] do not Know that Gen. Johnston bod ob-
tanned his own consent to abandon Atlanta l,ut
am informed by persons who can hardly he
mistaken, that such was the painful conviction
forced upon the min;! of the President bv his
acts and private dispatches. The President
does not place tho same estimate upon the
abilities Of Johnston that others do but those
who believe or assert that he las withheld from
him the support which he could have given to
him. and would have given t5 5others, do him,
firmly believe, gross and cruel Injustice.
am, as you well know, not a partisan Of fhc
President, but feel bound to defend hin,
against a charge SO foul and monstrous.--
While have not been able to approve Of all
his acts Of administration, must, ncverthc
less. accord to him true patriotism, pure intcn
tlons and great abilities.
Corn in abundance may he had in and
around ar, Montgomery at four dollars per busle.
