BEAUREGARD AND JoHNsToN-HoNoR TO WHOM HoNoR IS DUE.-The New Orleans Delta, of the 18th inst, contains the fol- lowing special dispatch from Richmond, making a proper correction relative to the respective parts born in the great battle at Manassas by our generals:
 RICHMOND, July 27.-An erroneous inn pression has been communicated through the telegraph regarding the respective parts borne on the battle field of the 2lst by President Davis, Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Johntson.
 President Davis left Richmond by rail- road early on Sunday morning for Man. assas, in anticipation that there would be a battle, and with the intention of taking general command of the army during the action. But, owing to the detention of the train, he did not arrive until late in the evening, when the battle had been mainly fought, when the reserve of the enemy's army was seized with panic, and.f from front to rear it was giving way before our in- domitable columns.
 He at once put himself at the head of our army, and his presence alone created an enthusiasm that was sufficient to seal the battle with victory, even had it been before doubtful.
 It is not only just to Gen. Beauregard and Gen. Johnston that the facts in this case should be explicitly stated, but it is due to President Davis, who wishes full credit to be given to those generals, that it should be done.
 From the beginning until after the cri- sis of the battle, Gen. Beauregard com manded and executed his own plans, giv- ing his successive orders, and making his several dispositions, promptly and coolly, as the emergency required in the different stages of the engagement. During the whole time he was powerfully and bril- liantly assisted by Johnston. These two generals acted with the best understand ing and with the happiest concert from the commencement. The main prog ramme of the battle, including the mas terly expedients by which the enemy was drawn on from Fairfax to the ground near Manassas, belongs to General Beauregard. On the field of battle he and Johnston were equally conspicuous and remarkable for strategy and gallantry.

G>Confaderate Bonds and Arkansas War Bonds, it appears to me Mir. Editor can at once be made a source of profit, and to build towns and villages in the South. The articles that have been manu- factured in the North will now have to be manu- factured in the South, and these bonds can be made capital for that purpose if we keep them at par, which can easily be done. Let companies be form cd in every town and village, and estab fish loan offices, which are much needed and as fast as these bonds accumulate, let them be loaned to those dis posed to engagein manufacturing. The loan com panies should be principally composed of planters who shall pledge their crops to furnish exchange; this done, these bonds are more valuable than gold, because they are constantly accommodating and employed in adding real wealth to the country.
 Should tfs plan meet the appreciation of the public, propose that the planters in the vicinity of Little Rock leave their names with s. H. Tucker, with the number of bales they willing to pledge to furnish exchange, and as soon as there is twen
 ty let them call meeting and organize Mir. Tucker can give notice when there is a sufficient number. SOUTHERNER.

TIE GREAT GENERAL.-The greates st General of the age, the masterspirit of the Virginia campaign, is Gen. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, who led the Southern army to victory on the bloody plains of Manassas. He is undoubtedly the best strategist in the field and the coolest commancr in action. In this-his first campaign for Southern h. dependPnce-he out managed Gen. Scott, held Gen. Patterson continually in check, fully controlled his own rough army of volun- teers, and utterly routed the grand army under Gen. Mcdowell. Who could do more? The following, in reference to Gen: Johnston, is from the Richmond Dis patch, which renders to whom honor is due:
 The sequal shows that ten thousand of his command arrived in time to take leading and decisive part in the great action of the 2lst; the last half of this force, un- der Gen. Kirby Smith, reaching the field only at the last hour, but yet in nick of time to turn the tide of battle and give the final coup Ge grace to the enemy The concen tration of the flower of his troops for the grand demonstration against Beauregard's left wing, and the ordering down of Pat terson, with his fine batteries for that de- ci8ive blow, was 8 master conception of Scott. But his strategy was distinctly read, at every movement, by Johnston, and was bafiled and defeated in the mo- ment he was excepting its triumphant suc- cess.-Never were the masterly conceptions of a consummate General more completely anticipated and brought to naught than were those of Gen. Scott by one of his once most favorite pupils We believe that Gen. Beauregard would have managed by genius and bravery to have maintained his position, even if Johnston had not had sa- gacity to come to his support; but this is certain. .thas all the movements of Johnston, from the abandonment of Harper's Ferry to the mighty events of the 2lst stamp him as a master of strategy, that, highest department of Generalship

Being unacquainted with the country, the men got lost during the retreat, and wandered about until Fri day morning, when they arrived at Falls Church, entirely exhausted The fact be- coming known to our scouts, message was dispatched to Manassas, and detach- ment was soon on the way. The result was the capture of the entire body, with all their arms. The prisoners were expect ed in Richmond on the evening of the 29th.

 A pretty sight for President
 While this once free and happy country is in the very agonies of death, the author of all the misery is reveling with wine and and the lips of pretty women! Nor is this all While the people-the poor people of the North who are starving for bread are to be taxed-while we see starvation on one hand-we see such passage as the following from the New York Tribune.
 The country will be made happy by knowing that the two barges for the Pres ident and Cabinet, of which we spoke day or two since, are in process of early solution. The white and the blues paints are being compounded by an accomplished artist, and the upholsterer's damask will be delicately and daintily adjusted We bespeal1 for the regatta favouring gales and halcyon seas.
