To day, we publish a letter from “P. W.
A our oid Correspondent, in which he at
tempts a defenso of Gen. Johnston. We dif
fer wiib his reasoning and the conclusions he
arrives at on these points.
No one will deny that the exalted confi
dence which our people had in the unrivaled
abilities of Gen. Johnsten, as an able and sa
gacious military Commander and strategist,
is considerably shaken. He may be all that
is or ever was claimed for him; if he is, we
think some showing ought to be made that
would convince the people of this fact. It is
iudispansably necessary, in our judgment.—
When we commenced to read the letter of ‘P.
W 7 . A ,’ we expected to find the evidence that
would satisfy us, for he is usually well-in
formed, and seldom in error, even in the
slightest particular.
He says it was “utterly impossible for him
to reinforce Fort Donelson, and at the same
time bold Bowling Green; and that if he had
gone with his army to the relief of the Fort,
Buell would have marched straight to Nash
ville, or to a point between Donelson and
Nashville, and thus have cut him off.”
On this point, we have a different reason
ing. If Johnston had taken his whole army
to Donelson, Buell would not have dared to
approach Nashville, unless our whole army
thus concentrated at Donelson had been de
feated—an event which it is not reasonable
tj suppose would have taken place. We
thiuk we are safe in saying, that if General
Johnston had taken all his forces to Donel
s o, Buell would not have moved a foot from
Bowling Green, until the Donelson fight had
terminated; in truth he did not, and it was
over a week before he reached Nashville, af
ter the surrender of Donelson. If we had
been victorious at Donelson, Buell would
have fied hastily the other way, without wait
ing for an attack.
But suppose he had moved on Nashville
wiibutii waiting to know the result at Donel-
sou: with the Yankees defeated at that point,
Buell’s army would have been completely
fi luked by our victorious army at Donelson.
He would have been where an unconditional
surrender of his whole army, or a fight re
sulting in a crushing and overwhelming de
feat would have been as certain and unavoid
able as that death one day will overtake eve
ry human being.
These are cur views; we may be in error.
If we are correct, Gen. Johnston has display
ed very poor GeneraJship. If we are wrong,
we would thank somebody to set us rignt.
Besides: unless it was the policy of the
Government for some ulterior purpose which
does not now appear, to abandon Tennessee,
Wi think Nashville could, and would have
been successfully defended even after the fall
of Donelson and the retreat from Bowling,
Green by a resolute, able General, such as
we have been taught to believe Gen. Johnston
is.
And our further judgment is, that Forts
Henry and Donelson should have been in a
condition of defense long ago, or no defense
should have been attempted at those points
Long ago, Geo. Johnston should ^have moved
our forces to Livingston county, Ky., where
the Tennessee and Cumberland are within
three miles of each other, and where there
. are the most favorable facilities for making a
defense of both streams.|
Old Fogies.
The world is full of a class of beings call
ed --Old Fogie-”—creatures who follow the
old beateu tracks with their cumbrous rou
tine, and will not learn wisdom by experi
ence, the teachings of others, changes of
circumstances, or revolutions, or whatnot.
The most remarkable illustration of this
slow coach character, is found in the farm
ers, who hesitate about planting no Cotton
and all corn. They have been raising Cot
ton to make money, from their youth. Their
fathers did so befere them. They have a
feeling—a sort of conviction or fear, from
hibit—pure habit—not from reason or good
sense—that there is no way for a farmer to
make money except to raise cotton; and this,
in the face of the fact that they can’t sell the
con od|< hey now have on band, and the further
fact, that corn is worth from $1 to $1 50 per
bushel; pork 20 ots , and bacon 40c per lb.,
and every other farm product high in pro
portion. This thing will continue as long as
the war lasts, and for a year afterwards. It
does seem to us that the most common intel
lect ought to see that it is profitable to raise
produce for home consumption, and unprofit
able to raise cotton.
Montgomery is under Martial Law at
least as far as the sale of Liquors is concern
ed—and a very healthy jurisdiction it is that
Gen. Bragg has assumed. It would be well
if Gov. Brown would seize all the ardent spir
its in Georgia, and wind up the distilleries
instanter throughout the State. As the law
now is, it is very easily evaded; for I have
heard persons say, they bad so many bushels
of Com, and as they are not allowed to sell
to the distiller, they must lease the “still”
and make their own whiskey. Intemperance
is a greater evil than war, if possible, for
while the latter is a passion, a sudden out
burst, may be soon up and soon over, the
glass has a life-time vengeance—is a two-
edged sword, and its chief infliction is upon
the head of him who wields it, and that too
to all eternity.
Montgomery has evidently gone to the
wars, and there is very little or nothing do
ing except in that direction. The streets
•eem deserted and we can but contreBt this
time with that when Congress was in session
here.
A large number of Federal prisoners, some
500, passed through to-day en route from
Tuscaloosa to Norfolk, I suppose. I saw a
score of the officers at the Exchange Hotel
where they breakfastei and were apparently
as much at home as any guests of the house.
Some of them had the freedom of the city,
and I was told called for the ^daily papers at
the printing offices. Southerners have al
ways been noted for their hospitality; and
this is certainly magnanimity in the highest
degree. k Under any other circumstances,
they would have been a good looking set of
men, but (he fact that they had been ene
mies in arms against us, and might be again,
spoiled the delusion. They were from Ma-
nasstfs and Leesburg, and though they might
have “run away,” yet the chance is, that
some of them “will live to fight another day.”
Most of them were twelve-months men, how
ever, and their time will soon be out; besides
they did not enlist for service South of the
Pdtomac; and after the kind treatment as
prisoners of war which they have received at
our hands, it is to be hoped that on their re
turn to their own houses, ihey will “go about
doing good.”*, I am glad to see this exchange
of prisoners adopted. It breaks the spell of
the war in one sense, and it seems more like
a civilized warfare.
Montgomery is evidently a “fast city”
when in “full tide,” and is not probably ex
celled by Mobile or even New Orleans, in her
hilarities. In a commercial point she alrea
dy has great facilities, but when the Rail
roads south to Decatur, and west to Selma,
both of which are progressing, are completed,
they will be all that could be desired.
The “Southern Republic” is a splendid
boat and the largest upon the Alabama. She
is some 235 feet in length, double story, hav
ing fifty “state rooms” below and fifty above.
She is a boat of the times, as her name would
imply, and was built in Mobile by Meagher
& Brothers, who are the chief owners. Capt.
Meagher is as fine a specimen of the genus
Captain as we often fall in with, and does not
fail to make his company at home with him.
Thursday evening is the Southern Republic’s
time for leaving Montgomery.
Gen. Bragg is moving a large part, if not
the whole of his original forces, from Pensa
cola to the Mississippi Talley,, and their
places are filling up with fresh recruits. I
would not tell of this only everybody knows
it, except the Yankees, and if they attempt
to occupy the interim, they will find there is
no room for them. An artillery company
went down the River yesterday, and the Al
abama Mounted Rifles, the finest cavalry I
have seen, are on board the Republic to-day.
They were first ordered to Chattanooga via
Montgomery and Atlanta, but now take the
River to Mobile and thence by the Mobile &
Orleans Railroad to Corinth. They have
been at Pensaoola 11 months, and are very
glad to go into active service. They were
12-months men, but say they are in for the
war if there is any fighting to be done. This
they will hardly miss, for there seems to be a
concentration in the Mississippi basin from
all directions; and it looks as though the
great “Armageddon” of modern prophets
was about to be fought, and especially since
they locate it in that region. God grant that
it may be the decisive battle and that victory
may crown our arms.
This Company has one hundred of the fin
est horses that I have seen in any service,
and as they stand the hissing of the steam
and the clangor of the machinery so well, it
is not likely they will shrink from the con
flict of arms and the din of battle when it
comes. They kept up the equestrian qiolfca
all night upon the deck below, while their ri
ders, with spars on their heels, danced till
midnight in the saloon above. Verily these
are wonderful times in which we have fallen.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
Of the Savannah Republican.
A defense of Gen. Sidney Johnston—The duty of the
President—The new base line of operations.
Memphis, March 8, 1862.
There is a very general desire felt here and
in the southwest, that President Davis should
repair to Tennessee and take the field in per
son. The loss of Nashville, and the threat
ening front now presented by the enemy,
coupled with the lack of confidence in Gen.
Johnston, unreasonable though it be, have
had an injurious effect npon the people of
Tennessee. With the exception of South
Carolina, the people of no State in the Con
federacy feel as proud of their capital as the
Tennesseeans. Nashville is a beautiful and
thrifty city, and withal is crowned with a
splendid Capitol, the finest and most superb
edifice in the Confederate States. It is with
bitter grief the people have seen their oher-
ished city, and a large portion of their noble
State, pass under the yoke of the hated op
pressor. If our friends in other States would
bring the argument home to themselves, then
they might understand and appreciate the
sense of humiliation with which the hearts of
the people are oppressed.
You will be glad to hear that the tide which
set so strongly against Gen. Johnston upon
the evacuation of Nashville, is already be
ginning to ebb. The truth is, if we except
the loss of stores, he did the best he possibly
could under the untoward circumstances
with which he wae surrounded. With the
forces at his command, it was utterly impos
sible for him to reinforce Fort Donelson, and
at the same time hold Bowling Green. One
place or the other must have fallen ; and the
fall of one rendered the abandonment or cap
ture of the other a matter of certainty. Had
Johnston remained at Bowling Green after
the fall of Donelson, his army, unless greatly
reinforced, (which was out of the question,)
would have been cut to pieces or taken pris
oners. If he had gone to the relief of the
Fort, Buell would have marched straight to
Nashville, or have gone to a point between
Donelson and Nashville, and thus have cut
him off.
For the same reason—the want of adequate
forces—he was unable to make a stand at
Nashville with any hope of holding the place.
He did right to fall back to Murfreesboro’
until his forces could be got together, and
thence to retire to a line further south. He
would have been forced out of Murfreesboro’
before this had he remained there; but by
withdrawing further into the interior, he
gains time to recruit hia army, and renders
it necessary for his adversary ts quit the wa-
ter and advance deep into a hostile country.
Had his forces been greater, it would have
been unadvisable to stop at Nashville; for
the enemy, having undisputed control of the
Tennessee river, could easily have precipita
ted his legions upon Corinth or Florence, and
thus have turned his flank a second time, or
have marched upon Memphis and out off our
forces upon the Mississippi Toe truth
the Tennessee river was the heel of Achilles
to our position in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Without a largely superior force, it was sim
ply impossible for us to have maintained our
selves. Gen. Johnston could only make the
best use in his power of the troops given to
him. It is not his fault that his force was
not greater. He deceived the enemy, and
even his own countrymen, by the skillful
disposition he made of his men, and produc
ed the impression on both sides of the Ohio
that he had a formidable army at his back.
To this deception the people of Tennessee
were indebted for the long immunity they en
joyed from the foul presence of the invader.
Meanwhile Gen. Johnston and Gen. Polk call
ed loudly for additional reinfo/cements. Why
were they not sent? Let the people at home
and the government at Richmond answer.
It is reported that Generals Johnston and
Beauregard had an interview upon the arri
val of the latter in this Stat6, and that it
was agreed between them, in the event of the
fall of Fort Donelson, to evacuate Bowling
Green and Columbus. This ought to satisfy
the clamor against Gen. Johnston.
But I still think it would be well for the
President to come to Tennessee. The people
in the Yalley of the Mississippi have great
confidence in his capacity as« military lead
er, and would Sock to his standard by thou
sands. They have already responded with
cheering enthusiasm to the call of Beaure
gard. In a little time there will be a real ar
my in Tennessee, so far as numbers are con
cerned ; and they come with the resolution
to drive the invajder into the Ohio, or to mark
every mile along the banks of the father of
waters with their bleechiDg bones.
P. W. A
gt^-We expect blows from the enemy to
fall thick and heavy. They know they must
be successful in this campaign, or forever
fail. We have no doubt a rapid push will
be made by the enemy to reach Goldsboro’,
or some ether point on the line of Rail*-
road from Richmond south; and also to
reach the Memphis & Charleston Road, and
close in on Memphis, in the west, while ef
forts are made to reach the Road through
East Tennessee, either at or beyond Knox
ville. These are the aims of the enemy, and
the most Herculean efforts are now being pat
forth to accomplish them.

Commodore Ingraham has received full power
from the Navy Department at Richmond, to
begin immediately to build as many war

the exigencies of the and the resources at our
command will warrant. The goverament,
with its full coffers and boundless credit, hav
ing taken up this matter in easnest, might h
not be well that the ladies should divert the
^unds which they have so nobly contributed
for a gunboat, to some other object equally as
prtriotic/and in which the need of their help
is more pressingly felt? We would remind
them that, in the matter of gunboats, the gov
ernment can do far more than the aggregate
of their contributions could ever accomplish:
while, on the other hand, ia providing com

government could not successfully imitate.
Our Special Georgia Army Cor
respondence.
Camp Jackson,
Savannah, March 14, 1862.
Hear Confederacy:
Your readers should not become dispirited
when they hear that the Yankees have taken
possession of Amelia Island, 8t. Simon’s, Skid-
away, Ac. When mariners are on a frail ves
sel in a storm, they do not hesitate to throw
overboard their most precious freight, to save
their craft. So with us; we would greatly
grefer to hold these points, and keep the foot
of the invader oflT our soil; but it is altogether
better that we surrender untenable points,
land fall back to those we can certainly hold.
The enemy have kept up a heavy firing for
the last four'days. While I write the whole
country is filled the sullen booming of distant
cannon. They have erected two batteries of
heavy siege guns on the banks of the Savan
nah River; one at Oakly Island—the other at
Venus’Point, just across the river, while be
tween them in the stream are four ships rid
ing at anchor. By this, supplies are cut off
from Fort Pulaski, and our vessels.in passing
down St Augustine’s Creek to Causten’s Bluff
or Thunderbolt, are compelled to go within
two and a half miles of their works.
I was down at the Causten Bluff battery on
the 12th instant, and learned from a Lieuton-
ant the cause of the disturbance on the night
previous. Thirty six of our scouts had assem
bled at the telegraph column on the west side
of St. Augustine creek, to witness the move
ments of a corps of Yankees, who in a small
boat were endeavoring to cut ofi’ and capture
our scouts. The boat passed behind a pointof
land ; presently a signal gun fired from their
batteries, informing them where to move, and
they rushed from their concealment in the
marsh and opened fire upon our pickets.—
After being answered by a brisk volley from
us, they left the engagement at the rate of
2.40. One of the enemy was supposed to be
killed, haying been seen to fall during the
fight. Our scouts got a blanket cloak with
the name “F. Baker” embroidered upon it.
The soldiers are constantly at work here to
make this city impregnable. The enemy will
not be apt to take these posts by throwing a
few shell and killing eight cr ten of u?. We
are armed with determination, as well as for
tified with breastworks. Respectfully,
J. H. II.
Latest from Newbern.
We are indebted to Col. Bullock, of the
Southern Express, for the following dispatch,
being (he latest from Newbern:
Charlotte, March 16.—Tee Charlotte Bul
letin has the following:
All we have been able to gather up to this
hour (Sunday, 12 M., 12th,) we receive thro’
our highly esteemed friend, Wm. P. Hill,
conductor of (he last train which left New-*
bern, four hours after their communication
had heen suspended.
Mr. Hill, whose veracity is unquestionable,
says: I left Newbern on Friday afternoon at
5 30. The battle commenced at 7.30, on Fri
day. The first shot was fired by the Feder
alists at the Atlantic Railroad shops. Soon
after the firing was indiscriminate but de
structive. Our troops disputed their advance
bravely. The Federals numbered 12,000 on
land, and 61 transports and gunboats, while
our force was about 6,000. The fight lasted
two and a half hours, when it became neces
sary for our troops to evacuate Newbern in
consequence of being borne down upon by
overwhelming numbers. The citizens, at
least several of them, fired their own dwell
ings and business houses. The Cotton and
turpentine stored in Newbern was first fired
and totally destroyed. Our army stores and
provisions were all removed. Two batteries
and two car loads, one of ammunition, and
the other of arms, fell into the hands of the
enemy.
At great peril, Mr. Hill and Engineer C
Davis, approached Newbern, and hitched on
their engine to cars containing arms, which
they saved.
Newbern was in flames when Mr. Hill left,
and it is believed that a large portion of the
city has been destroyed.
Most of the women and children escaped.
They were gathered up on the line of the
Railroad together with several wounded sol
diers, who were left at Goldsboro.’
Our soldiers -did all they could to defend
Newbern, but were overwhelmed by superior
numbers.
The bridge over the Trent Biver was fired
by the enemy, but fortunately the rolling
stock on the road was removed in time to be
saved.
The Federals, it is supposed, have brought
with them an engine and cars to occupy the
track. [Columbia Guardian, March 17.
The Cabinet.
The new Cabinet is a good one. It gives
evidence of the turning over of a new leaf,
and the inauguration of a new policy by the
President. We are glad Mr. Benjamin is
Secretary of State ; that office he can well
fill. He t3 a lawyer and a diplomat of the
first order in this or any country.
Mr. Memminger has shown himself to be
well qualified for the important post he occu
pies. We suppose a more able Secretary of
the Treasury could not be found.
Mr. Randolph we are not personally ac
quainted with. From his reputation and
well known ability and energy, we feel sure
that no such affairs as Newbern, Roanoke,
Hatteras, &c„ will take place under his ad
ministration.
There is considerable complaint of Mr.
Mallory on account of his administration of
the Naval Bureau. We are wholly unpre
pared to form an intelligent opinion on the
merits of his case.
The most important Bureaus—the Treasu
ry and War—we are satisfied are well filled.
We therefore feel greatly encouraged.
Expensive Shot.
The Ericsson iron-plated floating battery,
at Greeu Point, has been armed with two 11-
nch columbiads, which have been furnished
with 400 wrought iron shot, each ball costing
$47, and weighing 184 pounds. These balls
were made by forging square blocks of iron
at the Novelty Works, then turning them at
the lathe. The cost of the 400 amounts to
$18,800, and their total weight is 73,000
pounds. Cast iron shot are liable to break
in pieces when fired against thick iron plates.
These wrought iron shot are for smashing
through the sides of such secession batteries
as the Merrimac at Norfolk, and Hellih’a
Turtle at New Orleans —Scientific American.
It is rumored that President Davis is
about to take the field in the Southwest.—
This is deemea necessary to restore the mor
al tone lost there by the want of confidence
in the capacity of General A. S. Johnston,
who is believed to have been completely out
generaled by Buel. Whether this belief is
correct or not, its effect i9 the same as it it
were certainly so. We think that this rumor
in regard to the President is not wholly with
out foundation.— Wilmington Journal, March

To the Citizens of Georgia and of
the other States or the Southern
Confederacy.
T HE HOSPITAL AID SOCIETY OF ST.
PHILIP’S CHURCH, Atlanta, Ga , wss
organized soon after the commencement of
active hostilities, and has been industriously
but quietly laboring in its patriotic work ever
since. Atlanta having been constituted by
the authorities a principal station for Hospi
tal work, we feel constrained to call upon our
Southern brethren to come to our help. There
are some 3,000 sick soldiers here now, hailing
from every part of the Confederacy, and the
number is likely to be largely increased.
We appeal to our fellow-patriojk|o send us
anything they can spare that wcrffra be useful
for the sick aud suffering. A careful and just
distribution will be made of all tflat we re
ceive.
They who prefer to make use of our Society
as the Almoner of their contributions, will
please address their packages to either of the
nndersigned.
