eENERAL JOSEPH L. JOHNSTON
the Fabius Maximus of the South, is oeca-
sionally to be seen. Although not success
ful in the policy that saved Rome from
Hannibal, he is regarded as second olly
to Lee. His constant retresting before
Sherman has been much criticised, and in
his recent work he defends himself by say
ing he was about to fight decisive battle
before Atlanta. when he was relieved
by Gen. Hood, with the result well known
to history. One would expect to see in Gen.
Johnston a sedate and diguitied gentleman,
OF thoughtful and studious rather than a
military air. On the contrary, though dignl-
lied, he is crisp, bright and active in his tout
ensemble-the last man in the world one
would expect to retreat. Though small in
person, he is we'll proportioned, straight and
graceful, aud looks every inch soldier and
a gentleman. His eve is OF a keen gray, and
by TAR the most expressive feature OF his face
In dress he is neat and tasteful. generally
wearing black, with stiff light colOred hat.
Gen. Johnston is not an irreconcilabte, but
has accepted the situation, and is anxious to-
sea -tbe sections once more united in faith
and feeling. Gen. Toombs, the irreplessible,
is also here, and often the centre OF eonver-
sstional groups. It seems strange that one
of his genial disposition shonld still be
bitter, but such is the fact. He does not
vet know that Lee has surrendered
Personally he is popular, and all admit his
ability, but bis sentiments ind responsive
echo in the hearts of few. Heis aoout six
feet or more in height and rather stout. His
complexion is swarthv, his hair and a TUT
of beard under his chin are of an iron grsy
color. His features are,large, but not strik-
ing, and his general appearances is that OF
planter rather than statesman. He does
not look dyspeptic, and it is q mystery from
whence be gets his bile. He is. an advocate
of the Micawber currency, and don't care n
continental whether the national debt is
ever paid or not. He forgets that the South
has an interest in the question. Both
Toombs and Johnston seem in perfect health.
Among the
oTHER PROMINENT MEN
are Senator Randolph, OF New Jersey,
large and fine looking gentleman. of the
English type, with Burnside whiskers. Gen.
Alexander II. II. Stuart, Of Virginia, for
merly member of Congress during Tyler's
administration, and Secretary Of the Interior
under Fillmore. Gen. Gusts Lee. and
Senator Caperton, of West Virginia. who is,
| by the bye, an ardent indatlonisE.
Randolph is of course, hard money man.
| and he has been endeavoring to inculcate
his doctrine into General Toinbs. but all in
vain. General.Stuart relates this little rem
iniscence of other days. When in the
House he drafted a bill for DsDk of the
| United States after the plan OF the famous
| old bank that Jackson demolished, and SUBJ
| mitted it to President Tyler. Tyler sD-
proved its general features, made some an
notations upon it and suggested the name
of "Fiscal Corporation" some odium
attached to the name of "Bank of the United
States" This bill was passed, but strange
to say, vetoed by the president. Stuart
still adheres to bis original opinion and ia
vors bank of this character as substitute
| for the present system. The great case OF
| Mccullough va. Maryland decided that the
Bank of the United States was consti:u-
tional so the constitutional question
| involved may be considered as settled.
A bombshell has been thrown into the
ranks OF the democracy OF North Ca Molina.
Some time ago the democratic legislature
called q constitutional convention for the
purpose of changing the carpet bag con-
stitution. that has cursed the state for so
long. An election for delegates has just
been held and the Radicals have elected q
majority. This was bitter disappointment,
and the result will be, as the democrats
admit, the redistricting of the state, so
| to give the radicals msiority in con-
gress, the loss of the state in the election
for president, and a return 10. negro and
carpet bag rule.
