-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.
The “ Intelligencer ” and Speculator*.
Io our issue of the 9th inst., we gave a
few specimens of the workings of martial
law aud other irregular or arbitrary pro
ceedings, intended to regulate the prices of
articles of necessity. One of our illustra
tions was the seizure of salt by Qov, Brown
to prevent its increase in price, and the un
precedentedly high price it is now held at in
Qeorgia, iu consequence of this seizure,
while it ib comparatively cheap all around
us ; aud the fact, which no reflecting man
can fall -ta- observe, that business men will
neither send nor bring salt here because they
have no assurance that they will be safe in
doing so. The Governor has a propensity
for seizures and arbitrary high handed pro
ceedings, and the newspapers in his interest
are energetically urging martial law to regu
late the prices of people’s property and
squinting at even more objectionable meas
ures— mob law.
In this oannection we used the following
sentence :
“ His special, principal, State Organ—the
Intelligencer of this city—is daily advocating
martial law, and the most radical and unwar
rantable interference with private rights.”
The Intelligencer of yesterday, gives this
“a positive aid flit dental,” and says it
has ‘‘done no such thiDg.”
This is a question of fact—one of veracity
—which admits of no discussion, We will
only give chapter and verse by laying a few
quotations from that journal before our read
ers—leaving them to judge for themselves.
In its issue of the 30th March, the Intelli
gencer asks, why it is that flour! corn and ba-
fluts*: “ because of those high-land sharks,
who, like travelling bipeds, have gone
throughout the land, devouring every green
thing of promise before them, and covering
with a loathsome, putrid stench, everything
behind them.”
It then makes the threat as follows :
"Nov, we give it as our opinion that these
things must not and cannot exist much longer.
The poor must be fed, and the truth is, they
are going to eat whether speculators make money
or not. A word to the wise is sufficient!” (Itsl-
ljs ours.) a
Auy unwarrantable iuterfereuce with pri
vate properly recommended here ?
Tae same issue contains two communica-.
lions, which have conspicuous insertions—
published without a word of dissent, and
therefore staud endorsed. The first one says,
“the community is greatly indebted to your
(the Intelligencer's) efforts to rid the Confede
racy of the worst enemies that are now seeking
u« dtslruition—the speculators in the neces
sities of life. * * * Do not rest until
you have aroused the proper authorities to
the performance of their duty, or in case of
failure iu this, to induce the people to take the
m Uter in their own hands. * * * Atlanta
is cursed with many of these bad men. * *
TUey have, within the last few weeks, run
up the prices of flour, lard, molasses, &c.”
(Italics ours.)
They should be promptly proceeded
against, and if the law fails, * * * then let
the citizens of Atlanta at once follow the ex
ample of New Orleans and Mobile, and es
tablish a Vigilance Committee. * * * THE
DISGRACEFUL BUSINESS MUST BE
STOPPED, AND THAT IMMEDIATELY.”
(Big capiials the writers—not ours )
Aoy unlawful interference with private
rights in this ?
The other correspondent alluded to, says
he'd not be guilty of the extreme folly of
publishiag strictures on the wickedness of
speculators, as they are “impenetrable." —
If he were an editor, he’d only say in his pa
per, that these speculators and their opera-
tioas would be “ overthrown,” and that
‘•very sooti,” by the law of necessity—that
hunger knows no law, and will break through
all restraints, and seize upon that which can
sustaia life. We dont quote his words in
the exact order iu wnich he uttered them,
but wo state his position and ideas fairly,
which be says is a text which those who choose
to do so, can elaborate.
Any radical interference with private rights
here I
On the -1 inst., it contains an editorial
advocating martial law to regulate prices.—
Tais is a ** most radical and unwarrantable
interference with private rights, in our judg
ment.” Msnial law may be useful and ne-
cessary under some circumstances, but never
useful or necessary to regulate prices in a
land where supplies, if not abundant, are
moderate; where they can be purchased for
money, and where the wages of a common
laborer amounts to $i per day.
In the Intelligencer of the 4th inst, there
appears an editorial which says, “we are
satisfied that nothing but the heavy hand of
military law will stop the speculators, and
extortioners upon provisions.” We know of
no more radical and unwarrantable interfer
ence with private rights and property, than
martial law to regulate its price. If the ar
my needs provisions for its own use—if any
thing is indispensable for publio use and
cannot be purchased at reasonable rates,
then the Constitution authorizes its seizure,
upon paying “just compensation.” These
are the only circumstances or conditions up
on which military authority has any right to
touch private property. If a man holds his
goods at extortionate prices, let no one buy
them. His goods are his own, and he has a
right to hold them at whatever price he may
think proper; to burn or cast them id the
sea, or whatever else he may choose.
In this same editorial the Intelligencer com
pliments one of its correspondents heretofore
noticed in this article—thereby directly in
dorsing the “radical and unwarrantable in
terferences ” recommended by the correspon
dent alluded to.
The same issue of the paper contains a
furious communication which, though making
no special threats, indulges in the most ex
travagant and sweeping denunciations—cal
culated to have any other than a proper effect
on the publio mind.
The same issue, of the 4th inst., contains
a communication from our friend “Reason,
which wo have heretofore noticed. In it he
says his remarks are ‘‘ not intended for ar
gument,” but “/or warning.” “ A storm is
gathering; its mutterings are daily increas
ing; it will burst upon us if Atlanta is not
relieved of the mighty burden of speculation
which is weighing her down. * * * Will
not the Governor come to our rescue ? As
civil law cannot remedy our evils, let us have
martiai law”
This is smacking quite liberally toward
interference with private rights, if we are
any judge. It is an open threat, and nothing
else.
We have no comments to add. The lntelm
ligencer has given a “ positive and flat denial ”
to our statement. We have produced the
documents. We can only say, ‘‘look here
on this picture, and then on this.”
One point more. We have steadily and
decidedly condemned ail extortioners, en
grossers and forestalled, and have done all
in our power to prevent speculation in the
necessities of life. We have earnestly advo
cated judicious and proper legislation to
prevent speculation, extortion, &c., in these
articles, before there was as much of it in
the land as there now is. The Legislature
last fall failed to pass such a bill as we fa
vored. This we could not help. The evils
of speculation, extortion, &c., are serious,
and are severely felt, but bow are they to be
remedied? We do not believe they are as
extensive as one would suppose, having noth-*
ing to judge from but the columns of the
Intelligencer, and a few other journals; and
however extensive they may be, they are
hard to reach by any process, and are not of
a kind to be tampered with recklessly or un
advisedly ; and cannot be remedied by mar
tial law, mob law, or any other arbitrary
process. Such measures are as unsuited to
the abatement of the evil, as a plaster ap
plied to the foot would be to cure a wound
upon the hand.
While the Intelligencer was keeping silence
last fall, we foresaw the evils that were com
ing, warned the people of their approach,
and urged the Legislature to take some judi
cious step, in hopes it might in some just
way arrest the evil. That body passed a bill
which seems to be a dead letter. It did not
meet our views at the time, and vi so an
nounced. The Legislature, in our judgment,
did not fully understand the question.
And lately, while the Intelligencer has been
making broad and sweeping denunciations,
calculated to excite the popular mind and
encourage rash and unlawful measures, we
have called the attention of the public and
our authorities to the class of men who are
engaged in speculation. We have pointed
them out and designated the law they were
violating. It was regular, and the most
practicable thing we could think of.
We leave the public to judge who, on the
one hand, has taken proper views upon this
whole question—suggesting and advocating
things right and practicable, and who on the
other, has only fomented discord by keeping
silent when good might have been done, and
throwing firebrands when it is too late to do
any good. We also leave the people to de
cide upon the merits of statements we made,
and the Intelligencer't “positive and flat de
nial ” of it.
The First Year of The War.
To-morrow is the anniversary of the taking
of Fort 8umter. It was a small beginning.
What a mighty storm of war has risen up
since that day! Then, the cloud was no big
ger than a mao’s hand—now it overspreads
the continent in one black terrific pall, and
rages with all the unbridled fury of fierce,
conflicting elements. We expect to withstand
the storm—to survive it, and come ont of it
erect, with oar political atmosphere purified
and a health giving vigor hnp&rted to it It
may be another year, or two, or three years,
or twenty years before it ends; but we can
carry it oa successfully till it does end, whe
ther that be sooner or later, and come out of
it victorious in the end, if we will. There is
only one chance for us to be subdued or over
come; that is for us to become faint-hearted,
cowardly, and give up. If we do thjs, wp pip
unworthy of success. If we maintain our
spirit and continue to put forth our exertions,
our subjugation will be utterly impossible.
W&P* A brother lawyer ones told John G.
Eaxe that a beard was unprofeaaion^L—
“ Right,” said Saxe, “ » lawyer cannot be
too bare-faced.”
Captain John H. Morgan—Bravery and
Modesty.
It is undeniable that truecourageand mod
esty almost invariably gi hand ia hand. Tha
official report of Capt. John H. Morgan of one
of his scouting expeditions beyond Murfrees
boro, Tepn., which we published on Thursday
last, affords a striking illustration of this.—
In that report, Capt Morgan, after recount
ing what had boon accomp ished by his little
command, says:
<i Returning alone in the direction of Mur
freesboro, I encountered a picket of six men,
who surrendered to me on being summoned
and delivered up their arms.”
While the brave Captain is so modest in an
nouncing the successful accomplishment of
one of the most daring deeds of the war, we
must, for the benefit of history and the pleas
ure of our readers, tell of the affair as it actu
ally occurred.
After having taken 98 prisoners near Nash
ville with his 25 men, Capt. Morgan started
them back in three different detachments.—
While subsequently returning alone with the
intention of overtaking them, as he was cross
ing the pike he observed some distance in ad
vance a Federal officer, Accosting a country
man who was approaching him from that di
rection, Captain Morgan ascertained that the
Yankee was a Lieut. Burns, with a picket of
five men who at the time were in a house at
the side of the road. Instantly forming his
purpose, Capt. Morgan loosened his revolvers,
buttoned his Federal overcoat so as to conceal
his own uniform, and galloped up to the pick
et.
“How are matters, Lieut. Burns?” said
Capt. Morgan, addressing the Yankee officer.
“All right, Colonel,” responded Burns.
“Where are your men ?” asked Morgan.
‘•In the house there,” replied Burns.
"Nice way of attending to your duty, sir —
Consider yourself under arrest, and hand me
your sword and pistol,” said Capt. Morgan.
His order was promptly obeyed, and Capt.
Morgan then directed Burns to call out his
men singly. After requiring them to hand to
him their sabres and guns, he ordered them
to march.
“We are going the wrong direction, Colo
nel," said Burns, after they had started.
“No, it’s all right* I am Captain Morgan!”
said the brave partisan to his now thoroughly
frightened captives.
At this juncture Capt. Morgan was joined
by one of his tneo, Mr. Spaulding, who had
with him four ot the prisoners taken earlier
in the day. After marching all night they
safely reached their command with the ten
prisoners.
All this but goes to show what can be ac
complished by a daring, courageous, yet pru
dent and discreet man. We should have a
Morgan with his band, to cut off and destroy
supplies, buru bridges, tear up roads, and har-
rass, annoy and cripple the vile Hessian in
vaders, on every mile of road between the
Confederate Hues and the Ohio river.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
THE BATTLE OF 8HILOH—DEATH OF
GENERAL JOHNSTON.
To the Senate ana mutt, vj~ itiy‘ iserrrareves up
the Confederate States:
The great importance of lb i«u just re
ceived from Tennessee iDduc* s me iu depait
from established usage, and io make to you
this communication in advance of official re
ports.
From telegraphic despatches received from
official sources, I am able to announco to you,
with entire confidence, that it has pleased
Almighty God to crown the C nfedorate arms
with a glorious and decisive victory over our
invaders.
Ou the morning of the 6th iustunt the con
verging oolumns of our army were combined
by its Commander-in Chief, oeneral A. 8
Johnston, in an assault on the Federal army,
then encamped near Pittsburg, on the Ten
nessee river. After a hard lought battle of
ten hours, the enemy was driven in disorder
from his position and pursued to the Tennes
see river, where, under cover of his gunboats,
be was, at the last accounts, endeavoring to
effect his retreat by aid of his transports.
The details of this great battle are yet too
few and incomplete to enable me to distin
guish with merited praise all of those who
may have conspicuously earned the right to
such distinction; and I prefer to delay my
own gratification in recommending them to
your special notice, rather thon incur the risk
of wounding the feelings of any by failing to
include them iu the list. Where such a vic
tory has been won over troops as numerous,
as well disciplined, armed and appointed as
those which have just been so signally rout
ed, we may well conclude that ope common
spirit of unflinching bravery and devotion to
our country's cause must have animated eve
ry breast, from that of the commanding Gen
eral to that of the humblest patriot who serv
ed in the ranks.
There is enough in the continued presence
of invaders on our soil to chasten our exulta
tion over tbfs brilliant success, and to remind
us of the grave dpty of continued exertion
uutil we shall extort trozn a proud and vain
glorious enemy the reluctant acknowledgment
of eur right to self-government. But an pU-
wise Creator has been pleased, while vouch
safing to us His countenance in battle, to af
flict us with a severe dispensation to which
we must bow jn humble submission. The
last lingering hope has disappeared, and it is
but too true that General AjkertfJydney John
ston is no more. The tale of his death is eim-
ply narrated in a despatch just received from
Col William Preston in the following words:
“General Johnston fell yesterday at half-
paat two o’clock, while leading a successful
charge, turning the enemy's right and gain
ing a brilliant victory. 4- minnie ball cut the
artery of his leg, but he rode oa til) from loss
of blood he fell exhausted, and died without
pain in a few moments. His body has been
entrusted to me by Gen. Beauregard, to be ta
ken to New Orleans and remain until direc
tions are received from his lamiiy.”
My long and close friendship with this de
parted chieftain and patriot forbid me to trust
myself in giving vent to the feelings which
this sad intelligence has evoked. Without
doing injustice to the living, it may safely be
asserted that our loss is irreparable; and that
among the shining hosts of the great and the
good who now cluster around the banner of
our country, there exists no purer spirit, no
more heroic soul, than that of the illustrious
man whose death I join you in lamenting.
In his death he ha? illustrated the charac
ter for which through life he was conspicuous
—that of singleness of purpose agd devotion
to duty. With his whole energies bent cp
gaining the victory which’ he deemed essen
tial to his country's cause, he rode on to the
accomplishment of his object, forgetful of self
W.bjle his very life blood was fast ebbing
away. H4 jast breath cheered his comrades
to victory. The ljs> #ognd he heard was their
shout of triumph. His ’aft tbpu?ht was his
country's, and long rnd deeply will his coun
try mourn his loss.

[From Harper’s Weekly, January, 1S5S.]
Albert Sidney Johnston.
Albert Sidney Johnston was bom in Ma
son County, Kentucky, in 1803. His lather
was a phyeician of education and high c ar
acter, from the vicinity of Salisbury, in on
necticut, who emigrated to Kentucky before
the adoption of the Constitution of the Lmtea
States. His eldest son, Josiah Stoddard
Johnston, was a statesman of signal ability,
and was returned to the Senate of the Uni e
States from Louisiana. He was the confiden*
tial friend of Mr. Clay, and his second in his
duel with Mr. Randolph. Sidney Johnston
was sent by his father, at an early age, to the
school of Dr. Lewis Marshall, a brother ot
Chief Justice Marshall, one of the most learn
ed and accomplished scholars of his day.-—
Afterwards he was placed at Transylvania
Universiiy, where he had nearly completed a
liberal edneation when his brother, discern
ing the peculiar bent of his mmd, induced
him to go to West Point. He graduated at
the Military Academy, and recerved a com*,
mission in the 6th Regiment of Infantryv—
During his academic course he was highly
distinguished for his attainments in mathe
matics and the severer studies of his prefes-
sion, being almost at the head of his class ;
but he displayed little aptitude for languages
aud the lighter branches of learning. He en
tered the army, and was ordered to the We3t,
where he was selected as Adjutant General
during the Black Hawk war, by the comman
der, General Atkinson; and though young,
earned a h’gh reputation for gallantry, ener-
gy and judgment. After the cessation of hos
tilities he resigned his commission, with the
intention of residing upon a plantation near
St. Louis ; but afterwards, during the strug
gle between Mexico and Texas, he left the
United States. He arrived in Texas Dot long
after the battle of San Jacinto, and while the
coutest was iu progress enrolled himself as a
private soldier in the army end rose rapidly
to high command. At that time the forces of
Texas, under the command of General Felix
Huston, a Ken ; uckian of rash and impetuous
couarge, but of noble an! generous impulses,
was collected for the defence of the infaut re
public. Johnston was elected to supercede
him iu the command. When he arrived Hus
ton chose to consider himself affronted upon
an imaginary point of etiquette, and chal
lenged him the day after he had assumed the
command. Johnston at ouce accepted the
challenge, and a meeting ensued, in which
he was wounded—as it was feared mortally
—by his antagonist who was and admirable
shot. The friend and second of Johnston,
thinking he was djing, muttered that the
matter should not rest, but would be aveng
ed by him. Johnston turned to him and
said, “ It is my request, in the event of my
death, that you shall yield obedience to my
seoond in command. General Huston; and I
trust you will not, by such conduct, promote
a spirit of insubordination. ” Huston after
wards became the friend of Johnston, and al
ways spoke of him with the highest conside
ration and respect.
General Johnston afterwards was appoin
ted Secretary of War, in Texas, and organ
ized the expedition under Burleson, in 1&39
against the Cherokees. He was present in
person at the decisive engagement, on the
River Nutces, in whicn the Cherokees. seven
hundred strong, were routed by the TexanB
In his department he manifested not only
skill as a soldier in every emergency, bu
ability and discretion as a civilian. He be
came an ardent advocate for the annexation
of Texas to the United States, and used all
the influence he possessed to secure its oon
summation. Subsequently, when war was
declared u^.ii-st. Mexico, aud he was in pri
vate life, residing upon his plantation in
Brazoria County, General Taylor wrote to
him from Point Isabel, and requested him to
Join him immediately. Johnston at once
volunteered as a private soldier, collected
few friends, appointed a rendezvous at Point
Isabel, and, as there was no vessels, mounted
his horse, and joined General Taylor. Two
Texan regiments assembled, and Johnston
was elected Colonel of one, and the celebra
ted partisan officer, Jack Hayes, was elected
Colonel of the ether. Johnston's regiment
was disbanded before the battle of Monterey
but he was unwilling to leave the scene of
active operatioo, and went forward with the
army. He was appointed Inspector General
by Taylor, of General William 0. Butler’s
division, aud accepted the place. He was
present at Monterey; and during a heavy
tire upon Mitchell’s Ohio regiment, of which
the Colonel fell wounded, displayed the most
conspicuous coolness, gallantry, and skill
His borse was thrice shot, but he escaped
unwounded. He was thanked in his despatch
es by General Butler for his conduct on that
memorable occasion, and was urged by Gen
eral Taylor for the post of Brigadier-General,
in preference to numbers of brave and skill
ful officers under his command. The com
mission was subsequently bestowed upon Ca
leb Cushing.
After his services iu Mexico Johnston again
returned to his plantation. When he went
to fexas he possessed a sufficient fortune,
which, bojyevef, had become impaired from
the necessary uegiept of his private affairs.
Naturally independent in character, and
punctual in the fulfillment of his obligations,
Ue set to work on his place when General
Taylor, then President, tendered him the ap
pointment of Paymaster, with the rank of
Major, as it was then the only appropriate
place within his gift. Johnston held the
pommiesion for several years, until the new
regiments wppe levied, when the Secretary of
War, Jeflerson Davis, who knew his skill as
a soldier, and his high character lor ^orth
and ability, and who had known him at West
him Point, aud had seen in the field, appoin
ted him Coloneiof the 3i_Cavalry. Since that
time Johnston has been chiefly employed as
Commanding officer of the Southwestern Mil
itary Department.
When the recent troubles in Utah occurred
Johnston was ordered to Washington, and
the general opinion of the army, as well as
the judgment of the President, indicated him
as me proper officer to bo trusted with the
command. Thus far he has pushed forward
with extraordinary energy, notwithstanding
the inclement season of me year, the snow oi
the mountains, and the numberless impedi
ments to the march of an army under such
circumstances.
Colonel Johnston is now in the natural
vigor of manhood. He is above six feet in
height, strongly and powerfully formed, with
a grave, dignified and commanding presence.
His features are strongly marked, showing
his Scottish lineage, and denote great resolu
tion and composure of character. His com
plexion, naturally fair, is, from exposure, a
deep brown. His habits are abstemious and
temperate, and no excess has impaired his
poserful constitution. His mind is cis*r
strong, and well ;uitivated. His manner is
conrteous, but ratber grave acj silent He
has many devoted friends, but they have beep
won and secured rather by me native diemiy
and nobility of his chaiacter man by his
power of address. He is a man of /iron*
will and ardent temper, but his whole bear
ing lesu ea the seif control he has acquired.
