The Senator from Louisiana (Mr. Semtnes) h;;s brought in a parcel of garbled extracts from Gen. Johnston's correspondence to show that lie did nut intend to defend Atlanta. The coirespondeDce can be seen by a Senator, but not by the Senate. It can he furnished to Senators in broken doses, so as to destroy the reputation of a gallant an*] patriotic soldier, but from the public it is with held, lest the truth may be known. This is not the first instance of unfair dealing. A resolution was passed by the House, soon after the fali of V icksburg. asking for the correspondence between Gen.

Did he forget that Marlborough, the greatestof all military geniuses, never fought but five battles? V* ellingtori some times was a fighting general, and sometimes a retreating general.
