4 CAPTAIN WHO DIDN'T KNOW GEs. JOHNSTON

CAPTAIN WHO DIDN'T KNOW GEN. JoHssroN.-
The Richmond correspondent Of the Charleston
Courier relates the following anecdote of General
Joseph Z. Johnston:
lone of his &vorite officers, indeed messmate
accosted him pleasantly few mornings since. But
the General Scowled muttercd to himself and never
recognised the compliment. The unfortunate man
felt not only sighted but Inundated. He went to
Major Rhet, related what had passed. and grieyous-
~ protested that he knew not how he could have
offended his superior officer. Dinner hour having
come our pining friend was not at the mess "Where

titled and afflicted by the slight which you put upon
him this morning" I" Lie slight him 7" exclaimed
the General. 81 haze not seen him to day." An
explanation ensued the officer was sent for, John
ston apoogized. and peace again restored to the
bosom Of loyal and sensitive soldier. Soon AFTER
however. while pacing IN Of these moods by the
door Of bis residence, an officer, with saddle OH
his back inquired of another his superior in rank,
if he knew where to direct him to u stoemaker.-
There is one," was the waggish answer, pointing
at the same time to Johnston, who was in citizens
clothes. Onward strobe the interrogation until he
reached the latter. He then threw down the sad.
die and looking sternly at the General, with his
hands in his pockets gave the word of command,
That saddle must be ready in one hour. SIR" He
then turned to depart. Hold! " said Johnston
"What did you Observer II said have thatsad-

crous DO you know who Tam?" Yes you are

In another moment. the saddle was picked up, and
the Captain in retreat "Haltp shouted the Gen.
eral "who told you l was-a shoemaker IAN

the saddle and return in an hour preciscly." He

ARNs.-A writer in the Raleigh Rsgister who.
signs himself Foresight" gives the following i-
portant suggestions. We think he is mistaken as
to the number of rifles in this State: =.
"Let those having the authority, appoint men IN
each county in the State to hunt up and purchase
all the rifles that will do for service, and set our
gunsmths throughout the State to altering them 30
enough to make two guns, each two feet long-a
more deadly weapon need not be wanted. There
are some hall dozen gunsniths in this county, and
it Is quite reasonable to suppose that there is not
comfy in the State that cannot furnish at least from
two to four smiths. Or if this process should ap.
pear too SLOW leave few guns with each smith, or
in each county, and take the others to Fayetteville
there to be put in order. | think I am perfectly
safe in saying, that there are 500 good rifles in this
county thak might be converted into 700 500 good
weapons ut trlAins expense to the State and
these guns can be obtained If the State would pur-
chase these guns, and each county in the State
would furnish, On an average, ITS rifles, allowing
for those that would bear being cut in two. We
would soon have at least 10000 Of Us good and eff

Salt! Salt!l

While salt petre is so essential for carrying on
the war, salt is equally SO for the preservation of
the lives Of our people. We have seen but little
notice secenty OF any efforts being made to supply
our people with salt Our implacable enemies, the
Yankees, would if they could, starve US out or de-
stroy for lack of salt, while extortoners in our
midst would do tbesame, by their unsuitable desire
to make money out Of the necessities of the people
Where is salt to be had and at what price? The
State press ought to let the people know where any
can be had. We hear of none for sale here Can
Dr. Worth give the people any reliable grounds to
hope for supply? Better let us know the worst

At time like the present it becomes Of the ut
most importance that the gentleman selected as our

sound judgment the people have entire confidence,
and who would exert himself to repress the fell spi-
rit Of party which already bids fair to be Of great
injury to our glorious cause.
Would it not therefore for the sake Of unity at the

has not been member Of either the Convention or
Legslature-who has not been connected with the
receiving or giving Of those offices, which of late
have caused SO much dissatisfaction and wranging
and who has heretofore received in some way
manifestation of the confidence of tue people?

Salt Petre.

At the request of the authorities here, we very
ceerfuy give place to the article in to days issue,
in relation to the production Of salt petre. 1t is an
essential article to the government in carrying on
the war. Every person who can manufacture one
OR five pounds of it. ought to do so, and sell it to
the government Both the State and Confederate
governments are paying high price for the article
Uur regret is that earlier and stringent efforts
were not made for procuring this essential article
abroad, as well as at home
