As stated, if this General could have

would have held Richmond forever.
In this connection 1 will, in defense
OF Gen. Lee, make known an historical
fact of singular interest. and of which
have but recently been apprised: it is
true the matter was limited about at the
date of the occurrence, but | now. for
the first time, receive the information
from the highest authority.
About the 26th of April, 1874. I met,
in Mobile, the Hon. G. NJ. Conrad, Of
Louisiana. We were each en- route IL
New Orleans and in the freedom ot
friendly conversation we discussed
without restraint the subject of the late
var. Gen. Johnston's book was re-
ferred to- when Mr. Conrad remarked
that Mr.. Mcfarland, of Richmond va.
volunteer aid on the staff Of Gen.
Johnston at the time of his retreat from
Yorktown, had informed him, during
the war, that Gen. Johnston said TO
him (AIr. McFarIand. on the retreat
from Yorktown, that he (Johnston) ex-
pected or intended to give up Rich
mond. Mr.. Mcfarland eXpOStulated and
protested; finally expressed to the Com
manding General the hope that he
would change his mind. l at once OBJ

of that period, and, if no objection ex-

Defect In Division Commanders.

The same defect-want of decision
and elf-reliance-eXhibits itself emf
nently in the lower grades of rank in
an army Among 10 brave division
commanders who, under orders, would
lead their troops anywhere and every
where, seldom will be found one who,
in a position to act upon his own re-
sponsiblity, will attack at favorable
moment, especially when detached and
ordered to the rear of the enemy. If
the inquiry be made of any enterpris-
ing, self-reliant division commander
who has participated in many engage
ments as to how often his request has
been granted when, heavily engaged
with superior numbers, he has called
upon his neighboring division COM
mander twhoSe troops We're lying in
active) TO furnish him the assistance
of a brigade, he will reply that rarely
has succor been afforded. even in the
most critical moment of battle. His
neighbor, albeit man who knows not
fear, was generally unwilling to act and
give the necessary support without or
ders from his superior officer, because
of his over-development of caution and
his deficiency in boldness-the counter
balancing quality.
Again, few men are endowed with
the capacity to execute such moves as

The above is almost verbatim the
statement of Mr.. Conrad to me. in Mo-

character of the late MIR. Mcfarland, a
banker of Richmond, citizen who was
not only beloved and respected in Vir-
ginia, but well known to all the promi-
Dent men of the South as a gentleman
of honor and unimpeachable integrity,
and when we consider the name, the
position, and the career of the Hon.
c. NJ. Conrad, the testimony becomes
irrefutable.
Richmond would have been aban-
doned by Gen. Johnston at the outset
of the struggle had he been afforded

JOhnstOn's Misstatements.
After Gen. Johnston's abandonment
of the mountains of Georgia, his incon-
sistency in maintaining that Atlanta
was position too strong to be carried
by assault must indeed strike with
surprise not only military men, but
civilians of intelligence. From the ear
lest periods of history mountain FAST
nesSeS have proved. by actual test. the
most secure strongholds to every people
determined upon obstinate resistance.
Gen. Lee asserted shortly before the
close of the war that he could continue
the struggle 20 years longer, if hostiii-
ties We're transferred TO the mountain
regions of the Confederacy. Numerous
instances are adducible TO attest the
fact that prOlongation of war is oft
times to be attributed to such protec-
ton from Nature. To cite an example
from a neighboTing island, how long, l
venture to inquire would the Cubans
have held out against the Spanish Gov
ernment if their territory had been de-
void of mountains, and had stretched
forth to the sea in one vast plain like
the country from Atlanta?
But when the Confederate command
er, with 10000 available men, surren-
dered the Thermopyle of the South
without risking a general battle, it is
hardly reasonable TO suppose that he
would have made a final stand upon
the plains of Georgia.
According to the following extract
from an official telegram, even Gen.
Sherman was in doubt as to whether
or not Johnston would fight for Allan
ia:
Headquarters Military Division of
the Mississippi, in the Field, at San
House. Peach Tree Road, five miles N
T. of Buckhead, Ga. July IS, 1864.

Johnston will give up Atlanta without
n fight. but it may be so. Let us de-
Velop the truth.

manding."
One OF JohnstOn's Plans.
My predecessor had evidently another
scheme in reserve. Gen. Forrest was
required, with 5000 cavalry in Tennes-
see, to destroy Sherman's communica-
tions with Nashville-at least, in so far
as to hinder Sherman from receiving
sufficient supplies for the maintenance
OF his army. Gen. Wheelers cavalry
force numbered over 10000, and was
composed of as brave men as those
under the command OF Forrest. If this
force, with the exception of a small
detachment To protect the fianks of the
army, was unable TO break the Federal
line of communications, l cannot con-
ceive in what manner Gen. Forrest was
expected TO accomplish this object with
Only 5000 men-especially when Sher-
man had large force of cavalry at
tached to his own army, as well as
another large body of this arm in Ten
nessee: had erected block houses at
every important bridge and culvert, and
had stationed infantry at fixed points
along the entire line between Nashville |
and Atlanta, forming. it might be said.

Wheeler, to accomplish this important

! am therefore reluctant To believe
that Gen. Johnston possessed any more
definite idea of defending Atlanta than
ae had of defending Dalton, or any 9TH
er position from that point to Atlanta.
He brings forward the presence of his
family in this city, as evidence of his
intention to make a stand, and afiirms
that the intrenchments thrown up. to-
gether with the moving forward Of
heavy artillery, support his testimony.
Unfortunately, in view of his history
IN the past, the evidence is not conclu-
siVe. He threw up various lines of works
during his campaign, and successfully
abandoned them; moreover. whatever
heavy artillery had been ordered TO the
front could, If the necessity had arisen,
have been placed upon cars. and been
removed to the rear. In regard TO the
first plea, ! am unable to discover why
his family could not retreat as well as

Johnston Intended to Abandon Atlanta.
: General who, at New Hope Church.
informed his corps commanders that
he considered Macon, 100 miles beyond
Atlanta, the point to fall back upon,
would hardly have resisted the tempta-
ton to carry out his suggestion, when
to retreat was, with him, if not fixed
principle certainly an inveterate habit
Aside from any other evidence, the
following extract from a letter received
from Gen. NJ. G. Butler now United
States Senator, is sufficient to prove that
Gen. Johnston had no hope or idea of
holding Atlanta.
