HEADQUARTERS, CENTREv1LLE, !
November 10, 1861.
7,, H. Ercclleucv the President /:

10 His Erccllency the President:
SRI have had the honor to receive your
letter of the Sd inst, in which you call upon
me "as the Commanding General, and as par
ty to all the conferences held by you on the
2lst and 22d of July to say:
"Whether YOU obstructed the pursuit after
the victory of Manassas:
COR have ever objected to an advance or 9th
or active operations which it was feasible Tor
the army to undertake"
To the first question, reply No. The pur-
suit was Constructed" by the enemy's troops at
Centreville, as have stated in my othclal re-
port. In that report, l have also said why no
advance was made upon the eneiny's capital
(for reasons) as follows:
The apparent freshness Of the United States
troops at Centrevile, which checked our pur-
suit: the strong forces occupying the works
near Georgetown, Arlington and Alexandra
the certainty, too, that Gen. Patterson, If need
ed. would reach Washington with his army OF
more than 10000 sooner than we could; and
the condition and inadequate means OF the ar
nv in ammunition, provision, and transporta-
tion. prevented any serious thoughts of advanc-
ing against the capital.
To the second question 1 reply that 1t has
nercr been feasible for the army to adrGnce far
ther than Il has done-to the line of Fairfax
Court House, with its advanced posts at Up
toms, Munson's and Mason's hills. After a
conference at Fairfax Court House with the
three senior General officers, you announced it
to be impracticable to give this army the
strength which those officers considered neces-
sary to enable it to assume the offensive. Upon
which I drew it back to its present position.
Most respectfully, your obed'nt serv't
(Signed) j. +. JOHNSTON.

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY AND NEGRO
SUFFRAGE.-The New York World expresses
our ideas of liberal and progressive Democra-
cy in the following article;
"In the forward movement of the great DEM
ocratic army, it seems to us that the Democracy
of New York are in the van, and that the pa
triotic Democracy of Kentucky linger in the
extreme rear and refuse to march without
great burden of camp-kettles strung upon
their shouldered muskets or inverted upon the
points of their flag stats. When the fifteenth
amendment was declared adopted, the Democ-
racy of New York at once concluded that the
negro question was, for any effective political
purpose, at an end. Our Democratic Legisla-
ture, then in session, Immediately passed an
Act repeating all the State laws that discrimi-
mated against persons of color; and we carried
the State election which soon followed by an
unprecedented majority. We felt some doubt
whether the Democracy of other States would
Immediately approve our course; but there was
no dissent among ourselves, and we were will
ing to trust to results for our yindication else
where. We have since watched Democratic
movements in other States with much interest
and some solicitude to see how far they were
likely to follow our lead. Except in .Kentuc-
XIV, we have found nothing but encouragement

State Convention, and adopted platform in
which further opposition to negro voting was
silently withdrawn. What is more important
and significant, the Democratic Senators and
Representatives in Congress have recently
held consultation, and issued an address, In
which not a word is said OH the negro question,
and the party is counselled to waste no effort
on dead issues. The great body of the party
is marching up to the position taken by the De-
mocracy of New York, who lead the advance,
with the single exception of Kentucky.
no means means u unanimous as to the expediency Of
re-hptizing themselves as white mans
party and protracting q bootless fight: against
the negro. BY far the ablest Democratic paper
in that State, and one of the ablest in the coun-
try, the Courier,J0arnol, of Louisville, has
sighted policy, which, if the whole party
adopted it, could result in nothing but contin-
ued defeat and disaster"

MR.. DAVIS AND GEN. JoHNsToN-THE FIRST
BATTLE OF MANASSAS.


From the Louisville C0urier-Journah
The Mississippi Clarion has commented upon
the second volume of Alexander II. Stephens
great work, pronouncing as untrue the state
tnent therein made that MIR. Davis was re-
sponsible for the failure of the Confederate
troops to advance after the victory OF Manas-
ses.'' Probably the Vice President OF the Con-
federate States is as good authority as the edi-
Stenhens is true. The Clarion publishes cor
resnondence between Mr.. Davis and General
Johnston. in which the question is asked wheth-
or Davis "prevented Genreal Beauregard from
nnrsninp the enemy after the battle of Manas-
ses. and had subsequently restrained him from
advancing upon Washington City. 10 the nrst
clause of course General Johnston responds
No. To the second clause there IS quallhed
answer, which is not generally understood
With your permission propose to throw lit
Gle light upon this subject, and to give some
information which ought long since to nave
been known. -,
The writer recollects distinctly when MIR;
Davis came upon the battle field. Generat
the enemy, and therefore, after the battle, there
was no prohibition. But before the battle was
fought Mr. Davis and his agents had done
things and left others undone which established
ahe truth of Mr. Stephens assertion, that Mr..
Davis "was responsible" for the failure to reap
any benefits from that victory.
