Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston.

A correspondent of the Mobile Register corrccts
the impression that once prevailed, that Gen. A.
D. Johnston, laboring under the sting of unjust
reprocf and denunciation, rashly sacrificed him
self at the battle Of Shiloh. lie says:
This was not so. remember well being with
him one evening at Murfreesboro, after the re-
treat from Nashville, when in tho course of con-
versation urged that no should in justice to
himself make an explanat to the people. "Ah,
my dear friend" he replied, az cannot correspond

the only course to save his little army. IF there

great, magnanimous, and chivalrous Johnston
barred bis head 10 the storm of anathema and de-
nunciation without n murmur of complaint, or
any attempt to shield himself from its fury. In
der these feelings then, and under these circum-
stances, when Oh the battle field of Shiloh he was
ms calm and unperturbed as n summer morning.

was neither desperation, rashness, nor imprudence

Hon. Ben. Woods Speech.

Cora the Chattanooga correspondent. of the
Mobile Adrertiser, says that "of all the speeches
North and West that have been made against tho
Lincoln dynasty, and for peace, that of Hon. Ben.
Wood of New York, is the boldest, the noblest,
and the frankest. He urges peace at all hazards,
and separation and recognition of the Confed.
eracy that there may bo peace. It is the only
speech that has yet been made in which the
Shrek for Union was omitted and ignored. I
knew Ben. Wood when boy. He was born at
Charleston, South Carolina, and always was true
to his birthright His manly course as editor Of
the New York Daily Ne~s, won him great distinc-
ton and celebrity as the bold advocate of the
liberty of tho press and the supporter = ,,onsti-
tutional rights. He was even when boy deep
thinker and great reader; mild, yet brave and
determined; generous and noble hearted. In the
scale Of heightened principle he is far superior to
his brother, Fernando Wood, who stoops to dema.
gogucism."

Small Pox.

One case Of small pox has occurred in
this place-a young man belonging to
the 10Th Tennessee Cavalry, who reached
here few days ago from the neighbor-
hood of Somerset, KY. We understand
the patient has been removed to quarters
beyond the limits of the town and is be-
ing properly cared for. We believe there
is but little danger of the disease spread
ing. But should any of our eighbors feel
nervous about it, let them at once battle
the inner man literally with .Sorghom, for
We are willing to take q Bible oath on a
last years almanac that neither small
pox nor any other malady will approxi-
mate within injecting distance of body
lined and soaked with that delightful
beverage. An eminent scientific man
told us, few days ago, that he had ana
lyzed some of the product" and that
anything mortal that Soryhom would ut
kill was in danger of perpetual life.

The State Elections.

We spent all of last Monday at Deca-
tur, and did not hear the subject OF the
approaching elections alluded to the first
time. The same is true in regard to this,
and some other counties we have visited
lately. So that one of two things is true
either the voters, what few of them
may be at home, are learning to care but
little about such things, or they are un'
accountably Indifferent to the claims OF
the gentlemen who are already announc-
ed. We do not pretend TO decide which
is correct, but shall be pleased to know
that the old system Of electioneering and
stumping is to be abandoned, and here
after men are to be elected to public office
on the grounds of merit and qualifica-
ton.

Salt.

Last summer We advised people to lay
in their supplies Of Salt as early as posi-,
BILE. The advice however was generally
UNDECIDED, and the result the Salt fell
into the hands of Spectators and extor-
TONERS, and not only the most exhorbi-
tant prices were paid for the article in the
fall, but many were unable to obtain a
supply at any price. 1t is said that fools
never learn except in the school of -ex.
perience, and some fools wont even learn
there. We reiterate the advice given
last year. Purchase your supplies as ear
ly as possible, and you will make money
by the operation, besides avoiding good
deal of annoyance and vexation.
