THE BATTLE OF MANNAssAs.
General Johnston's Failure to Follow
UP his victery.

The correspondence between President Da-
the first battle of Manassas, In respect to the
responsibility for the latters failure to follow
up his victory and march upon Washington,
has. Just come to light throagh,t the columns OF
the Mississippi Clarion. Mr. Davis, under date
of November 8, 1861, asked General Johnston
whether he (Mr. Davis "obstructed the pur-
suit OF the enemy after the victory OF Manas-
sas," or seven objected to an advance or other
active operations which it was feasible for the
army to make" General Johnston's reply is
as follows:
To the first question reply no. The pur-
suit was obstructed by the enemy,s troops at
Centrevlle, as I have stated In my official re-
port In that report Ihave alse said why no
advance was made upon the enemy's capital,
for reasons as follows The apparent freshness
OF the United States troops at Centreville,
which checked our pursuit; the strong force
occupying the works near Georgetown, Ar
.ungton and Alexandria; the certainty too that
Washington with his army of more than 30, 600
sooner than we could, and the condition and
inadequate means of the army In ammunition,
provision and transportation, prevented any
serious thoughts OF advancing against the cap
ital.
To the second question I reply that it has
never been feasible for the army to advance
farther than it has done-to the line Of Fairfax
Courthouse, with Its advanced posts at Up
toms, Munson's and Mason's hills. After con-
ference at Fairfax Courthouse with the three
senior general officers you announced it to be
impracticable to give this army the strength
which those officers considered necessary to
enable 1t to assume the offensive. Upon which
drew it back to its present position.

SUPPOSED CHILD SAcRIFIcE.-Great excite
ment exists in New Orleans over the sudden
disappearance of q child whose parents are
named Digby Immense rewards have been
offered, and the Times thus speaks of the case
n2d the horrible suspicious that surround it:
After month of fruitless search, both father
and mother have become so nearly crazed that
kind friends have found 1t necessary to place
them under restraint. The most frlghtful
rumors concerning the child's fate are abroad,
and quite a panic prevails among mothers
who do not know at what moment the Kid
nappers may seek another victim. 1t speaks
loudly against The efficiency of our police,
when, after months opportunity, they pro-
fess to be wanting single clue to the discovery
of the criminals. The time has come when
some concentrated public action must be taken
in the premises. The citizens OF each ward
should organize themselves into searching
committees. and leave no house unexplored,
no hole or corner in the city unexamined,
until either the child itself or its remains are
brought to light The rumor shat 1t has been
sacrificed at voudou orgie Is so horrible that
1t must be either confirmed or dispelled. There
cannot be shadow of doubt upon the mind
of any reasonable man that the police had 1t
within their power to penetrate the mystery,
and that They have not done so Is strangely
mysterious, and calls for public investlga-
ton

Mr.. John Hill writes from San Francisco to
the New York World:
San Francisco and California are progress
ing backward. If you were here, and could
nothing doing, not O house building, nor i'm
provements Of any kind being made, you
would think 1t the dullest city in the world at
this moment. The Bulletin Is ashamed, and
tells the workingmen to 60 in the country and
look for work. have seen men who
have travelled from Upper California to
Southern California with their blankets
on their backs. looking vainly for work.
The country is nearly all dried up; Southern
fallen there for the last fourteen months. Cat
tie and sheep have died In numbers. No wheat
at all in Lower California, and very little in
Upper California. Most Of the wheat crop was
cut when green for hay. There won't be one
hundred weight this year for the ton last year.
There are thousands OF farmers who sowed and
will not have grain of wheat or barley The
mines are played ont with gambling specula-
tors, and on industrious man won't have any
thing to do In them. There is more destitu-
ton In this city and State at this present time,
and has been for the last year, than in any
part of The world. There are thousands of fine
workingmen in this city and State who can't
get days work. They have pawned and sold
their clothes brought from other States, and
have been living on fifteen cents day and
sleeping out in lumber piles and in bushes out
side of The city. Ihave seen them get up In
the morning out of bushes on the outside Of the
city, and they have told me they had not been
in o bed for six weeks. Many expected to
earn enough in the harvest to take them out
OF the State. On account Of the failure in the
crop they can't do It. There is not one man
needed for o hundred seeking for work. have
lived In the East tor thirty years, and never
saw anything to compare with the destitution
of this country. The workingmen designed
getting up petition, signed by twenty thou
sand men, TO Washington, 10 see if the govern
ment would send and help them to get from
here. AS for the land Of the country, it is oil
taken up and held by spectators, so that

East for thirty years, and want TO buy farm
here, but the land Which is worth settling on
is held for twice as much as it is worth. This

A Plea for Union and Reform.
From the Kingstree Star.l

From the klngStree Star.I
A movement, indorsed by many Of the best
and ablest men in the State, has been inaugu-
rated to remedy the mischief. The plan Is for
all the people to unite in electlng competent
men to office. This, as we understand It, IS
the great surrendering Of principle as IN.
terpreted by few politicians and journals
In the State This view to our mind. is
absurd We shall support the cause which
in our Judgment will unloose the grasp
of the Shylocks that are now choking
to death all the honor and honesty
principle OF right and justice. The bare con-
temptation of such state Of things Is enough
to arouse the indignation and energy Of every
honest citizen to action. We can support an
honest, competent man for office whether ne
be g Democrat or not, In preference to one
who has by his conduct forfeited every claim
to decency and honor. We can do this with
out violating those feelings and sentiments
which we have and still maintain. We shall not
lmpugn the motives of our friends and contem.
porarfes who refuse to aid this movement, but
we must be permitted to doubt the wisdom ol
their course in this great and important crisis
