paints the two great generals thus:

ston. The differences between the two are,
! imagine, these: Beauregard is strictly
a military man, and looks chiefly at mil
ilary results Johnston looks at political as
well as military Iesuts. Beauregard has
n:ost cautousncss, and, think, most determi-
naton-that is, Beauresard would never give
up, but would fight even against hopo john.
sion, on the contrary, with his large benuvo'
lrnce, would look beyond mere resistance, and
would not sacrifice life when there was no hope

fight On. and fight forever Johnston having

We all know that in even apparent rashness is
often lhc extreme OF prudence. Beauresard
would probuhly be the safest commander in
defence. Johnston would create the greatest
enthusiasm, and in desperate charge would
succeed best Both arc able Generals and our
rights arc safe in their hands. Either is more
than the equal Of any officer in the Federal
army.
