LONGSTREET SET RIGHT
It has been reported that Gen.
I ongstreet’s book,now in the hands
of the printers, declares that ‘'Gen.
Lee was a poor commander,” and
criticizes him severely in many re
spects. This, the publishers deny
in the following card :
( < In regard to the article in the
New York World we desire to say
that it must certainly be an error
the reporter to have represented
General Longstreet as making any !
such remark as the one attributed !
to k ' m (that Gen. Lee was a poor |
general.) General Lee has no J
more loyal supporter than Long
street, aud his book will give hi
commander all due credit. We can
positively assure you that no such
language or intimation that Lee
was a poor commander appears in
way. He speaks of him on ail
with the greatest respect
admiration, both as a general
as a man.”
This is most gratifying to all
hold the old “war horse” as
as his great commander in
As we have heretofore
General Longstreet, by his
years of splendid service to
confederacy, has earned the
to criticize even Robert E.
but such criticism w’ould have
the public estimate of his
judgment as well as his gen¬
impulses. A braver nor a
man does not live than Gen¬
Longstreet.—[Rome Tribune.

consecrated by the primate, and
