BUsHRoD r. JoHNsoN.-It seems, after all,
that it was not Gen Sidney Johnston who
was captured at Fort Donelson, but quite @
different parsonage, and one of small enough
consequence. Bushrod r. johnson is grad.
uate of West Point in the class of 1885, and
q native, we believe, Of Kentucky. He was
Second-L Lieutenant, and afterward First Lieu
tenant In the Third Infantry /; resigned from
the army in lS47, and next year became pro.
fessor of Mathematics at the Western Militia
ry Institute, Georgetown, KY, which post he
filed until last year. When the rebellion
broke out in Kentucky, be raised and CON-
manded an artillery company, known as Com
pany A., Of the First Tennessee artillery, and
has been ia command of it quite recently
Whether the rebels have of late elevated him
to the rank of General" or whether the tele-
graph has given him the title, to console US
for the disappointment at not having caught
Sidney Johnston, is, like the fellow himself, q
thing Of no consequence.
