The restoration of General Johnston
to military duty has given great satis>
faction to the country. It will impart
still greater satisfaction to the army,
which has the most complete confidence
in his genius for command. The rank
and file are, in general, the best judges
of the competency of their leaders. The
public at large have no such opportunity
Of forming correct opinions Of military
capacity, nor that direct and powerful
interest which keeps the eyes Of the
soldier open and obscrvant. The public
often changes its opinions, and the idol
Of one day is sometimes prOtrated and
trampled upon the next. The army
gives no such evidence of ignorance and
ficklencss. When it once gives leader
its full trust, it does so upon intelligent
grounds, and he retains it to the end.
General Johnston has slways enjoyed,
in IN eminent degree, the con6dsncs and

admiration of military men and Of the
rank and file-those noble fellows who
offer up their lives freely in this contest,
and who only ask that their lives shall
not be uselessly thrown away by incom-
petent leadership. We are not prepared
70 say whether the means left at his dis.
posal by the exhaustion which the army
has suffered since he relinquished COM
mand will enable him to accomplish. all
that the public expect. We do not exact
from him the performance of miracles.
Still, We are sure that all that military
talent and energy can now accomplish
will be forthcoming, and We rejoice that
the Government has placed him where
ne may, in some degree, retrieve the
m;sfortunes Of the past. His name alone
will rally again to the Confederate STAN
dard those vete rans of the South who,
under hfs guidance, would long ago have
interrupted the tr r1umphal march of Sher-
man through an rnresisting land. 1t is
useless to mourn over the past. Let us
all practice liberation for the errors of
each other, and confide in the common
sincerity and patriotism. Of one thing
we entertain m abiding confidence. &C.
neral Johnston, if he is able to rally
around him an adequate force, will assist
General Sherman to discover that a
march like his through the interior of a
great country is no longer to be holi-
day pageant and may terminate in any,
thing but prosperous journey to Rich
mond.
