Albert Sidney Johnston was born in Ma con county, Kentucky, in 1803. His fath er was a physician of education find high character, from the vicinity of Salisbury, in Connecticut, who emigrated to Kentucky before the adoption of the Constitution of the United States. Ills eldest son, Josiuh Stoddard Johuston, was a sta'esmau of sig nal ability, and was returned to the Senate of the United States from Louisiana. He was the confidential friend of Mr. Clay, and his second in his duel with Randolph.* Sid ney Johnston was sent by his father, at an early age, to the school of Dr. Lewis Mar shall, a brother of Chief Justice Marshall, one ot the most learned and accomplished scholars ol his day. Afterward he was placed at Transylvania University, where he had nearly completed a liberal education when his brother, discerning the peculiar bi nt of his mind, induced him to go to \S est Point. He graduated at the Military Academy, and received a commission in the Otli Regiment of Infantry. During his aca demic course lie was highly distinguished for his attainments in mathematics and the severer studies of his profession, being al most at the head of his class; but he dis played little aptitude for languages and the lighter branches of learning. He entered the army, and was ordered to the West, where he was selected as Adjutant-General during the Black Hawk war, by the com niauder, Gen. Atkinson, and though young, earned a high reputation for gallantry, energy and judgment. After the cessation of hos tilities he resigned his commission with Die intention ol residing upon a plantation near St. Louis; but afterward, during the strug gle between Mexico and Texas, he left the l nited States, lie arrived in Texas not long after the battle of San Jacinto, and while the contest was in progress enrolled himself as a private soldier iu the army, and rose rapidly to high command. At that time the forces of Texas, under the command of General l'tdix Huston, a Kentuckian of rash and impetuous courage, but of noble and generous impulses, was collected for the defence of the infant republic. Johnston was elected to supersede him in command. \\ hen he arrived Huston chose to consider himselt affronted upon an imaginary point of etiquette, and challenged him the day af ter lie assumed the command. Johuston at once accepted the challenge, and a meet ing ensued, in which he was wounded—as it was feared, mortally—by his antagonist who was an admirable shot. The friend and second of Johnston, thinking he was dying, muttered that the matter should not rest, but would be avenged by him. Johus ton turned to him and said, “ It is my re quest, in the event of my death, that you shall yield obedience to my second in com mand, General Huston; and I trust you will not, by such conduct, promote a spirit of in subordination.” Huston afterward became the friend of Johnston, and always spoke of him iu the highest consideration and re spect. General Johnston afterward was appointed Secretary of War in Texas, and organized tiie expedition uuder Burkson, in 1830, against the Cherokees. He was present in person at the decisive engagement on ihe river Nueces, in which the Cherokees, seven hundred strong, were routed by the Texans. In his department he manifested not only skill as a soldier in every emergency, but 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 con summation. Subsequently, wheu war was declared agaiust Mexico, and he was iu 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 a tew trieuds, 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 Oolenel of one, and the celebrat ed partisan officer, Jack IJaye, was elected Colonel ot the other. Johnston’s regiment was disbanded before the battle of Monterey, but he was unwilling to leave the scene of active operation, and went forward with the army. He was appointed Inspector-General, by Taylor, of Geueial William 0. Butler’s divisigD, and accepted the place, Hn was present at Monterey; and during a heavi fire upou Mitchell’s Ohio regiment, of which the Colonel fell wounded, displayed the most conspicuous coolness, gallantry, and skill.— 11C horse was thrice -h it, but lie escaped unwounded, lie was thanked iu his dis patches by Geuerai Butk-r lor his conduct mi that memorable occasion, and was urged by Genera! laylor for the post of Brigadier General, in preference to numbers of brave and skiillul officers uuder his command.— 11k* c-Hu mission was subsequently bestowed upon Caleb Cushing After his s< rvices in Mexico Johnston again returned to # his plantation. When he went to 'Texas he possessed a sufficient fortune, whiv'd), however, had become impair vd hum the necessary neglect of bis private affairs Naturally independent in character, and punctual iu the lultillment of his obli gatious, lie set to work ou his place when General 'Taylor, then President, tendered him the appointment of Paymaster, with the rank of Major, as it was then the only np propriate place within his gift. Johuston held the commission for several years, until the new regiments were levied, when the Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis, w’ho knew his skill as a soldier, and his high character fur worth aud ability, and who had known him at \Y est. Point, and had seen linn in the field, appointed him Colonel of the 3rd Cavalry. Since that time Johnston has bee*, chiefly employed as commanding officer of the ISouthewesferu Military De partment. When the recent troubles in Utah* oc curred Johnston was ordered to Washington, and the general opinion of the army, as well as the judgment of the President, indicated him as the proper officer to bo intrusted with the command. Thus far he has pushed for ward with extraordinary energy, notwith standing the inclement season of the year, the snow of the mountains, aud the number loss impediments 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 reso lution and composure of character. His complexion, naturally fair, is, from expos ure, a deep brown. His habits are abstem ious and temperate, and no excess lias im paired his powerful constitution. His mind is clear, strong, and well cultivated. His manner is courteous, but rather grave and silent. He has many devoted friends, but they have been won and secured rather by the native dignity and nobility of his char acter than by his power of address. He is a man oi strong will and ardent temper, but his whole bearing testifies the self-control he lias acquired. Asa soldier he stands very high in the opinion of the army. As an instance of this it may be mentioned that, the gallant arid impetuous Worth, when asked who was the best soldier he had ever known, replied, 1; [ consider Sidney Johns ton the best soldier I ever knew.” Death of Major John IT. Howard It saddens us beyond the power of language to declare to record the death of Major John TL Howard. He "died at his plantation on I lint River, on Sunday morning, the Gth instant, in the 71sr year of his age. A vio lent attack of fever which lie suffered last fall, and which continued for several months, completely prostrated his physical energies, an! it only remained for some slight de rangement to complete the work of the des troyer. Major Howard was one of the'most re markable men of his day. In some of the finest attributes of his charactr we doubt if his equal ever lived. Surely no man ever possessed a more indomitable will, or more unflagging energy. Combined with a strong ami vigorous intellect and a public spirited benevolence never surpassed, those qualities made him pre-eminently a public benefac tor. The factories that line the shore of our river ; the Muscogee mul the Mobile and Girard railroads, and the city itself, are endearing monuments of his z-.*al and ener gy in the public siTvice. But for his timely exertions in her behalf, Columbus would doubtless, ere new have dwindled to the stature of a country village. Her people will ever hold the character and services of their noble benefactor in grateful remem brance.— Columbus Times. Our Army al Coriutla. In view of the great battle and victory at Shiloh, near Corinth, Miss., the following written on the 24th ult., by a correspondent of the New Orleans Delta , will be found in teresting ; On approaching this place I was not so much impressed by the prodigious display of camps and military paraphernalia, for which I had been prepared by ac-countson the road, as I was by the order and system that pre vail. and the unexampled spectacle of so vast a collection of Southern soldiery with out a single case of drunkenness or a symp tom of the presence of that great bane of our country —whiskey. This novel exhibition is due to the admirable discipline introduced by Gen. Bragg and rapidly enforced by 15rig.- Gen. Gladden, who is commandant at this post. These officers deserve the eternal grat irude of the South for great reform. Not a drop of intuxeating liquor i- permitted to be sold anywhere on this line. If any is brought here, it is seized and emptied in the road. The strictest discipline is everywhere enforced, and, as a consequence, we have an army here that is au honor to the South, worthy of our cause, aud which can never be beaten* From the Richmond Enquirer. Editors: Tho Confederate -Con :ress will probably adjourn in a short tinn Before they do so, there is one act they should certainly perform; and that it is ti rescind the resolution by which they allowed themselves ?8.000 a year and mileage. T> uir leaders in this revolution, we, the peo ple, look for examples of self-denial and pat riotisui. These men are to live in history rhey stand la foie their eouutry and before 'he world.—They iua\ send their nanus down to posterity as worthy sous of tlios* illustrious sires, who, in our first great strug gle for independence, pledged their all— ; their ht:<s } Jorh'H s itml nn frurw —ti. i the holy cause,. With the speaking marble that holds th* form and features of the Father of his Coun try looking upon them, there was alas ! i o man that caught in juration fiom that vei - j eruble form, and proposed to follow his ex ample and sei ve their country in this day of darkness and peril without fee or reward. I low sad t- f ' think that from all this fail ! Southern land, tin l chosen leaders of a great and chivalrous people, should gather in a National Congress, and uot one declare that he would serve his country as Washington did What a thrill would have gone through the hearts of our people if they had read that our Congress had resolved not t » take one cent from the public treasury beyond their bare expenses. And was there not enough in the heroic devotion of the people to raise them if necessary, to such a height of patriotic feeling ? Have not our citizens j poured out their millions to clothe our ar -1 mies and thus save the treasury a vast ex j expense ? Have not our mothers and our wives stripped the blankets from their chil dren's beds and sent them to cover our shiv ering soldiers ? Arc notour Churches now taking down their chiming bells and semi ding them to the foundries to cast into can j non ? Are not our people piling up their cot j ton and tobacco to burn it in the face of the j advancing foe? Had this Congress’ acted j their part as nobly in this great drama, wit i should now feel that from the highest to the ! lowest, we are all standing heart to heart in our dear country’s cause. Hut let the Congress repair the evil thev have done; it is not too late. Let no fa Iso pride keep them from expunging this hand writing which they have made against them selves. Let them thiuk of the soldiers who I get eleven dollars a month—whether on the march, or in the bivouac, in- the light; I t them then think o{ the wives and children jof these noble fellows, battling with pover ty and the extortioner at home ; let, them think of the widows uud orphans, who should now be receiving pensions from a govern ment whose foundations have been laid in the blood of their husbands and fathers ; let them think of the true men and women who have laid their own homes in ashes before the eyes of the ruthless invader, and now wander through this land homeless and al most friendless. But if those considerations do not avail, let them remember that they are hut the servants of the people, and that as surely as the Sun shines in Heaven they must meet a day of reckoning, trom a grieved and in dignant constituency. “Give an account of tireir stewardship,” will he a terrible demand. The writer trusts that all our citizens who occupy elevated portions, will embrace the j opportunity to win fame for themselves and bestow advantages on their eouutry, by the | display of a spirit of patriotic self abnega tion. Let them remember that thev are individuals of a suffering, struggling people, many of whom are exiles, homeless. Oh, how it would inspire the country and en shrine themselves in the popular affection, I if they would set the example of patriotic disinterestedness, and each exclaim, “my country is bleeding, my country men are suf fering —it is the hour of seif-denial—l will sutler with my countrymen V' We wait to see letrenehment in high pla ces. Who will set us the example ? Shall |it come ? if so, well; if not, we shall not | give up, hut shall only widen the light!— We shall fight"against the greed of gain at 1 home, as we shall fight against the foe in the field of death. —Before high Heaven have the people recorded the vow that, they will be free. This vow they will maintain if it take the last dollar and draw the last drop of blood. If Congress will not rnaguanimeu.slv re trace their steps and relax their grasp on the money hags, then we submit another pimpo sition. The ladies are giving their pin money to build iron clad guuboats. We propose that the Congress shall give all above their necessary expenses for ihe pur pose of building au iron clad steamer, to be called “The Confederate Congress/' whose cannon, ar least, shall speik in tones and deeds of patriotism that shall cheer and animate our people ! Vv'e are deeply serious in this matter.— Let Congress atone for the grevious wrong they have done the cause of Southern Inde pendence. They have hung in our sight the most discouraging sign in all this war. One or the People. Death of Lieut. J. J.
