places beds of flowers with the sole pur-
pose of identifying the same and max
ing our city more attractive. Now as
the plants commence to throw out beau

ties are INDUCING in plucking and tramp

Gen. Longsfreef to Gen. Sickies.

The following letter from General
Longstreet, a gallant and historical
figure Of the confederate forces during
the civil war, to General Sickles OF the
Union army, explains itself. The Tri-
bune is able to publish the frank and
emotional letter through the courtesy
| of Capt. d. C. Rogers, now of this city,
but recently Of Milwaukee, who enlist
| ed in the 10th N. Y. volunteers, went
out with Gen. Sickles in command and
served under him in the battle OF
Gettysburg and other fierce engage
| ments, during which rebel bullets
pierced his flesh three times. Being one
of the now few survivors Of Sickles'
heroic command, Capt. Rogers has
been presented with typewriter
copy Of the original letter;
Washington, Sept. 10, 1902.
General d. E. Sickles,
Gettysburg, Pa.
My Dear General les:-My plan
and desire was to meet you at Gettys-
burg on the interesting ceremony at
tending the unveiling Of the Slocum
monument; but today find myself in
no condition to keep the promise made
you when last we were together. | am
quite disabled from severe hurt in one
of my feet, so that am unable to stand
more than a minute or two at time.
Please express my sincere regrets to
the noble Army of the Potomac, and to
accept them, especially, for yourself.
On that field you made your mark
that will place you prominently before
the world as one of the leading figures
of the most important battle of the
Civil War AS northern veteran once
remarked to me: General Sickles can
well afford to leave leg on that field. "
believe that it is now conceded that
the advanced position at the Peach Or
chard, taken by your corps and unser
your orders saved that battlefield to the
Union cause 1t was the sorest and sad
dest reflection Of my life for many
years; but, today, | can say, with SIN
cerest emotion, that it was and IS the
best that could have come to US all,
North and South; and hope that the
nation reunited, may always enjoy the
honor and glory brought to it by that
grand work.
Please offer my kindest salutations to
your Governor and your fellow-com-
rades of the Army of the Potomac.
Always yours sincerely,
