FARay1LLE, PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY, yA,}
n. February IL, 1878.

Editors Ric3lfn0TlQ UiSpGtCR:
Dear Sirs,-I am gratified to learn that
General Joseph E. Johnston, in response to
n petition signed by leading citizens OF
Richmond, has consented to let his name
appear before nominating convention as
candidate for Congress.
AS Confederate soldier during the war
it was my fortune to follow him in all OF his
campaigns in the Army Of the Tennessee.
and j can safely assert that no man stood
higher in the estimation OF both officers and
men than did this gallant chieftain. i shall
never forget the tears OF regret when (for
reasons unknown to but few at that time)
he was supplanted by General Hood, and
how the remnants Of his shattered brigades
and War-worn veterans hailed with delight
his. presence when he was rcinstated to his
command, Just previous to one or two OF
tile last battles OF the war. / remember,
during the armistice in North Carolina,
and pending the decision Of the Federal
authorities il regard to the terms OF the
surrender, that, near Greensboro, con-
yersed with General breckenridge formerly
my old brigade commander on the subject
OF the terms that were first made by Gene
rails Johnston and Sherman, and he re-
marked that g whilst they (the terms of ca
pituiatien} were worthy OF statesman and
patriot, yet he had no idea that the Federals
would agree to them" Generals Lee, and
jackson, and Albert Sidney Johnston, and
Bragg, and Stewart, and Forrest, and
Semmes, mis- lamented peers, have all passed
away; and feel that it is but a Just tribute
OF respect to his indexible integrity, his
purity Of life, and his updauntless courage,
that his district should nominate him by
reclamation. 90
The fortunes Of the war have disfran-
chised me, and I have NO voice nor vote
now, but il my feeble pen can be OF any
service to him it VIII be freely and cheer
fully given. Yours truly, r. r. S.
