frank and soidierlike Gen. Johnston
gave him to understand that further war
on the part of confederate troops was
folly. Tha, the cause was lost, and every
life sacrificed after the surrender Of Lee s
army was the highest possible crime.
Johnston admitted the terms conceded to
Gen Lee were magnarimous and all he
could ask, but wanted some concessions
tina, would allav the natural fears and an
kettles Of his followers and enable him to
maintain his control over them until they
could be got back to their homes. He
also wanted to embrace in some general
proposition the fate of the confederate ar
mics that remained ia existence.

The Red River Expedition.

The Madison Capitol says the repor. Of
the Committee on the Conduct Of the
War on the Red River expe Hilton, one of
the most notable failures Of The war, has
just appeared in print. The report is
signed by Mr.. Gooch only. The repor,
Of the majority Of the committee, which
has also been published, assigned the
cause Of the failure TO the uEmilitary
character Of the expedition, 10 the fact,
that cotton rather than victory wa. its
primary object, and the further fact that
it comprised TOO small plumber Of troop.
to secure both cotton and victory. The
majority lay al the responsibility for the
results upon the shoulders Of Gen Banks,
while the minority (M,. Gooch) believes
that the responsibility should be divided
between General Banks. General Ilalleck,
and General Franklin, aud gives Jy far
the greater par, Of it to the two last-to
General Haleck the responsibility for it's
inception, and to General Franklin, for
failing to give timely CO operation, a large
share of the responsibility Of its failure
This is the essential point Of difference
between the majority and minority reports
of the committee concerning that. disas-
trous expedition.

But between these two the lady could not
decide, so exactly. was their DEVOTION
She had again. consulted the captain
"Take the man that didn't jump-he's
the more sensible fellow, and will make
the best husband"
