Carr LAckEY.-We understand, from pri-
waite sources, that Capt Robert X. Lackey,
captain of the first company raised in tins
county, becoming Disguised with the clan
ishness Of Col. Macarthur and his tayorltes,
and tired Of the annoyances he was subjected
to by the Scotch crew" has resigned. 1t
has seemed to be the object Of this man Me.
Arthur, from the organization OF the regl-
ment to belittle and Cypress and annoy every
officer who did not hail from Chicago. 1t was
through such means that Major Williams was
cheated out Of n reelection. And IL IS
through such means that every man who does
not hail from Chicago, or is not a lckspittle
for the Chicago clique, is deprived Of promo
ton, while fanny promotions are to be made
in the regiment, some Chicago mar, or some
supple tool of the Chicago clique, is sought
ont for the place.
And now, since Capt Lackey, in his indie
pendence, refused any longer to endure the
annoyances OF the Chicago clique, and has
resigned, we understand that this man Me-
4rthar is uStag his Efforts TO induce our con-.
pa,.y to accept Of one Of his Chicago too's
(perhaps one Of his relatiyes) for captain -
Could impudence and unfairness 20 farther
than this?
We hope our boys will insist upon their
right to choose their own captain, and that
they will refuse to be commanded by any
other than one Of their own men. 1t is their
right to choose their own offcers-a right
which the colonel cannot deprive them Of
They took Capt Lackey from the ranks and
made him captain, and they have never re.
rretted the act. They loved him AS a man /;
they respected him as an officer and they
regret that he feels that he cannot, consistent
with his own self respect, continue to be
their com nandcr. They are arranging to
show their appreciation OF him by presenting
/ him with an elegant gold watch and chain.
Again We say to our boys III the Eth,
maintain your rights, firmly, respectfully,
but decidedly. Your selfrespect and indie
pendence is as dear to you as to any one
above you. Obey your superior officers with
alacrity in all their legal and proper orders,
but. elect your own officers. and submit
to no dictatian or intormoid'ing from any
one

THE REASONS WHY GENERAL 10. JOHNSTON

nails Of Virginia, 10 quiet public opinion on
the subject, says that the reasons why General
10. Johnston abandoned Manassas are that
his army, instead Of being strengthened, had
been for several months melting away; and
that, as IL was, he bad completely eaten out the
country around him within convenient distance
Of transportation. This ought to be satisfac-

abandoned by this evacuation to the tender
rnercies of "the Yankees for this explanation

TIE MERRINAc. c.--Some Of our contemporaries
are exceedingly uneasy in reference to tho mon
.ter ron-clad rebel ram, the Merrimac, and are
very free with their testimony, going to show
that Secretary Welles, though good provider
for his own household is not to be trusted az
the guardian Of Hampton Roads. We are in
clned TO believe, however, that President Lin
coin and Secretary Stanton have come to the
assistance Of our venerable Rip Van Winkle Of
the Navy Department, and that he has not been
permitted to sleep more than twelve hours in
the day since the escape Of the Nashville from
Beaufort. We suspect, too, that the immense
transport feet of General McClollan's army, re-
Gently within an hour or two from Norfolk by
water, offered such visible and powerful in
ducements for the Merrimac to come out and
"run a muck" among those transports that she
would have come out had she not been afraid
of something in the way.

GENERAL Yesterday, in giving Al
account of our generals who had part in the
great and glorious victory at Pittsburg Land
ing, a sketch Of General Halleck was given.
as if he was in command of the troops. This
is, OF course, incorrect. Had the battle been
delayed for two or three days longer it Is pro-
bable he would have been on the field. But, -
it happened. the troops were first led by Grant.
whs held his ground like en- Ajax, and he was
subsequently assisted by Buell., whose timely
achievements saved the army. For these
combinations General Halleok deserves credit
as tho General of the Department of the Mis-
sissippi, who has the direction of all the mill.
tary movements therein.
