SKETCHES OF JOHNSTON AND BEArREGARp-
A correspondent records his impressions Of
Johnston and Beauregard as follows:
have had the pleasure OF seeing Gen John
ston. He looks like a general He Is about
i've feet eight or nine inches in height good
form, very erect. handsome face. thick NOUS
tache. and beard somewhat sprinkIcd with white
His hair is slightly gray. His organs of benev-
olence AID veneraion are extremely large. and
his eye very full aud large. He should talk
well and speak fuenily. He has the decided
advantage over Gen. Beauregard as tar az sp-
pearance goes. of The two at first sight
would prefer Gen. Johnston. The difference
between the two are. ina CINE. these: Beaure-
gard i merely military man, and looks chiefly
at military results. Johnston looks at political
n well as military results. Beauregard hrs
post caiiousness, and, think, most determine
ton that is. Beauregard would never give up
but would fight even against hope Johnston.
on the contrary, with his large beneyoience
would look beyond mere resistance and would
not sacrifice life where there was no hope iD
lighting. Politically the other considerations
would govern him. But Beauregard would
SIGHT no and fight forever. Johnston having
less cautiousness. think would make the most
daring moves and the most rash charges, and
we all know that in even apparent rashness is
often the extreme OF prudence. Beauregard
would probably be the safest commander in de-
fence. Johnston would create the greatest en-
thusiasm. and in desperate charge would sue
coed best.

ment the other day. Our troops were engaged
in brisk skirmish with the rebels at Lewius-

arms. anticipating an order 10 march. The
regiment among whom the money was being
distributed turned their backs upon the Pay
master and his treasure. as II il were a matter
Of no account. One man was signing receipt
for his yellow heap, then lying on the table; be
dropped his pen and rushed FOR the camp. leav-
ing pen, paper and gold to take care OF them
selves. Another hastily shouted. ''hold on 70
mine till Tomorrow" and darted from tine tent
The Paymaster vas left alone with the gold
with time to contemplate the curious incidents

WHERE DOES THE SoUTH GET ITS PowpER?-
The Troy Wig throws out the following sug.
gestiOns as to the source from whence the rebels
get their powder: "In conversation the other
day With leading powder manufacturer of this
vicinity, We asked him whore he supposed the
rebels obtained their powder: He said he had
no doubt they had been farushed with large
quantities from the North, and that it had
reached them through Kentucky. He said that
there were no powder mills in the southern
States to his knowledge; that he had heard of
there being mill in Virginia, but he had never
yet found a powder man or powder user who
knew that such was the fact"
Kentucky will probably soon give them
"smelp at powder in a difft rent fashion from
what she has hitherto done.

UNION FEELING AT TIE SoUru.-Tbe CORES.
pendent of the n. Y. Evening Post, writing
from Washington under date of the 18th inst.
SAYS: 1.-THE authorities here are constantly in
receipt Of letters from wealthy and distinguished
men in the South, who assure them that As soon
IS the United States troops appear in sufficient
force to give them adequate protection they will
break ground and rise in support Of the Uuion.
At present they have no arms, no private inter.
course with each other, no nucleus. The reign
OF terror is supreme, and they are afraid even
OF assassination. This is the terror Of numerous
letters from Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, North
Carolina, Alabama and Georgia The materials
for decided reaction are ready. and a real ma
)orisy OF the people South are signing for re.
turn Of the happy days of the Republic"

GosE OvKR,-Breckinridge has at last gone
over openly to the enemy. 1t would no doubt
have Afforded him great pleasure to have jagged
Kentucky, and taken her along, but the jug re-
fused 70 follow the cork, and so he has sailed out
on his own hook. IL was great pity he had
not been put in durance vile long ago. That ne
Vas traitor, none have doubted for long time,
and he Was only the more dangerous on account
Of the secresy with which he has cloaked his
treason. That Kentucky is to day 10y al State il.
not his fault, and We trust she has already grown
the hemp that will be used to stretch his neck
During the last campaign he sOlemnly avowed
his loyalty to the Constitution and the Union,
while st the same time there is no doubt the
despicable villain was stepped in treason to his
eyes. His name will be placed on the roll Of
infamy side by side with Catalina and Benedict
Arnold, though unlike them, he has suffered no
grievance at the hand OF his countrymen, and
has been spoiled by favors far too generously be-
slowed.
