Northern ices if this paper fall into their hands, and
they viii! take the trouble to peruse it.
General Joe Johnston receiving his friends at the
Lamar House on Sunday. He was surrounded with
many gallant officers who had called to pay their re-
spects and conversation at food tide when there
came smart rap at the door. An officer, shuirg with
