederate army from MAX
ing an even greater success of the
battle of the Wilderness than it did.
When He Was wounded.
The command of A. P. Hill, with
which Capt. Young was Connected
had been fighting all the day before
that on which Gen. Longstreet was
wounded, and was pretty we'll worn
out, so that Longstreet was ordered up
to take its place. The enemy attacked
before Longstreet arrived, however,
and came very near to overrunning
Lees headquarters, but when Long
street finally arrived he drove the enc
my back and with flanking move
ment directed by Gen. C. NJ. Sorrel,
his chief of staff, utterly routed Han
cock. At temporary halt Longstreet
rode to the front to reconnoitre, and
it was then that he received his wound,
inflicted by fire from his own men.
A peculiar coincidence in this case
is that it was in almost the same place
and under similar conditions that
Stonewall Jackson was wounded. How
great an effect on later battles this
wound of Longstreets had is shown
by a remark of Gen. Hancock's after
the war when, in conversation with
Gen. Longstreet, he recalled the battle
and asked why the movement that
had driven his forces from their po-
sition had not been followed up. He
was told that Longstreet having been
wounded the command of the force
devolved upon another, who had failed
to follow up the advantage. and he re-
marked that it had been fortunate for
him that such had been the case for
his force had been "rolled up like a
wet blanket"
Taught Men to Fight.
Longstreet had the reputation among
the soldiers of being slow to begin a
battle, Capt. Young says, but when
once he had joined battle he was a
splendid fighter, appearing almost ir-
resistible One of the best things he
did for the army was in teaching his
men how to fight-that is, how to take
works. He taught the men how a thing
should be done, put the fighting spirit
into them, and then expected them to
carry out his orders.
Capt. Young was once sent, during
the second day at Mechanicsville, to
tell Hill and Longstreet that a work
that part of the command had been
ordered to take from the front was
so strong that a successful movement
against it from that quarter was i'm
possible, and that the general rec
commended a flank movement. To this
communication Longstreet replied:
Go back and tell those generals they
will never accomplish anything unless
they try: that the work must be taken.
and in the manner ordered, and that
thew must advance at the sound of
Grigg's guns on the right" The in
structions were carried out, and the
works taken with but a slight loss to
the Confederate forces, as it proved
that the enemy had the intrenchments
but lightly guarded.
