••IT IS NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE 18 NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY."—Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
Western News.
We have before us the Memphis “Ava-
ianebe” of the 7th inst., from which we take
the following:
Gov. Harris—A few days since, Gov. Har
ris went on business to Corinth, and would
have returned ere this but for the fact that
a battle was imminent, and ho was determined
to be on the ground to uuimate with his pres
ence the soldiers of Tennessee. This is as it
should be, and it is just what we, from our
knowledge of the man, expected of him.—
The crisis demands of every citizen, accord
ing to the responsibility of his station, the
utmost heroism. Tennessee soil is now de
secrated by the trail of the Northern vandal,
and her sons are on the field to hurl back the
invader; but her Governor is likewise there
to cheer them with his presence, snatching a
moment from ihe onerous civil duties devolved
on him by the times to share their dangers.
This is a spirit worthy of ihe anoient and
best days of our commonwealth. Let those
who a short while since were so ready to
censure Gov. Harris, go and do likewise.—
Wo wonder where the Military Governor,
Andy Johnson, was, when the trenchant
steel shimmered ’neath Ihe April sun, and
the death shot hurled in battle on the hanks
of the broad Tennessee ! Was be as near
the front of danger then as the Governor of
our choice ?
Tennessee River.—A friend just from
TuBcumbia informs us that the Tennessee
river is falling rapidly, with not more than
thirty inches water on Colbert’s shoals.
The rumor reaches us that the transports
and gunboats of the enemy, uow near o»-
vannab, are in our power and cannot escape.
We have a heavy battery below them, and
the rapidly receding water will render them
an easy prey. We hope it may so turn out.
From Missouri.—We have heard, amid
the exciting news nearer home, that a divis
ion of Price’s army, under Gen. McBride,
had penetrated as far as Rolla (eighty miles
from St. Louis,) which place they burned,
and completely routed the Federals stationed
there. McBride’s force was about 5,000
strong,
We hear, too, that another detachment,
numbering 3,000, was advancing on Spring-
field, with a view to capture the enemy’s
supplies collected there, which will doubtless
be successful. Price is said to be advancing
from Clarksville, and will again enter Mis
souri with increasing force.
Nashville. — Our information from this
point, now the centre of Southern sympathy
and interest, is up to a late date. The peo
ple of our capital still maintain proudly
their integrity and hostile bayonets. They
are neither seduced by the sophistries of
Andrew Johnson, the Military Governor, nor
intimidated by the armed hordes of Lincoln.
They bear themselves quietly, conscious that
for the present they are powerless, but stern
ly refuse all intercourse with the Federal au
thorities, whether of a business or social na»
ture.
ileatli of Major John H. Howard.
The Columbus Times of the 8th inst., an
nounces the death of Maj. John H. Howard,
at his plantation on Flint River, on Sunday
morning last, in his 71st year. He had a
violent attack of fever last fall, lasting seve
ral months, which completely prostrated his
physical energies.
Maj. Howard was well known all over the
Stale of Georgia. The Times says:
Msj. Howard was one of the most remark
able men of his day. In some of the finest
attributes of his character we doubt if his
equal ever lived. Surely no man ever pos
sessed a more indomitable will, or more un
flagging energy. Combined with a strong
and vigorous intellect and a public spirited
benevolence never surpassed, these qualities
made him pre eminently a benefactor. * *
* * * A little over one year ago death
entered his household aud left his heart and
hope a wreck. He lived as long as life was
worth living and has died full of years and
full of honors. Yesterday his mortal remains
were consigned to the tomb, but the memory
of John 11. Howard will know no decay.—
His generous deeds and noble and heroic vir
tues will enwreath his name with fadeless
immortality, aud those who have lived within
the circle of his acquaintance will hold up
his glorious example to generations yet un
born, for their instruction and guidance.
Salt.—The Atlanta Confederacy suggests
that Georgia and South Carolina undertake
the m&cul&cture of salt at some poi.nt on the
coastf on a scale sufficient to produce 1000
bushels a day, and that a force be stationed
near the place sufficient to protect it from the
enemy. The suggestion seems to us a good
and important one.—Constitutionalist, April

General Albert Sydney Johnston—An In.
teresting Letter to the President.
During the pendency of the resolutions con
cerning the Battle of Shiloh and the death of
Gen. Johnston, in the House of Representa
tives at Richmond, Mr. Barksdale, of Missis
sippi, arose and said:
I hold in my hands an unofficial letter -
probably the last written by the lamented de
ceased—to the Chief Executive of the Confed
eracy, to whom he had long been united by
the ties oi friendship, and with whom he had
enlisted at an early day under the flag of a
government which together they abandoned
When it became the symbol of a monstrous
despotism. This letter has Deen given me to
be used as I may think proper for the vindi
cation ot recent acts Of General Johnate*, hot
fully understood by the public. I will, there
fore, by the indulgence of the House, read
this letter, that they may see the facts in the
light by which his course was shaped previ
ous and subsequent to the fail of Donelscn.—
These facts triumphantly vindicate his fame
as a true patriot and an able and skilful mil
itary leader. This letter, writtnu u idcr most
trying circumstances, shows to* trace of
passion was visible in the awful serenity of
the pure, brave, undaunted spirit in which it
originated. He has left a noble example of
magnanimity in the midst of utjust com
plaint, and of courage and of fortitude amid
disaster. His fame rises brighter from the
severe ordeal through which he has passed,
and his name will live green and fresh forev
er in the hearts of a grateful people.
Mr.Speaker, I will close by rtoa.iing the let
ter to which I have referred.
LETTER OF GENERAL A S. JOHNSTON To PRESIDENT
DAVIS.
Decatur, Ala., March 13, 1862
My Dear General:
I received the dispatches from Richmond,
with your private letter, by Captain Wicklilfe
three days since; but the pressure of affairs,
and the necessity of getting my command
across the Tennessee, prevented me from
sending you an earlier reply.
I anticipated all that you have told me as
to the ceusurwwbich the fall of Fort Donel-
Bon drew upon me, and the attacks to which
you might be subjected, but it was impossible
for me to gather the facts for a detailed report,
or to spare time which was required to extri
cate the remainder of my troops, and save tne
large accumulation of stores and provisions
after that disheartening disaster.
I transmitted the reports of Generals Floyd
and Pillow without examining or analysing
the facts, and scarcely with time to read
them.
When about to assume command of this De
partment, the government charged me with
the duty of deciding the question of occupy
ing Bowling Green. Kentucky, which involved
not only military but political consideration.
At the time of my arrival at Nashville, the
action of the Legislature of Kentucky had
put an end to the latter by sanctioning the
formation of companies menacing Tennesseee,
by assuming the cause of the government at
Washington, and by abandoning the neutral
ity it professed, and in consequence of their
action the occupation of Bowling Green be
came necessary as an act of self-defence, at
least in the first step.
About the middle of September Gou. Buck
ner advanced with a small force of about 4,-
000 men, which was increased by the 15th Oc
tober to 12,000, and though accessions of force
were received, it continued at about the same
strength until the end of November, measles
and other diseases keeping down the effective
force. The enemy’s force then was reported
to the War Department at 50,000, and an ad
vance was impossible.
*****
Believing it to be of the greatest moment
to protraot the campaign as the dearth of
cotton might bring strength from abroad and
discourage the North, and to gain time to
strengthen mysslf by new troops from Ten
nessee and other States, I magnified my for
ces to the enemy, but made known my true
strength to the department and the Gover
nors of the States. The aid given was small.
At length, when Gen. Beauregard oame out
in February, he expressed his surprise at the
smallness of my force, and was impressed
with the danger of my position. I admitted
what was so manifest, and laid before him
my views for the future, in which he entire
ly concurred, and sent me a memorandum of
our conference, a copy of which I send to
yon. I determine t0 fight for Syashville at
Donelson, and gave the best part of my army
to do it, retaining only fourteen thousand
men to cover my front, and giving sixteen
thousand to defend Donelson.
The foroe at Donelson is Btated in General
Pillow’s report at much less, and I do not
doubt the correctness of his statement, for
the force at Bowling Green, which 1 sup
posed to be fourteen thousand effective men,
(the medical report showing only a little
Dter jive hundred sick ia the hospital,) was
diminished more than five thousand by those
who were unable to stand the fatigue of a
march, and made my force on reaching Nash
ville less than ten thousand men. I enclose
the Medical Director’s report.
Had I wholly uncovered my front to de
fend Donelson, Buell would have known it,
and marched directly on Nashville. There
were only ten small steamers in the Cumber
land in imperfect condition—only three of
which were available at Nashville, while the
transportation of the enemy was great.
The evacuation of Bowling Green was im
peratively necessary, and was ordered before,
and executed while the battle was being
fought at Donelson. I had made every dis
position for the defence of the fort my means
allowed ; and tlie troops were among the
best of my force. The Generals—Floyd,
• Pillow and Buckner—were high in the opin
ion of officers and men for skill and courage,
and among the best officers of my command.
They were popular with the volunteers, and
all had seen much service. No reinforce
ments were asked. 1 awaited the event ops
posite Nashville. The result of the conflict
each day was favorable. At midnight on the
15th 1 received news of a glorious victory—
at dawn of a defeat.
My column during the Jay and uight was
thrown over the river—(a battery had been
established below the city to secure the pas
sage.) Nashville was incapable of defence
from its position, and from the forces advanc
ing from Bowling Green and up the Cumber
land. A rear guard was left under General
Floyd to secure the stores and provisions,
but did not completely effect the object.—
The people were terrified, aud some of the
troops were disheartened. The discourage
ment was spreading, and I ordered the com
mand to.Murfreesboro, where I managed, by
by combing Crittenden’s Division and the fu
gitives from Donelson, to colleot an army
able to offer battle. The weather was in
clement, the floods excessive, and the bridges
were washed away, but most of the stores
and provisions were saved and conveyed to
new dew deposits. This having been accom
plished, though with serious loss, in conform
ity with my original design, 1 marched south
ward aud crossed the Tennessee at this point,
so as to co-operate or unite with Gen. Beau
regard, for the defence of the Valley of the
Mississippi. The passage is almost com
pleted, and the head of my column is already
with Gen. Bragg at Corinth. Tne movement
was deemed too hazardous by the most ex
perienced members of my staff, but the ob
ject warranted the risk. The difficulty of
effecting a junction is not wholly overcome,
but it approaches completion. Day after
to morrow, unless the enemy intercepts me,
my forces will be with Bragg, and my army
nearly thousand strong. This must be
destroyed b fore the tne ny can attain ^ i vlject.
I have given this sketch, so that you may
appreciate the embarrassment which sur
rounded me in my attempis to avert or rem
edy the disasters at Fort Donelson, before
alluding to the Generals.
When the force was detached I was in
hopes that such disposition would have been
made as would have enabled the forces to
defend the fort, or withdraw without sacrific
ing the army. Oa the 14th I ordered Gene
ral Floyd, by telegraph, “ if he lost the fort
to get his droops to Nashville ” It is possi
ble this might have been done, but justice
requires to look at events as they appeared
at the time, aud not alone by the light of
subsequent information. All the facts in re
lation to the surrender will be transmitted
to the Secrelary of War, as soon as they can
be collected, in obedience to his order. It
appears, from the information received, that
Gen. Buckner, beiug the junior officer, took
the lead in advising the surrender, and that
Gen. Floyd acquiesced, and they all concur
red in the belief that their force could not
maintain its position—all concurred that it
would require a great sacrifice of life to ex
tricate the command.
Subsequent events show that the investment
was not so complete as their information from
thrir scouts led them to believe. The confer
ence resulted in the surrender. The command
was irregularly transferred, and devolved on
the junior general, but not apparently to
avoid any just responsibility, or from any
want of personal or moral intrepidity. The
blow was most disastrous, and almost without
a remedy. I therefore, in my first report, re
mained silent. This silence you we e kind
enough to attribute to my generosity. I will
not lay claim to the motive to excuse my
course. I observed silence, as it seemed to be
ihe best way to serve the cause aud the coun
try. The facts were not fully known—discon
tent prevailed, and criticism or condemnation
were more likely to augment than to cure the
evil. I refrained, well knowing that heavy
heavy censures would fall upon me; but con
vinced that it was better to endure them for
the preseat, and defer to a more proper time
an investigation of the conduct of the Gene
rals; for, in the meantime, their services were
required and their influences useful. For
these reasons Generals Floyd and Pillow were
assigned to duty; for I still felt confidence in
their gallantry, their energy, and their devo
tion to the Confederacy.
I havejthus recurred to the motives by which
I have been governed, from a deep personal
sense of tbs friendship and confidence you
have always shown me, and from the convic
tion that they have not been withdrawn from
me in adversity.
All the reports requisite tor a full official
investigation have been ordered. Generals
Floyd and Pillow have been suspended from
command.
[Here follow seme allusions not necessary
to an understanding of tho main objects of
the letter, and a statement of the disposition
of the forces in command, which it is not
deemed necessary to publish ] The letter
closes as follows:
I have troubled you with these details as I
cannot properly communicate them by tele
graph.
The test ot merit in my profession, with the
people, is success. It is a hard rule, but I
think it right. If I join this corps to the forces
of General Beauregard, (I confess a hazardous
experiment,) then those who are now declaim
ing against me will be without an argument.
Your friend, A. S. JO HNSTON.
President Davis aiicno the Soldiers.
The Richmond Whig says that on Sunday the
President visited the wounded soldiers ot one
of the hospitals, and expressed warm ssmpa-
thy for the unfortunate sufferers. Address
ing the other soldiers, he said he intended to
share their fate on the next battle field
come weal or woe, he would be with them
and whatever might betide, whether victory
or defeat ensued, of ooe thing he assured
them—“the cause is safe: we will conquer
in the end.” The address was very brief,
but the effect was magical; putting the sol
diers, who were somewhat depressed by the
accident, in glorious spirits.
Treason in the High Plachs.—The Rich
mond Enquirer, (Administration organ,) in
alluding to tfie reepnt reprieve of the two
condemned spies, Lewis and Scully, says:
“We feel now free to state that, though
the condemned pen hive been respited for a
few days by ihe President, tfiey will certain
ly be hung. We learn that they have made
several important revelations concerning
some very high functionaries in our govern
ment. This, however, we merely mention as
a rumor.
