upon bis successful, though arduous, journey
from San francisco to Richmond, a distance Of
upwards OF 1900 miles.
HIS arrival at tbis i~uGcture will be hailed
with general qualification, and will inspire re-
neWed confidence in the triumph Of our arms.
Il is not yet known to which department Gen.
Johnston viii be assigned, but earnest homes
are expressed in military circles that be
should be placed in command Of our forces in
Missouri, an important field Of action, and one
fully worthy Of his genius and his fame.
The general, who is a man of imposing
presence, being fully six feet in hight, and
spisndi1iy proportional, is in ROBUST health
and seems to have been entirely unaffected by
the fatigues Of his lengthy journey, and ex-
presses himself as eagerly anxious to enter at
once into active duty, andin any field to which
be nav be called by the public service. It
was the intention Of q number Of spirited cit
izsas TO compliment Gen, Johnston with a
serena9e last night.

q The Sage Of Monticello, published at
Monticello, Arkansas, says that cotton in
that vicinity, in consequence of the recent
heavy rains, has taken a second growth, and
will be considerably damaged. Fodder has
also been much damsged-in many instances
completely destroyed.
The same paper chronicles the following
fact, which shows that there is one kind Of
crop, at least, in our sister State, which can
not be affected by the heavy rains:
A gentleman just returned form Columbia
county, informs US that in one neigbborhood q
that county, th,Tty-ttUO tWin children have been
born since January Of this year-thirty-one
If whom were boysl These were all born
under the care Of one midwife, and were " do
ing Wells when our informant left. Instead
of The Canary Of Cape Verde Islands usually
recommended to anxious husbands, we would
suggest this locality, as being altogether more
convenient and accessible.

From a file Of ~asolition papers received on
yesterday, we see that the Yankees are still
huzzaing and beating their timbreIs in exulta-
ton over the " brilliant victory" as they call
it, at Hatteras. Naturally disposed 10 be
arrogant boosters, they are indulging them
selves to their hearts, content in that species Of
harmless amusement for which they are already
so aotorious-the game OF brag. Being the
first success that has crowned their efforts
since the Rich Mountain afsir-when they
managed to defeat Eve thousand southerneTs
with a force Of four times that number-it
seems to be hailed by then with every nantes
tatton Of delight thas we might have expected
from them had they ~triumpbed at Manassas,
and completed that march " on to Richmond"
BENNETT, Of the New York Herald, is com
pletely carried away 10 transport of joy, and
evidently imaginss that the rebels will be so
frightened by BUTLER's ioray as not to recover
themselves during the war. The blow struck

conseipated bowels of compassion, and moved
by his psnt up feelings Of affection for the
rebels, be puts the whining query, "why have
they brought all this upon themselves %
The Yankees evidently labor under the very
pleasing ha~IlucInation that one of the largest
battles has been fought ever witnessed on the
continent, in which they were victorious in
every possible aspect Of the matter. T0eir
journals are succeeding very efectualiy in
proving that the two sand batteries captured On
the North Carolina coast, were far better fer
tifcatIons than either Sumter, Pickens or Mon

willbring the poor rebels on their knees suing

e Hon. Henry NJ. Watterson, recently re-
turned from Washington, made q speech on
Monday last at McMinDville. The New Era
says: "He reminded bis hearers Of bis former
S%evotion to the Union, and informed them that
what be bad seen at Washington had thor.
oughly disgusted and weaned him from bis de-
votion TO the ''staTs and stripes" He said if
we had 10 other cause, the imbeciiity and
wholesale Tsscality Of the government at
Washington, was sufficient to justify a disrup-
ton of the old Union. He represents a CON-
plete reign Of terror at the old Federal capital,
and expresses the conviction that a more des-
potic and tyrannical government cannot be
found than the one which acknowledges Abra-
ham Lincoln as its ruler. In justice to Col.
Watterson, we wish Our people could have
heard hin on the occasion. We are gratifed
to find him so southern in bis feelings, and ex-
pressing such confidence in the ability Of the
people Of the South to establish and maintain
their Independence over the powers that b. at
Washington. Although a long way Tast mus
ter roll, the Colonel expressed himself ready,
whenever the country demanded the services of
the sble-bodied men Of his age, to shoulder lis
musket and march to the defense Of his native
South"

We learn from several gentlemen that there
was heavy firing up the river on Wednesday.
Our last informant distinctly saw and heard
the smoke Of the guns and the sound OF the
discharges between 9 and II O'Clock in the di-
rection of Evans Port, as well as the two
large Federal ships which were evidently en-
gaging land batteries, or else firing on defense

took place in the evening our informant can

He was not seen again, and it is thought that
