(liens. Johnson nnd McClellan.
These eminent leaders have been
playing a game of hide and seek for
10 months—tho vastest preparations
and the least fighting in tho histoyy of
war.
Not less than 200,000 man, including
both armies, havo been in common
shot of each other for nearly a year,
without a battle, riling to tile dignity
of n general ongugement.
Viewed in one aspeot, this is very
creditable to the boligarents— it shows
a highly civilized spirit, humanity
forbidding an unnecessary effusion of
blood, That there is a tendency in
that direction, wo are glad to sco and
to admit—if tho dread of human
slaughter was united to thoso virtuous
principles which would make wars un
necessary, tlion, indeed, would the
world b« rid of its groatest curse. But
this is not tho case, ns tho present
war clearly proves. Tho Yankees,
though' so reluctant to kill and to be
killed, are prodigiously given to .steal
ing and to all dishonorable modcB of
warfare.
Few, comparatively, of our troops
llhve fallen in battle, but much of th6
evils of war, outside of human des
traction, have boon visited on the land.
How much of this could ltavo been
averted by moro nctivo military move
ments, is of course only a speculative
question. Hew few lives have really
been preserved by inaction in sickly
camps that would otherwise ltavo been
sacrificed in battle, is n question of tho
same kind. But it docs not seem hard
to answer either of them in a way
that reflects little credit on tho sagaci
ty of our leaders." We havo lost incred
ibly in munitions, in life, in prestige by
the humanitarian views which seem to
have controlod our armies. It is get
ting to ho doubtful whether much more,
loss in the same way will leave us any
thing elso to sacrifice, but. a precarious
hope of ultimate success.
Tliere never was a braver soldiery
mastered in tlie field, one more ardent
and’ self-sacrificing," therefore well pre
pared for daring, nnd hazards, panting
for tho word to advance, pining at the
word retreat. But they nro officered
by men whose profession is arms—men
of science, but of routine, whoso move
ments are cautious to the .excess of
timidity.
Original and daring exploits nro nev
er -attempted—they are net in tho
books. Wo will look in vain for a first-
class military mind in e.ithor ranks, un
less it be found in • Price or Catain
Morgan 1 -McClellan is culled “the
young Napoleon,” but surely none but
an inflated Yankee will deem the com
parison anything but irony or caraon-
ure. What little he has aohieved in
his own department might havo been
fleeted six months ago, what his great
antagonist has accomplished yet re
mains to be seen—great results are ox-
pectod.
No doubt- Gen. Johnson is as good in
’affliction as in retreat, when begets
into one, hilt ho will have to be con
fronted'by a Gen; less nbla than Mc
Clellan, if lie finds a man willing to
'fight, while the objects of battle can
be gained by meeting strategy with
strategy. McClellan will never offer
him bnttle except under circumstances
that will make it prudent to ‘decline.
If Gen. Johnson is rendy, the enemy
will not be for the same reason, and
therefore wo do not expect any sorious
engagement, while these two command
ers aro in their present relative places.
Soinethiqg must - be hazarded in war,
or ’reputation itself will be jeoparded'
if nothing else is lost.
Not long since we heard a wise man
express the" opinion that Stonewall
Jagkson would become the hero of the
war, possessing in his judgment high
er mental nnd moral endowments
than any. commander in the Confed
erate army. It may be premature to
calculate on great results from his -re
cent credjtablo achievements, but wo
will at loast hope vre may havo one
General of sufficient vigour to make
forward movements and with suoooss.

Tho Knoxville Register gives the fol
lowing statement on tho authority of
respectable citizens latoly. escaped from
Huntsville, in regnt-d to its surprise and
the capture of so many trains and loco
motives:
So many false reports of the approach
of- tho enemy had reached the city,
that the truth was not generally credit
ed. The telegraph operator in tho town
office, named Larcomb, is a full-blooded
Yankee—antT" tho superintendent of
that portion of tho Railroad, named
Hopper, is a Northerner, and had con
trol of the telegraph office near the Do-
pot. and no doubt congregated the ex
tra locomotives nnd cars and permitted
others to come,-on purpose to bo cap

Cincinnati, and Larcomb is said lobe

Tho most prominent traitors aro Jore

Gen. J. Hickman, a hotel keeper, and
Ben. Jolly, an alderman, are said to be

With a few exceptions tho citizens

no intercourse with them, and hardly

Tito Richmond Examiner of the 24th
inst., says Gen. T. J. ’Jackson (^tone-
wall) commanding in tho valley district
has issued general orders for tho itmne
diate organization, of tho Maryland
Lino, to be commanded by Gen. Stuart.
For this purpose the First Maryland
regiment has been detached from its
present brigade organization nnd placed
under General Stuart’s command.
Tho Enquirer says that Jackson wil'

Our Officers.
The Charleston Courier lias the fol
lowing in regard to some of our Gene
rals:
Gon. Thomas J. Jackson is a native
of Virginia, nnd a cadet from West
Point cadet in 1346, one year laterthan
Barnard 13. Bee, who gavo him on the
blcody field of Manassas the epithet of
“Stonowall,” , which honorably desig
nates him, there being several generals
by tho natno of Jackson, He tvns hon
orably distinguished in Mexico, and is
now gloriously renewing his laurels in
defending his native Stajo.
George H. Steuart, commanding the
cavalry, under Gen. Jackson, is a native
of Maryland, and a West Point cadet
of -1844, entering then the Second Dra
goons was promoted Captain in 1855,
and was honorably distinguished in a
fight with the Cheyenne Indians in
1856. - -
James E. B. Stuart, who is disin-
guished in tho cayalry service in anoth
er division of our. army, is West Point
graduate 1854, and a native of Virginia,
and was "also first distinguished in ser
vice against the Indians.
Hugh" W. Mercer, who takes the place
of Gen. Ripley, transferred to Virginia,
is a native of Virginia, and a W. Point
oadet of 1824. He resigned from tho
U. S. Army in 1835, nnd has since re
sided in Georgia, in civil life, until his
recent appointment.

A Good Suggestion.
A correspondent of tho Jacksonville
Republican nukes the following ex
cellent suggestion :
AID THE SOLDIERS.
Tho timo has comb when every man
can and every man should do some
thing for his country and his country’s
cause. Tho conscription takes many
who aro heads of families, mon of small
moans nnd many children, Tho mon
ltavo mostly plnntod crops ; tho neces
sities of war will l-oquito that all within
tho conscript ago, must go "to tho llold
or into the camp of instruction, banco
their crops will have to ho left unculti
vated, unless others oomo to the relief
of the wife nnd children, and assist in
tlio cultivation. This can bo done, at
but a small sacrifice. Let tho fanners
of the several justices’ beats, moot to
gether, select some suitable man, one
or more, to ascertain the number of
persons who Itavo'gono to the war or
llio camp of instruction, leaving crops
planted without any person at home,
who is able to plow and cultivate them,
theso being ascertained, let cash -man
in proportion to the force ho works,
contribute a dnys’ plowing, once in
each ten days. With 'such a number
of hands nnd plows as will, with the
assistance of his neighbors, bo sufficient
to plow out tho orops of every such
family in tho bent, and such men as nro
unable to furnish plow force, can - con.
tribute one days work in ten, in .hoe
ing out such crops, thus plowed as
aforesaid! 11 is a duty wo owo to our
neighbors who are periling nil in the
defense of our lives, our homes and
families. This plan is objected to by
some nlledgiug that it is better those
farmers, who have the force, should
wotk their own crops, and give of their
production to tho relief of tho desti-
tqtc, whose husbands, sons, or fathers
who have gone to the war. This might
do, if; when the.crops are made, they
would give, hut past experience shows
that those who have thomost to Bpare
nro not so charitable. While some have
been liberal, many havo exnctod tho
highest prices, If, however, all would
be willing to contribute, it would be
economy to adopt the plan of Working
out tho crops. If the plowing is done,
thcreare in .many families, childron large
enough to hoe them out, nnd to gnthor
ami house(thcm when matured. Besides
tho employments thus given, which
stimulates to industry, it carries with
it a satisfaction and convenience to tho
person thus relieved, which contribu
tions of limited quantities never afford.
Satisfied that themselves have contrib
uted to.tho making of their own sup
port and the convenience of having it
at home, without tho annoyance and
expense of procuring transportation,
anti tlie humility consequent upon do-
’pendence—it makes them more cheer
ful, and tends", in souio measure, to
reconcile them to the privations of
war, and, at tlie same time, stimulates
tho soldier, nnd endears to lum more
strongly .tlie people who take an inter
est in the welfare of “tho .loved ones
at homff,” who aro his chief wealth, his
greatest happiness;
8@“Tho Riohmond correspondent of
"tho Charleston Mercury says ;
Get]. Johnston's headquarters are
now but"a mile or two from the lower
part of-the" city. His army guards tho
approaches by way of tlie Swatrip, arid
amuses itself by n -little artillery prac
tice from time to tirno., A. pontoon
bridge is being built across James river
at n' point not far from tho obstructions,
so as to facilitate the passage of an ar
my in case of necessity. The men are
in good spirits," and so are the people of
tho city. If we are besieged, we hardly
know it.
Alt is quiet down tho rjvor. Work
on tho obstructions goes steadily ahead,
Tlie iron battery and other formidable
affairs aro complete by this time. Brig,
ades of infantry support tho batteries
on each shore, and sharpshooters
abound.
Floyd is here. Ho lias acoepted tho
Major-Generalship tendered him by tho
Legislature, but doubts his ability to
raise tho 10,000 men. He is bitter on
Mr. Davis, who declares ho will not

command, until ho gets tho official re
port of Geri. Buckner.
From New Orloaus.
Tho Mississippian has this later intel
ligence from the captivo city :
Wo learn from a gentleman who left
Now Orleans last Tuesday ovening. that
tho foreign Consuls havo protested
against Butler’s proclamation in regard
to the suppression of tho Confederate
currency, and it is also'stated that tho
crawfishing Ynnkoo will revoke i» or
materially modify its purport. Tho
Consuls say that many subjects of their
Governments are innocent holders of
tho Confederate notes, nnd that they
must be paid by ono Government or
tho other.
It is furllior stated that tho English
and French wlro own cotton in New
Orleans destroyed by the robcls, are
making out their hills against tho Unit
ed States for thoir loss. England not
having recognized the Southern Con
federacy, and the United States ignor
ing its existence, it is said that tbo
Govornmonts'of France and England
rccognizo tho validity of theso claims
and will onforco their adjustment. It
will he hard on the Yankees to loso the
.cotton which thoy so niuch coveted
and then bo compelled to pay for it.
Tho Bulletin says:
Last evening, we saw Mayor Monroo,
Chief of Folieo MoClollan, Lucion Ad
ams, Recorder of the Fpui-th District,
B. S. Harrison, ox-member of council,
and Lieutenant of Police Mazarat, on

that our works are of suoh n character

heroically defended the forts below

No man could be more welcome at this

We aro informed that there is an im
mense amount of sickness among the
Federal troops on tho transports. It
appears that they, have run short of

visit to a drug store in Warrenton and
sacked it of all its contents. One boat
is said to be filled entirely with their

prohibiting officers, soldiers and oitizens
from visiting the city, oxcept on busi.

Union Feeding in Virginia.—The
army correspondent of the Now York
Tribune writes as follows:
Diligent enquiry could not establish
the existence of more than one Union
man in Williamsburg. And, inasmuch
as he has made one of our officers a gift
of a small damask tablesproad, from
which Magrnder had drank wine three
evenings bofore, it is fair to presume
that his professions of Unionism are a
swindle. Thissideof Williamsburg,upon
the line of our march, no scrutiny with
candies by day-time could possibly dis
cover one Union man or woman." Tlie

that General will attack Corinth, will
consist of 100,000 infantry, between
12,000 and-15,000 cavalry, and over 390
pieces of artillery. Andrew-Jackson
Smith commands this great force of
cavalry, nnd tho correspondent says
that he could, if it were not improper,
slate exactly the important movement
which he will make when the attack in

nous movement will have a iro'st "tel
ling effect on the fortunes of the day,
and perhaps decide tho result. It will
be made with a force of ten thousand
mounted men, moving in single col
umn. What a splendid opportunity
for artillery practice this will afford

says that the seige guns which Halleck
is bringing up with suoh vast labor, con
