Gently published in the columns OF the Missis
sppi Clarion -
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Sd, 1861.
Gcn. a. T.. Johnston :-c0nlmanding depart
naent Of the Potomac -
SIR Reports have been and are bel ne
widely circulated to the effect that prevent eC
Gen. Beauragard from pursuing the enem )
after the battle of Manassas. and subsequently
restrained him from advancing upon Washing
ton City. Though such statements may have
been made merely for nv injury, and in that
view their notice might be postponed to q
more convenient season, they have acquired
importance from the fact that they served to
create dstrust, to exotic disappointment, and
must cmbarrass the administration 10 its tur
Their efforts to reinforce the armies OF the 20
tomsc, and generally to provide for the public
defence.
For these public considerations, call upon
you as the Commanding General, and as a
party to all the conferences held by me on the
olst and 22d Of July, to say whether | obstruc
ted the pursuit Of the enemy after the victory
at Manassas, or have ever objected to an
advarc, or other active operations which it
was feasible for the army TO undertake Very
respectfully. yours. &c. JEFFERSON DAVIS.
HEAD QUAR's. CENTREvlLLE,
November TO- 1861.
10 His Erccllcncy the President -
SIR:-I have had the honor to receive your
letter Of the Sd inst, in which you call upon
me, las the Commanding General, and as a
party to all the conferences held by you on tho
DIST and 22d of July, TO say
"Whethcr you objected the pursuit after
the victory of Manassas.
'Or have ever objected to an advance or
other active operations which it was feasible
for the army to undertake.
10 the first question, | reply, no. The
pursuit was "obstructcd' by the enemy s
troops at Centrevie, as have stated in my
official report. In that report, | have also
said why no advance was made upon the
euemy's capital (ior reasons) as follows -
The apparent freshness of the u. S. troops
at Centrcvlle, which checked our pursuit; the
strong force occupying the works near George.
town, Arlington and Alexandria the certainty,
too, that General Patterson, it needed, would
reach Washington With his army of more than
$4,000 sooner than We could and the condi-
ton and inadequate means OF the army in ammu
milton, provision, and transportation, prevented
any serious thoughts of advancing against the
Capital.
10 the second question, reply, that it has
never been feasible for the army to advance
further than it has done-to the line OF Fairfax
G. H., with its advanced posts at Upton 8,
Munsou's, and Masons hills. After confer.
ence at Fairfax Z. H., with the three senior
General officers, you announced it to be i'm
practicable to give this army the strength
which those officers considered necessary to
enable ito assume the offensive. Upon which,
I drew it back to it's present position. Most
respectfully, your obedent servant,
(Signed) J. +. JOHNSTON.
