Newspaper Description of Gen. A. S. Johnston.
The following paragraph is from a letter in the
New Orleans Delta of the Ist insi:
The proclamation of Gen A S Johnston is in
deed a model, superior certainly in form to any
that has yet been issued by any of our Generals,
the conclusions flowing so naturally from the
postulate, and th 9 whole subscribed with that
modesty so proper, but whieh has not yet char
acterised any similar production, by order ofthe
President of the Confederate States. There
seemed to be some disposition in the otter gen
erals to pattern after the model officer, and in
many respects most of them need to profit by the
ie\?on ot his examples. Unlike our other officer
he did not seem to imagine that a military uni
form—not even an enaulette, was necessary to
ike recognition of his rank, while the assistance
of a posse of aids was utterly ignored, or at
least but little called into requisition. lie is a
large sized man, about six feet if he would stand
Witn his head up, weighing, I suppose, one hun
died and eighty ; his head considerably stooped
forward, eyts black, hair and beard naturally
dark, but gray from age, his hair being thrown
back of his ears and resting irregularly about
his shoulders, in a manner that indicates no very
frequent smoothing or trimming. He dresses
very plainly, generally wearing a gray suit and
black silk hat; and as I saw him, riding with
out company far out through our lines, doubtless
examining every work, but seemingly indifferent
to everything, I should sooner have taken him
for a plain farmer and have passed him as an
or inary individual, had not one of the officers
called my attention to him as “our great Gen
eral.” I saw him several times afterwards, al
ways alone, getting bis mail in person from the
office, seeming disposed to execute his own com
missions, and to have as little of his business
done by proxy as possible. He is certainly not a
man who would pass a post office m order, as
some do, to indulge in the display of sending an
adjn ant for their mail. I did net have the
pleasure of a personal interview with him, and
have only endeavored to picture to your nrind
one of our great leaders,as he Hppears'to the mosi
casual observers.”
on,” the Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, conjectures that an expedi
tion by land and sea against Texas is in the
LincolQ programme ,
Bcaarpsard. Johnson and their Stafs,
Prince Napnleon in his correspondence to the
“Opinion Nationale," of September Ith thus
describes Generals Beauregard and Johnson and
their staff officers:
C.KJf. BEAUBKGAIS.U.
I have told you of the Generals commanding
the Northern Army. The detain which I send
you would be incomplete were I not to speak
also of those who command the Southern army
—Generals Beauregard and Johnston.
Gen. Beauregard i? of French origin, that is
to aay, bis family emigrated from Franco to
Canada about a hundred and fifty years since.—
Ilis father left the English Colony to become a
citizen of the United States and settled in New
Orleans. He there changed his religion, abjuring
Protestantism and embracing Catholicity, which
is the religion of the General and his family. A
pupil at West Point, Beauregard was a lieuten
ant colonel in the regular army when the war
broke out. He had just been appointed Super
intendent of the West Point Academy.
The government of his State, Louisiana, re
called him, made him leave the Federal army,
and President Jefferson Davi3 immediately con
ferred upon him the rank of General and the
command of the troops at Charleston. We
know that the command gave him the opportu
nity of firing the first cannon shot which rent
tho flag of the thirty-four stars. lie bombard
ed and took,Fort Sumter, a success which achiev
ed him an immense popularity. When the se
cession army formed to march on Washington,
Beauregard was invested with the grade cf Gen
eral of Division—Major General.
Beauregard is forty years of age. He is small,
brown, thin, extremely vigorous, although his
features wear a tired expression, end his hair
has whitened prematurely. Face, physiognomy,
tongue, accent, everything about him is French.
His bravery i3 great and undeniable, andev*ry
thing and. nott3 in him, if not a superior general
intelligence, at least a very remarkable military
aptitude. He is quick; a little abrupt, and al
| though well educated and distinguished in his
manners, he must sometimes offend, less by what
ho says than by his manner ot saying it. Per
haps he does not repress with sufficient care the
manifestations of an ardent personality which
knows its worth, and to which an Immense mili
tary success may have given a legitimate self
confidence. He is extremely impassioned in
the defen.-e of the cause which he serve.-; at least
he takes less care to conceal his passion under
a calm and cold exterior than do mo t of his
comrades of eiiher army. To sum up all, the
South has found in him a man of uncommon ar
dor, a ceaseless act vitv and indomitable pow
er of will—characters by wkiuh wo recog
nise the men destined to win battles and to lead
parties.
GENERAL JOHNSTON.
General Johnston, also a pupil of West Point,
is a little older than Beauregard, and was a Colo
nel in the regular army at the period of sece3
aion. He served very brilliantly in the Mexican
eampaigu,and eDjoys in the United Btaies a gre..t
reputation for capacity and probity. An extreme
reserve, a modesty no less great, cause a tort of
sadness to appear to paralire in him the brilliant
qualities which every one recognizes in him;
but place him in the field of battle, and then the
true warrior reappears in him as if bv enchant
ment.
These are the two men who command the
Southern army. I say, “who command,” be
cause in truth it is pretty difficult to say which
of the two i3 in possession of the veritable chief
command. Both have the same grade, and it
appears that either through right of seniority or
in consequence of a special commission, John
ston is in the camp at Manassas, the superior of
Beauregard; end yet, notwithstanding the pres
ence of J ohnston at the battle of Bull Run, it i3
admitted by every one—by Beauregard first, and
afterward by Johnston—that Beauregard conduc
ted the battle, and has the honor ot the victory.
It has been explained to mo that Johnston
having arrived only the previous evening at
Manassas with a portion of his troops, did not
assume the supreme command until tho day
after the fight, and acted on that day merely as
a support to his colleague. But these are shad
ows which only a military man can seize, for
these attributes of rank and the constitution of
command, form the obscurest part of the mili
tary organization of Americans. For the for
eigner, whom these professional questions do
not interest—who is content with hearing what
may be told him and seeing what may be shown
him—Beauregard is the Southern commander
in-chief. It is lie who gained the battle of Bull
Run, and it is lie who will gain the next battle
that will be fought.
THE SOUTHERN STATE OfEICEKS.
The Staffs of the generals in chief (Beaure
gnrd and Johnston) are remarkable. If the
United States were not a republic, I would
say that those staffs are composed ofthe flow
er ofthe southern nobility. Most ofthem pos
sess enormous fortunes.
Disinterested in this civil war, a stranger to
the hatreds, the passions and the interests
which have inflamed it, I could not feel other
wise than touched at the sight of those white,
moustached men of the military, aristocratic
bearing and distinguished manners, who have
left their firesides and high social positions to
serve as aids in the rudest of wars, to young
generals hitherto unknown.
THE .SPIRIT OF BOTH ARMIES.
It is incontestible that ihere is much more
passion and ardor among the officere ofthe
southern than the northern army. It is insis
ted in the secession camp that this ardor, this
disinterested devotion to the common cau-e,
is shared bv the soldiers; that In the south
they serve through honor and conviction ; that
among the Federals the soldier kn ws no oth
er allurement than pay, no other impulse than
that of wan*—the be-t recruitiug officer amon?
the populations of the large cities
Certain y it is g ing too far to generalize a
fact which may be true to some extent. In
dividua; bravery is nconte.-la> le superior in
the Confederate camp; but ihe Union army
makes up for his disadvantage by a more ad
vanced military orga iza ion and knowledge,
at least among the soldiers; so that matters
being almost equally balanced, it is diffic It
enough o f resee towards which sidetha for
tune of war will incline.

as soon as she Lad crossed the gutter she look
ed very intentlv at one ofthe prisoners, as if
she half recognized his youthful features.
Then, at once stretching out her arms, she ex
olaimed, “Oh. good God, my brother!” But

warn to recognize her under the circumstan

\S 0 are under steam, and sail early to-morrow
morning, in company with several of the naval
vessels that have been lying here since theev.nt
sul demonstration of Ilatteras Inlet, to an im
porant point upon the Southern coast, thero to
achieve another victory similar to that so success
ful at Forts Ilatteras and Clark. It will be, if I
am not greatly mistaken, an imposing and ter
rific assault, resulting triumphantly to <>ur gal
lant forces and the good eiftiso hey, maintain.
It almost seems superfluous to remark hat it
would beau act ot the greatest imprudence to
venture to give particulars, or to speak
of the formidable movement; yet I will remark
that should victory again perch up n < ur ban

will be enabled to deal the severest blows that

Troubles among tub Northwestern Ri
tles.—The St. Louis Democrat, of the 24th ult.,
says:
The Nortwestern Rifle Regiment, on Sunday,
were furnished in tho arsenal with Belgian mus
ket.?. Having expected the very best rifles ex
tant, some of the men, if not the majority of tho
regiment, swore they would not have the Belgian
arms, andEeveral bayonets were bent and broken
in anger. A telegram to Gen. Fremont mention
ed the affair, and his instant answer was to put
the refractory regiment under guard, which was
done after they had made a rush to beth gates in
attempts to escape, in which they were frustrated
hy the ready action of some fifty men under
arms. A' cannon was also pointed at them, and
they succumbed. After a night's reflection they
were quite orderly, having seen the folly of their
conduct, and resolved to accept tho muskets,
which will bs exchanged for rifles at the earliest
opportunity.
Difficulties op the North. —Among the
many reasons assigned by Northern men for the
cruel war now waged by the North against the
South, we do not recollect to have seen the hon
est truth moie plainly told, thnn fall from the
lips cf Gen McClellan, as set forth in the follow
ing extract:
“A few months ago, Goa McClellan was asked
by a friend from Kentucky—‘Do you expect by
this war to subjugate tho* South ?’ ‘Subjugate
the South !’ ho replied, ‘No, sir; the North can
no more subjugate the South than the South can
subjugate the North.' ‘W hat then do you pro
pose as the object and justification of this hor
rid war?’ The answer was: “Well, sir, this war
is a military necessity to the North* We are
obliged to fight you, or we shall have to fight one
another. There is an impression abroad unfa
vorable to cur courage; the same opinion pre
vails at the South ; and if we did not fight, we
should lo?e the control over a large portion of
our own people. So wc are under a necessity
to fight.’"
The Central Presbyterian, of Kichmoad, 13 re
sponsible for the statement, having received it
from ‘good authority.’
