Grn.Joe Johnston. . j;
A lato number of tho London Index
has iv review*of a book written by r«
officer of tha British array, who, not
long ago, nv.ido a tour through the Con-
federncy, from Texas to .Hlchmond,
and who is described as n gentleman of
remarkable intelligence, and n.writer
of no ordinary ability. Though rather
inclining to the Northern Bide when he
first visited this country, on account of
his prejudices against slavery, personal
observation converted iiim ih to a warm
friend and admirer of the Confederate
people, and .of their heroic struggles
and sacrifices in this war. He speaks
with fervor of the unsurpassed courage
and devotion of the private soldiers,
and is eulogistic of the Spartan firm*
ness of the -women, Who have given
their son* ttnd brothers, not only with
out a murmur, hut. with pride and Joy,
to the defence of their country. This
officer visited the camp of Qpn. Joft
Johnston.at the time Grant woe besieg
ing Vicksburg, and ho mentions one
fact which we do not recollect to have
seen before, and which, explains satis
factorily the inaction pf. that officer,
for which lie receiyed at tjip time so
much denunciation from people who
knew positively nothing of tho situa>
tion. Ho says that, while Gen. Grant
was besieging Vicksburg with seventy-
five thousand men, Gen. Johnson had
under his command not more than
eleven thousand men and sixteen pie>-
ces of artillery. To have attacked
Grant under such circumstances would
have been to sum-ifice his whole 'force
without the possibility of saving Vicks
burg; whereas, if Vicksburg hud been
evacun'ed, ns we understand was Gen
Johnstou's pln-i, und the army of Pem
berton united with Ihiit or Johnston
the-Yankees would 1 ' have util)- hud
Vicksburg, as they huve it now, g.ii-1 af
fairs itt the Southwest mould Ho vevy
different from their prcseirt condition
Such disclosures as this should warn
the people and the pres!) to he more
tolerant in their judgment of ’mutters-
of which they know holliing: flToy
should-.in miml thutour rulers and
officers li in their possession of
which the public ut lurge know noth
ing. und which cannot bo published
without dam ago to tho interests of the
cour.‘ry. We may-bo sure t hat they
are quite us patriotic as ourselves, and
fur their own sukes, ns well us for the
sake of tho cause, are-going to do all
tlmt circumstances permit. Wo ob
serve that the intelligent Richmond
correspondent ot\ the London Morning
Herald expresses the rear tlmt Generul
Johnston may bo influenced in bis pres'
ent position by populur clamor. He
may dismiss nil quell apprehensions.—
Gen. Johnston does pot hold..in any de'
gree. of respect unenlightened publio
opinion.. He is going to do just what
he thinks best-, and Will stand as firm
us a ruck upon the bu.-i* of his own
judgment. And a more solid judgment
in the. ur.t of, war no military man pos
sesses. Wo regard him as one of tho
must consummate soldiers whom lilts
.great struggle has produced, and look
tiirwurd with a high and hopeful spirit
to the. future of liis great army. Wo
have.watched him from the beginning,
and our admiration of him is greater nt
this hour, than wheu lie fell like a thun
derbolt upon tho columns of the ene
my at Manassas. ,.Gmi. Joo. Johnston

The horrible affair occurred near

15th of November, and was perpotva- *

Auspicious Signs.
In the extracts,lately published in
this journal, says llie. Richmond, IhV
patch, from-the Richmond correspon
dence of tho London Morning Herald,
it was clearly, shown m t’haV the Yankee
draft had proved n failure. Tito recent
debate in tho Uuitcd States Senate
upon,tho crazy proposition of a Sena
tor from Wisconsin, to raise a million
of men for the delivemhce of the Yan*
kco prisoners in .Riojimond, elicited
tho declaration from Senator Wilsoh
tlint a hundred thousand might possibly
be raised, but. that there raw recruit*
would soon 'be disposed 'of by the vet’
crans of General Lee. The enormou*
bounties offered’for volunteers, show
the increased difficuHics'of raising men
for the Yankee armies. Gold is higher *
in New-York than ever before. If Ihe
Confederate Congress and the people of
tho Confederate States, now’ do 1 their
duty, tlio “win ter of our discontent,"
under the blossings of Providence, will
give placo to a glorious spring, and the
backbone of the Yankee invasion will
bo finally .and forever broken. Only
Ict us be truo to ourselves, and inspire
tlio army ih our front with the moral
effect of a harmonious and determined
psople, and tlio starry cross lbf tha
Confederacy will emerge from tho
clouds and darkness-which now sur
round it in a blaze of- glory. -
It is unmanly, wicked, and traitorous
to despair under such circumstances’a*
how surround us. Let the croaker*
and fault finders, for the sake of their
coun try, 1 consent to an armistice’.of
three months, and devote'fiiat interval*
before tho opening of the campaign,
to working cheorfully and harmoniuo*-
ly in tho common cause. Let- the
whole Confederacy rise as one men,
and striko such a blow as agreat. peo
ple ought'to stiike'for its liberties and
rigliis; Let the stragglers and absen
tees como back to their gallant mid.
faithful brethren’.'.- One grand effort
more and we are free, With the gio*'
rious triumph of the Confederate arm*,
which, wo confidently anticipate in the ,
coming spving, the military and finant
cial power of Lipcolndom will be
crushed, and the independence of the
