have had the pleasure Of seeing General Johnston He

sight would prefer General 8oLaston. The difference
between between the two are imagine these: Beau
regard Is merely military man, and looks chiefly at
military results. Johnston looks at political well as
military results Beanrecard has most cautousncss and
think most determination; that Is, 3eauregard would
never give up, but would nght even against hope.
Johnston on the contrary with his large benevolcnce
would look beyond Nor resistance and would not sacr

the other c. nsrcratons would govern him. But Bcaure

less cartiousness, think would make the most daring
