HON. REvERDY JOHNSON.

From report Of the proceedings at the public
dinner given to Gems. Qutman and Shields, by the
citizens of Washington, contained in the Intelli-
gencer we learn that the Hon. Reverdy johnson
made the following remarks:
''Mr. President, differences Of opinion have ex-
listed, and still exist, among some of the best men
of the land, TO the necessity and stiabe origin
of the present war. | entertain no doubt about Ell
Their, (great cheerng) and thank my God that |
live among people who, if desired to entertain
it, would not suffer me to DO here as their repre-
sentative"
The inference from this is, that MIR johnson en-
teItains no doubt that the war was necessary and
its origin justfable, and that the Wings of Mary.
land agree with him in the sentiment. If this is
the proper understanding of his remarks, we deny
the fact, a1d proclaim it Misrepresentation of the
sentiments Of the Wings Of Maryland. Tried by
such test, MIR. Johnson would be forced to resign
his seat TO morrow Cumberland (.Ud) Ciuilia,s.

The diflictties between General Scott and some

General, that or many years Gen. Scott and my
