JOHNSTON AND BEAUREGARD.
The Manassas correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayune paints the two great Generals thus:
have had the pleasure of seeing General John
ston. He looks like General He is about five
feet eight or nine inches in height, good form, very
erect, handsome face, thick moustache, and beard
somewhat sprinkled with white. His hair is
slightly gray. His organs Of beneyolence and
veneration extremely large and his eye very
full and large. He should talk we'll and speak flu
entity. He has the decided advantage over Gen.
Beauregard as far appearance goes. Of the
the two, at first sight, [ would prefer Johnston.
The difference between the two are, [ imagine
these: Beauregard is strictly military nan, and
looks chiefly at military results Johnston looks
at political as we'll as military results Beauregard
has more cautiousness, and [ think more determn-
alton, that is, Beauregard would never give up,
but would fight even against hope. Johnston, on
the contrary, with his large benevolence, would
look beyond mere resistance and would not sacri-
fee life when there was no hope in fighting. Po-
litica and other considerations would govern him.
But Beauregard would fight on and fight forev-
er. Johnston having less cautiousness, [ think
would make the most daring moves and the most
rash charges, and we all know that in even appa-
rent rashness is often the extreme of prudence
Beauregard would probably be the safest command
er in defence Johnston would create the great
est enthusiasm, and in desperate charge would
succeed best. Both are able generals, and
rights are safe in their hands Either is more
than the equal of any officer in the Federal army.
A NORTHERN Op1N1oN.-Janes Monroe, of
New York, recently wrote letter to some citizens
of New Jersey in relation to the war policy of the
Black Republicans. The following is an extract:
| advocate peace among ourselves, because |
believe that the continuance of civil will soon
lead into with some of the European
Governments, besides which it will almost entirely
tural and financial interests, demoralizng the
people to such extent as finally to lead to
military despoism, the suppression of the Consti-
tuition, and the final destruction of the Union anc
our republican principles. Oceans of blood will
be spilled and hundreds of millions of money
will be spent, without advantage being OBJ
tained. There will spring up between the
Northern and Southern people most inveterate
hatred towards each other, which never be
appeased. That the North cannot conquer the
South by the force of arms, is beyond doubt.
All history teaches US this. Charles the First
would not compromise with his political oppo-
nents but persisted in subduing them by the
force of arms. He lost his head in making the
attempt. George the Third would not COM
promise with traitors, but persisted in subjugating
them by fire and sword. He lost his colonies in
his attempt to do so. The Northern people may
profit by their example, and learn lesson from
their mistortuncs
