person yesterday, that you have for pub
lication the manuscript of General John-

its immediate publication, for I believe it
Atlanta, the result of that siege would
have been very different. If thermal:
had been defeated in front of Atlanta—
so far from his ha e of hu supplies, and
in the interior of the enemy’s country - ,
already swept clean by Johnston’s retreat,
the effect at the North might have been
felt, to the extent possibly, of the election
of McClellan President, and a very differ
ent bort of "roconstmetion” from that
which'succeeded. At all event.-:, tho en
tire aspect of the ituatiou might have
been materially affected, at least less dis-
astrously to the Lost Cause—never ro
wgregioubiy lo:t x-i Atlanta, and by the
mutin',city at Richmond. IVriiap, Geii. nil
Johnston’s narrative will enlighten u*
positively on this point.
The book w ill l e out by January, and
we agree with General Sherman that it is
likely to havo a most extensive sale in
the North and Europe, as well as in the j
South, and we further agree with General
Hooker that it may be regarded as a use
ful 1-sson for study for all persona who
may hereafter elect for their calling the

"Western Pmlrjo l-'irc.s.
Tho Western papers are full of the de
tails of tho recent terrible prairie fires in
Kansas and Dakota. The flames spread
devastation through twelve comities in
Kansas, so that the extent of territory
ravaged may at least K reckoned byhnn-
dreds of square miles. Eve-witnesses
say tliat the flames camo upon them iu
tlie shape and almost with the speed of
a tornado. Distant clouds u i re fir t s eon,
tlie air grew still and sickly, then Die
wind came in moaning puffs. But, when
nearer, there was no mistaking the char
acter of tbo visitation. The inhabitant”,
were compelled to lice for their lives,
while the fin* laid hold upon L irn home ,
belts of timber, wood pile and fences,
and converted them into heap : of hlax-
ing embers. Hay rick wheat and corn
altooks nnd straw stacks have been anni
hilated. Smoke smears upon stoue build- I
ings show similar havoc, nud an occasional
carcass of a horse or ox make- tliorcsem-
blanee to Die battle-field almost porf.vt.
To form a general estimate of tho loss to
tho State would be impo - ihle at pro out.
but it will l o counted hy hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, if it does not mount into
millions. The farmers are left without
anything to feed to their -lock, which
thoy wili bo forced to -ell at a great sac
rifice. In Dakota the lire swept over lee”,
territory, but tho terror occasioned by the
flames was scarcely less. At V
only tho desperate effort s of tha citizens,
who turned out with plows and axes, saved
tlie town. The whole eouutry in tho vi
cinity was burned over, and it is flared
that many lives have been lest. Tho
scene in the streets was appalling. Wo
men and children ran about crazy with
fear, and the air was so oppressed with
smoke and fire thnt breathing was diffi
cult.

Horace Maynar.1 will lose nothing hy
his display of liberal opinions. No man
has been more unyielding, perhaps more
cordially resentful, than he has l>eon. but
he is one of the few Radicals in the Seutli

and who, whilst occupying high place in
the party of conquest, lias had no personal
share or profit in the plundering. May
nard's honesty, joined to his want of
spontaneity and magnetism, has stood in
tho way of his advancement for years.
Yet it is a fact that few men are more
obliging and kindly disposed. Cold in
demeanor, litigious in controversy, low
ering in appearance, often coptious aud
never sunny, Maynard lias forced his way
in public life solely by tlie bent and power
of hi. abilities, which are of the first

"IV. T. Ssnacur, General.”
Wo learn that this letter originated in
this way : General Sherman, while in Ap
pleton's Broadway store, a sliort time
since, was noted by tlio publishers for Ids
opinions as to thu odvisabilityof the pub
lication of Johnston's Campaigns.” The
General promptly ailvtsod the publication,
and said he would do more—would give
it in writing—which lie did thu next day,
from Washington. Ho further stated to
thu Messrs. Appleton (t Co., in the boar-
ing of our informant, that be regarJed
Gen, Joseph E. Johnston us one of tbo
>t masters of tlio art of war now
and added, that if Johnston bad
lieeii in command of tlie Reliel army of
Virgiuia, just preceding the battle of
Gettysburg, that tliat battle would never
havo been fought, and tliat JvhtuloH teuulJ
Inii’s U'en in 1‘UilaJeIyhui. Ho would have
ascribed sucli a result to tlio difference of
tho strategic modes of Leo and Johnston,
while regarding both of them ablo com
manders and great soldiers.
But tho following letter from Gen. Joe
Hooker is a stronger indorsement yet of
the achievements and military genius of
Johu-don. It is addressed to Gen. Mans
field Lovell:
"Now York Citv, Oct. 21, 1873,
"den. if. Lorell:
"Mv Dear General—Your hitter of
the 15th iii.it., requesting my professional
opinion concerning the c induct of tho re
treat of tho Confederate army in lSGt,
while commanded by General Joseph E.
| Johnston, and also of tlie impression pro-
, dneed in thu Union army on being in-
i formed of the removal of that officer from
{ his position was received. I liavc no pos
sible objection to communicating to you
my views on this subject, briefly, of course
(as I havo not my note* and maps of tho
campaign near me to refer to) and, be
side. I wish to bo understood, in advance,
that my opinions on this subject nro ex
pressed iu no ostentatious manner^ but
merely to comply with your request, and
to do ju.-tice, as far os lies iu my pow
to a brother officer toward whom I have
always felt tlio highest admiration for his
superior military accomplishments.
"J was familiar with his services in the
Seminole war, and also in our war with
Mexico.
" During the campaign to which you
refer I served in the army oppesed to
him, in command of a corpse, on which,
as you intimate, much of the heavy work
of the campaign devolved—I mean the
retreat of the Confederate tinny from
Buzzard's Roost Xkaa to near Atlanta,
Ga., embracing a period from Mny C to
July 27. At the former point Johnston
found himself too weak to cope with our
army with any prospect of success, and it
beenme his problem to weaken tlio Union
army by drawing it from its base of oper
ations, and seeking opportunities in tho
meantime to attack and destroy it when
ever occasions presented themselves to
do mi advantageously. Our vast superi
ority in numbers enabled us to divide our
army and turn all his positions without
risk from tiny quarter.
"General Johnston, however, as ho
abandoned his intrenched positions, con
ducted his retreat, in my judgment, in a
prudent and consummate manner, both
in strategy and tactics. All the positions
chosen for making a stand were selected
with tb* utmost sagacity and skill, and
his defences were thrown up and strength
ened with tho exercise of marvelous in
genuity and judgment. This was tho
ca 10 near Dalton, llcsaca, Cassvillc, New
Hope Church, hienesaw Mountain, lVacli-
tree Creek, and other points which Ido
iot now remember. Considering that
Johnston’s army was on tha retreat. I
think it remarkable that wo found no de
serters, no stragglers, no muskets or knap-
sackj, and no material of war. Johnston’s
troops also covered and protected tho
eitisens liviug in tlio vast district in
nliieh we wore operating in carrying off
all their property from before tin. In fact,
it was the cleanest and best-conducted
retreat, a* was remarked by every one,
that we had seen or road of. Wherever
wo went we encountered a formidable
line of battle which all commanders were
inclined to respect; I know that thiswaa
my feeling, and other officers in command
of armies and corps appeared to feel as I
did. Indeed, this retreat was so master
ly that I regard it os a useful lesson for
study for all persons who may hereafter
elect for their calling tha profession of
arms. After having given the subject a
good deal of reflection, I unhesitatingly
itato :u my conviction that this retreat
was the most prominent feature of the
war, and. In my judgment, reflect* tho
highest credit upon its author. TheDowa
that Gen. Johnston had been replaced iu
command of the army opposed to us by
one whom we considered very much his
j inferior in military capacity, was received
by our officers with universal rejoicing,
lllion I That wo were not wrong in our estimate
of his successor was fully proved by sub
sequent events.

Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
J. Hooker, Maj. Gen.’
These statements can be borne out by
every unbiased and impartial and intelli
gent observer, in or behind the retreating
lines of Joe Johnston, at that time. It
was our province, at that time, to become
aoq uainted daily with the progress of that
memorable retrograde movement of tlie
Army of Tennessee, all the incidents con
nected therewith ore vividly fresh to the
memory, and we remember especially how
almost universally it waa regarded the
most masterly retreat in the history of
wars, and how general was the popular
amazement at the order from Richmond
removing Johnston from command when
Atlanta was besieged. Tho correspon
dence between Gen. Johnston and the
late Confederate government, we under
stand, will be published in his forthcom
ing work, and will, no doubt, especially
os regards this movement at Atlanta, lift
the curtain on much that perplexed the
understanding of people, both North and
South, during the progress of the strug
gle.
It was believed by many persons in the
South at the time, that if Johnston had
been permitted to remain in command in julySiSm

Langdale’s Chemical Manure Company,
. (LIMITED.)
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Hae the following Powerful Recommendations for Planters:
It is a gonuino English made Manure, the only one in tho market, and rnanu-
factored by a company having a capital of $1,350,000, which sells 40,000 tons annti-
ally, and has tho most extensive works of tho kind in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 24 years. The Langdale, therefore, luxs a good pedigree and is no
experiment. '
It contains a larger proportion of chemical element.-; suited for the promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of cotton, than any other fertilizer offered in the
South. It is tlie best and safest Cotton Manure in the market.
The analysis given with the Manure when sold will be guaranteed. There shall
be no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of the vendors.
It is tho cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use in
becoming plant-food, or by cbeniical action ou the soil; producing the same. The
test of cheapness is not the price, but the actual worth of the article puivlmsed.
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi
cals, which can alone give worth to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. The
Langdale is us low in price as is consistent with tho use of tlie best ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
Tho employment of powerful, machinery in mixing and pulverizing the ingre
dients prepare* every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. The Lang-
daleis unequalled in this respect, and impresses overy ono who sees it as a perfectly
manipulated Manure.
In its composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific research
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It
will bo maintained at its present high standard, and is thus what planters have
long wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
