We are perhaps better able to ascertain public

read both. We publish not 1.-THE OF what We
learn for we feel no disposition to make public the

whose fury may do much harm to our cause. ana
give the President much modification. President
Davis is an OBJECT of attachment from all classes OF
the people; he enjoys their confidence and has en-.
listed sentiments far kinder than the most exalted
respect. But, nevertheless, there are those with
whom he is not the vorite that he is with the great
mass of the people. To undermine that POPULAR ty ;
to withdraw that respect; to misrepresent his con-
duct; to present him as self willed and stubborn
man, consulting private pque and personal mai'ee'
is the constant effort of active and industrious men.
Gen. Johnston, with an insignificant command In
Mississippi, and Gen. Bragg, retained without me
confidence Of the army in Tennessee are potent ana
powerful examples for the malice and misrcpresonta
ton of these men.
We therefore repeat, that reorganization OF the
army before Chattanooga is absolutely necessary
