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 I profession of arms.

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. "Gen. Hood's career while in command Mis its own story. Oneof the prominent Mtnriinvv nt T. « W historians of the Confederacy ascribesthe iXllOfllLJ S uli 1*11 lY j misfortunes of tho ‘Lost Cause'to tho re lief of Gen. Johnston ; I do not think this, but it certainly contributed mate rially to hasten it) collapse. 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 IVe have a largo ami varied stock of GROCERIES aud LIQUORS in store, vhieh we offer at low prices.

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. THE MODEL MANURE AND PLANTER’S FRIEND.
