Nanoleon,s Great Battles.

A comparison between the results OF some OF Napo'

would seem to establish the fact that the modern inn

FROM MISSISSIPPI.

From letter written by an officer Of Gen. johnstks
army, the Augusta oonstiluionast makes the fellow
extract which gives good idea Of the situation about
yicksburg previous to the fall of tina. place:
wish had some good news to give you. havo
not People away from here expect great deal, and
am satisfied great deal too much from Gen. Johnston.
There IL no room for generashp in this case. Physical
distractions such as Johnston will have TO overcome,
will aue and Cypress the genius OF any man. IRA
has entrepched himself around Vicksburg as strong as
Pemberton has in il. The bills are in many p -
nearly perpendicular with but little room On their op',
and high enough to permit very small party to pre'
vent the OF many en- as can be got 10 ihe
This almost interminAble succession Of steep hills
and deep valleys for miles and miles around Graz
camp has been fortified with all the skill that the devil
ingenuity of these rascal could secure. Toe bills ae
crowned with heavy guns and every gorge is ready
belch forth destruction He has devastated the country
all around him, for 20 to 80 miles, leaving nothing tnkt
could contribute to the support Of army advacciT
on him. and has obsructed all the roads leading
wards him in every possible way for many miles. Yeu
will perceive that it Would be no easy Job for Johnston
to get o him. Besides, Grant has from 10 TO $4,000
el Johnston not half so many. Il am afraid to com
init to paper the strength Of this army Grants con
munications opeD his facilities Tor receiving stores
supplies and reinfJc ments are unbounded, willis John
son has TO work hard to buy every mouthiu his army
eats and then is obliged to haul it many MILESTONE
burg Il farther he must va gon his supplies.
Now with these facts before you work out the PROB
lem. If Grant, with all the men and all the meals he
wants or asks far can't take Pemberton in Vicksburg
with 10 or 10 900 men, how is Johnston with only a.
the men he get, TO destroy or subdue Grant IN
fortified camp equally strong with $4,000 men to de
fAdit? This is the proposition; work il out; put 20
T. D." at the end and send it to me, for wocld hk:

In all this do not undervalue nor und rrate
ments at General Johnston's command, nor his grea
ability His army, II will state entire noas) not as hist
as 10000 fighting men, is composed of the very be
fighting stock the COMMENT and if Johnston ccG',
only get Grant into the field would maui much large
force l they should think the very devil himself has
come from hell" They are al xious to fight and hsv
every confidence in the General and will DO what mel
can do-yet this is not enough TO overcome the i'm

do not write this to discourage you, for know N
more of Gen. Johnstons plans than you do perhaps no
go much. hope that he will be alone, however
and not driven by taunts, and inuendoes, and abus
to sacrifice an army which is confessedly the on

As regards equipments for the field an officer must

condition of soldier, and everything regulated with
that view.
