Interview with Gen Longstreet—Gen.
Grohs Ills Candidate for the Presi
dency.
The New York. Tribune of to'-day says :—Yes
terday a Chieftain of the late Rebellion, Gen,
James Longstreer. arrived in New York. Since
the war he acciptiii the situation and has used
his influence to counsel and guide his people and
to 'sad them safely back to an enduring peace.
Yestei day eve ling a reporter called upon the
Geuerai me New York Rotel. Imagine seated
at a table, a tall, well-built man in a snit of black.
The face is a kindly, pleasant one, the beard
is sandy and grizzled, and the cheeks
are allotted. The forehead is high and the
elves are gray and soft in expression.
The mouth squarely cut denotes decision,
and there is that quiet, resolute air about him
diet reminded one of General Grant, whom he
strongly resembles in looks and manners. Al
though: eufferlug from_an attack of fever he bore
himself resolutely above pain, and after dinner
conversed freely upon affairs In the Southern
States. As a portion of the conversation bears
directly upon the coming campaign I will give
it in lull.
Reporter—Do you think we.mill have better
days in the Southern :states?
„ Gen. Longstreet—Assuredly. The cotton crop
has been very large this year, and we will soon
have capital of our own to work upon.
Reporterluppose Seymour is elected, do you
think we will have another war?
Gen. L.—l cannot say as to that, but I believe
that if he is elected it will open all those old
James, and we will have trouble; bull don't think
he will beelected. • .
Repe—What do yen think a Prant?

he is above Meanness. ills silence's grand.

Gem L. (smilingly).—l will tell you all I
know.
Rep.—Will he keep his contracts In regard to
labor?
Gin. L.—l can relate my own experienee. My
men have worked well. They like to have a
white man come out in the field and tell them
what to do. There was always a class of lazy
men who would sit in their houses and give their
orders. These men deserve to have trouble.
Rep.—And in regard to jury trials—l mean ne
groes upon a jury bench?
Gen. L.—ln some cases that is bad—for in
stance, where an action involves an account.
Negroes generally are ignorant upon intricate
matters of business. But, if a district is disposed
to do right with them, the jury may be divided.—
white and black. They (the negroes) soon learn
and appreciate the position.
Rep.—About negro supremacy?
Gen. L.—Ah, that can never be; it is silly to
think of it. They can, never be stronger than
they are to-day, and, the whites of - the South
know it, but they are misled by the politicians.
Rep.—ln regard to the acts of Reconstruction?
Gen. advise my friends to accept them,
and come into the Union, and try to bring about
peace and prosperity. I told the people of Ala
bama if they would not be guided by the politi
cians they would come out all right.
Rep.--And_ you think it will come oat all right?
Gen. L.—l do; the crops are large. The cotton
crop is worth '5200,000,000. That is a step
toward bringing about the desired result. Chase
Was my man. I think if nominated he could
have been elected, and the Southern people would
flatly about him without knowing it; I cannot
vote for Seymour; bat any way, I think good
times are not far distant.
Letter from Governok Brovvulow.
Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, addressed
the following, letter to the recent Republicau
State Convention in Knoxville :
KNOXVILLE, Aug. 10, 1868.—Gentlemen: Being
denied the pleasure and the honor of meeting
with you in person and participating in your
deliberations, I take' this method to express to
yon my hearty sympathy with you and the great
Republican party of the nation, of which you are
a part. I congratulate you upon what I deem
the certain success of Grant and Colfax—the
former the greateat general of _the ago and the
Vise
nation—in the pending canvass; and I
also congratulate you - upon the certain utter
defeat of Seymour and Blair, the standard
bearers of the party of revolution and of: the re
storation of the "lost cause." The conflict is,
and is to be, sharp, bitter and unscrupulous so
far as our opponents are concerned, but ,We may
well conclude this is their "last ditch," ltd that
beaten here (as beaten they most assuredly will
be), the threatened temple of our national liberty
and laws will stand forth in its integrity, un
marred by the strife, and its permanence assured.
In order-to secure our triumph and perpetuate
our party in Tennessee it is of the utmost import
once that harniony prevail in our councils. At a
time like the present a true man would rather
sacrifice his own interests and submit to
foreeo his owns-personal claims than to
imperil the suestiss of the cause on which
so much depends, by insisting upon thorn. When
immigrants come to settle in oar State they should
be welcomed with earnest cordiality, without
stopping to inquire first on which side of the
Ohio they were born. Missouri, which has
adopted the policy Isuegest,and which,mere than
any other State, has received large accessions of
poptdaticai and wealth by immigration, will give,
it is supposed, a larger majority for Grant and
Colfax than she did in 1864 for Lincoln. Trusting
that you will have a harmonious and profitable
session, and that when you separate it shall be to
return to your homes and work for our noble
cause like beavers, 1,. have the honor to remain;
with high consideration, yours moat !respect

The .speech of the occasion was roade by
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1868.
James EBY, Esq.; if District No. 2, Falls town
ship. For the beneat of those who had not the
pleasure of hearing him we reproduce his speech
in full:
"My Fellourcitizens came down from my
pleasant home in the country, where I have spent
the best part of my life in feeding pigs, hoeing
corn and drinking whisky.- I have found that a
little good old corn whisky is good, it is whole
some, It is necessary to keep the Democracy from
oosing out at my libgers' ends—as litarryatt says
in one of his novels. I am known hereabodts;
many good old Democrats that inhabit this dark
ened spot have oftentimes taken charge of me
and tenderly treated me as ion , as I had money,
wheel was not in aperpendicular condition—
while my Republican friend above here menu and
many a time kicked me out of hls house in the
depth of winter, in the heat of summer, early In
spring and late in autumn. And why. my Demo
cratic fellow-citizens? Because I had been taking
a little of the creature to keep my patriotism
alive. You took me in, fellow Democrats—you
fed me with the feed that is good for me—you
nursed me tenderly, and I paid the-bills for all of
us, and on that account I am at this nole-raising
to tell you bow much I love you. (Cheers.. I
am a Democrat, - fellow-citizens; I don't know
Who Seymour is. Marryatt in his novels don't
mention him, and the works on shipwreck don't
say anything about him, and I don't care who he
is,;whether old or young, drunk or sober, good
or bad, black or white—he is on the Demo
cratic ticket and I will vote for him. l Great
cheering.( My Democratic citizens, I am
getting diy. I could tell you about all the
shipwrecks from Noah's first expedition to
the present, but I know you are dry, and I will
not consume your time. I will say that the old
shin is not going steady; something is wronz,the
rudder is - shippedi - breakelii' - are - airrear;, Ado W.
will run aground unless we elect Sey
mour or Jeff. Davis, or some other good man.
Vociferous cheering.') The White House is in
mourning for the good old Democrats of yore. I
am an Irishman, and being an Irishman I hate a
nigger; but I am ready to swallow nigger, boots
and all, if we can have the good old Democratic
times we bad from 1856 to 1860. My fellow Dem
ocrats, the pole is up, I helped to raise her, and
now all I ask of you is to raise me if ever you
should see me in need of raising. Now let us all
drink."
At this time Jim retired, and the crowd sent up
cheer upon cheer for Jim.
The Southern Leaders Paean War.
Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, in
a speech made in Atlanta on the 18th inst., spoke
thus of the designs of the rebel leaders:
"Not only do the Democratic platform, Mr.
Seymour's letter of acceptance, and Gen. ftlair's
letter to Brodhead,threaten the peace of the coun
try, but the action and the speeches of the South
ern leaders of the disunion party, styling itself
the Democratic party. indicate revolution beyond
a doubt. In 1860 I acted with those lead
ers, I knew their counsels, I heard their
popular harangues, and their appeals to
the prejudices of the people. They touched the
popular heart, and they moved the mass to ac
tion. I hear the same expressions now, the same
artful appeals to popular prejudices, the same
keynotes to revolution. And I see the people
who have lost heavily by the war and whose pre
judices, as these leaders know, are on that ac
count the more easily moved, shouting to the
war cry, and moving forward like sheep to the
slaughter: - ' Disappointed ambition drives the
leaders forrigd: Thff once_ atoqd., high in 'llse
National tedirSeds." - "TakSY'Wein indeed masters of
the position. They,rotle.upon the storm and di
rected its fury. ' ErclUded from the Cabinet and
the Senate. like fallen angels, some of them now
prefer to "rule in hell rather than serve in hea
ven." If they cannot govern this country they
are determined to destroy it. And as they are
disfranchised on account of, their rebellion, and
see no hope of early relief from their' disabilities.
and have no assurance of popular favor if re
lieved, they feel that they have little to lose and
may have something to gain by another appeal
to arms."
Democratic Campaign Song.
One of tho Western papers prints the following
as the certainly appropriate Democratic cam
paign song :
" Nigger, Nigger, Nigger,
Nigger, Nigger, Nig,
Nigger, Niger, Nigger,
Nigger, Nigger, Nig.
" Nigger, Nigger, Nigger,
Nigger, Nigger, Nig,
Nigger, Nigger, Nigger,
Nigger, Nigger, Nig."
There is a little "sameness" about it: but it
contains pretty much all the arguments found in
Mr. Blair's letter.

Another Attack on Bone—Lutrignua
of the Garibaidinutts.
An Italian correspondent writes: My observa
tion and information tend to confirm me in the
impression that the party of action is secretly
agitating throughout Italy. In the first place
Menotti and Ricciotti Garibaldi are constantly
traveling in Italy and make frequent voyages to
Canrera. When visiting Italian towns they are
known to have long confidential interviews with
leading Garibaldian partisans, and it is not un
reasonably concluded that these visits, costing
long and expensive journeys, are not undertaken
for the mere pleasure of exchanging friendly sal
utations.
Menotti Garibaldi, according to a Turin demo
cratic organ, has lately also visited England in
order to collectginds for a second Garlbaldian
invasion. - His "brother Ricciotti. it may be re
membered, madd a similar visit last year with
very good results.
Another sigoaificant point is that a movement
has recently been set afoot to organize mutual
relief or benefit societies among the Garibaldlans.
Such ir3 tb 7Yifridancemtinti vi Lae - iujufrna - tire
Moniteur of Italian democracy. 'his looks mar
vellously like a revivification, under an innocent
title, of the societies established last year aid
of what 'were called the Roman insurgents, al
beit the insurgents all came from this side of the
frontier. People ask, pertinently enough, why
Garibaldians should form special benefit
societies, and regard the movement as an
organization for political purposes—a view
which I perfectly share with them. The places
at which secret enlistments' of volunteers are said
to be most actively carried on are Terai, Orvieto,
Leghorn and Genoa. Terni is the residence of
Metro Faustini, one of Garibaldi's most devoted
partisans,. while Barilli an old Garibaldlan cap
taint who took a probainent part in hen year's
movement. is established at Genoa. Naples is
another active revolutionary centre. , I wie the
term revolutionary inaiamnch as Mazzini and
Garibaldi now make common cause, and the suc
cess of a Garibaldian invasion of Rome, unsup
pOrted or opposed by the Italian government,
will be a critical moment in the fortunes of the
Savoy monarchy.
Nothing More urgently demonstrates the ne
cessity for a solution, of the Roman question
before Italy ean•be really tranquil and prosperous
than the cruel dilemma in which it may auy day
place the government of the country. Let there
be a strong , popular feeling in Italy, resulting in
the departure'of volunteers
"feeling
for the
Roman State,. could. the Italian government
suffer a second iiinetapa and live? Victor Emman
ttel's popularity received a severe shack last year
by reason-of -- the e- hesitating -- pusillanimity with
which be refused to follow Rattazirs counsel
of despatehlitg an Italian - array to, antici
pate the French at Rome: Would not the gov
ernment be equally damaged by violent and
forcible repression of a Garlbaidian movement
supported by. the fealing of tbt' majority of the
nation? Finally, -let imanppose an insurreCtion_
tO break out at Rome, to be doubtless exalt
gtdshed in blOod by Freneli '
troops and Pontifical
mercenaries. Could any government resist 'the,
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.,
indignant clamor that would then be raised in
Italy for intervention in the Roman States, even
t the risk of rupture with France? The whole
question is a thorny one, and much mom blood
will yet be spilt to solveit. 'T/s a pity that the
"solution" of European questions nowadays
generally assumes the same ensanguined hue.
Prussia and Italy.:
The London Standard ridicules the idea that
Prussia has interposed to threaten Italy with her
displeasure if she joins an alliance with France.
Certainly if there were any negotiations for an
alliance between France and Italy, an alliance
which should place the army of Italy at the dis
position of France in exchange for her protection,
an interposition like that attributed to Count Use
dem, would bring them to a speedy and success
ful termination. Italy has nothing to fear from
Prussia; a 1 though she may have something to gala
from her alliance, if she, can have it with
out offending France. Napoleon has the keys of
Italy. Be could raise, with hardly an effort, a
Catholic insurrection which would occupy half
the Italian army, not to suppress, but to watch
it, whilst obliging the rest to stand ready for the
protection of Piedmont. And what about Aus
tria ? Italy certainly could not do anything of
' herself to gain the provinces she seeks ; she
could hardly help Prussia, and Prussia could give
her no real aid. On the other hand Prussia can
do her no harm as an enemy. General von Moltke
cannot reach her frontier, and as for the Prussian
fleet, poor as her own is, she could drive it in a
few days out of the Mediterranean. But the
great joke is the threat that Prussia will form a
strategical combination with the Italian National
party—in other words, raise a revolution against
King Victor Emmanuel. All the help Prussia
could give to such a movement would be peen
niary,-autl gritutingthe - ItaliarrNa
enough to fall into the trap, the only persons
to reap the 'advantage would be the Reactionist
party.
The Austrian achutzenfest.
The following account of the great Schutzen
fest now being held in Vienna will be found in
teresting :
Descending from groups to Individuals we find
that the king of the hooting feat (to the present)
is a countryman named Michael Frasier, from the
Vorarlberg, who, with three shots, made sixty
points on the Feld Industrie target. This is the
highest, possible number. One Hans Larsen,
from Drammon, Norway, who fires with a
weapon of his own invention, has greatly dis
tinguished himself both by the rapidity and pro.
Melon of his shots. He hasheen invited by the
Imperial Minister of War to call on, him and ex
bibit his weapon. I shall have occasion to speak
of this competitor from the Far Northwest when
I describe the Kaiser's visit to the Festplatz.
One of the_sharpehooters_from Amerie.a has
won a goblet. He is Mr. Timothy Grttaz, of
Highland, Illinois. Mr. Grnaz first learned to
handle the king of weapons in Switzerland. He
has lived twenty years in the United States, and
his right hand has not forgotten its cunning.
I give the names of the competitors from the
United States as I find them printed in the Tag-
Glatt, of this city. They are:—Louis J. Ladner,
of Philadelphia; C. J. Young, of Baltimore; M.
Briel, of Washington; Rud: Wick; of Louisville;
Jacob E. Bommer, Peter Rath,' J. Lederer M.
Oppenheim,Paul de Glimes,iand Joseph
of New York; Max Fetterbacher and. Gottfried
Volker, from St. Louis: Sal. Elsner and Max
Gram_, 97 San Joser,ClolleajiArk.-geuryl,_Platl
pti2r, t.. 12 .4,a3 3A4 Ferdinand Brans,
from Cincinnati; -Ulrich Miller, from Kutztown;
Captain Reichard, from Wilkesbarre; Timothy
Grauz:tuid Karl Glatter, from Highland, ill.
Thursday afternoon the Kaiser visited the Fest
Platt. I saw him' as he drove down the Ring and
Prater streets,accompanied by one adjutant,and I
could not help wondering whether he noticed chat
the, in Austria, long persecuted national German
colors (black, red and gold) were now displayed in
the most fashionable quarters of the Kaiserstadt
twice as often as. the Austrian colors (black and
yellow). This munificent dis Flay of the German
tri-color is in itself a sign of the new era in West
Austria.
Arrived at the Fest-Halle, he was presented
with two goblets of wine and beer. Choosing
the former, he drank "to the welfare of the
sharpshooters here assembled." He was then
conducted to the gift temple, at the portal of
which be was met by -two Low German peasant
girls, who have come hither with the Ham
burgers, and who prolibred a monster bouquet
carrying the device, "The sharpshooters to the
Empress." Hereupon the Kilter remarked, "I
will deliver it fresh to:my wife, as I depart for
Isch this evening." When the Emperor
entered the shooting hall the shooters
ceased firing and hurried to welcome him.
"Pray continue to shoot; gentlemen, please
go on. lao not wish to 'interrupt any one. I
am a friend of the sharphooters, and no one
should stop his work." He stepped Into a stand
where one of the few sharpshooters from France
happened to be about to fire. On being informed
that his companion was a Frenchman, he said,
"yon are a Frenchman, I hear ?" "Yes, sire, I
am from Lorraine, and, as the Mayor of Nancy
told you on your arrival in our city on your way
to the Paris Exhibition, we have not forgotten
the benefits which your ancestors conferred upon
our province."
The Kaiser thanked the Lorrainer for his hap
py reply.
At one of the Industrie targets the Kaiser ac
cepted a musket. He shot three times. The
first and second shots struck the centre! the third
hit the target to the left of the centre. To the
invitation to take another shot, the Emperbr re
plied, "Let ns go, else I shall do worse." On
leaving the shooting stands the Kaiser was pre
sented with a glass of beer, which he emptied.
When, however, a silver goblet of wine was
offered him, he smiled and only took a sip, re
marking thereafter that if he emptied so many
classes the natural consequences would ensue.
This obiervation caused great mirth. When the
Kaiser had visited all the buildings and had
chatted with the architect and contractor, he
prepared

The Swiss and French Alliamee.
The Bund, of Berne, send-official orgaz of the
Swiss Federal Council, piablishes the following
contradiction to the rumors of negotiations be
tween the French and Swiss governments :
"We cannot say what truth there is in the com
munications said to be taking place between

And her cheek was as soft asitte softest of dough,
And sweet was the song that at evening abc sang,
By the bright flowing waves of the..Yang-tze-
Her eyes slanted down• like the lightning's fast

•And her skin was the color of chocolate cream,
And wildly her screams •on• the evening'air rang-
As she tried for to walk by the Timg-tze-klang.
But, alas, tier dear feet were so daintly+small,•
That they couldn't support her dear form, not

And e'en as a ball from a rifle goes bang,
She plunged in tie waves of the Yarrptze-klang.
And often at-night de I walk by the brink,
I see a white shape rising out of the drink; -
