 In early life. General Johnston mar ried Miss McLAne of a distinguished Maryland family and a woman of rare brillianey of mind and elegance of man ners They had no children. The office the national capital. and there John son received knowledge of the seces- sion of Virginia. He resigned imme- diately and immediately. with his wife leaving behind him all the property he possessed. He not only came with his sword. but with his heart and mind. He gave much attention to the theories of civil government. believing that soldier should understand the structure of the society in whose de- fense his life was pledged and should know the fundamental principles of the civics. whose laws he must obey. General Johnston in coming to the Con federacy did not hesitate to avow his belief In the justice of the Confeder- ate cause and his confidence In the ability of the people to maintain their This frank declaration of his sympathy greatly endeared him at the outset to the people and to the cltizens soldiers whom he was assigned to command. No man of the world who came in contact with him left him without receiving the distinct mental conclusion that he was by nature a great. man. His figure was over me- dium height erect strong and singu- larly graceful in bearing. His manner was simple and precise as the educated soldier well bred who had lived always in army circles. He was less austere

General Scott promoted him captain for gall lantry in this. his first fight. Captain Johnston went with General Scott's sec ti0n of the army invading Mexico. He was severely wounded at Cerro Gordo and was promoted brevet major for conduct there He was soon promoted brevet lieutenant colonel He was more severely wounded at Chepultepec and was promoted for conduct there Drevet colonel General Scott is said to have remarked later, upon assigning Colonel Johnston to some duty: There Is but one objection to Johnston in ac- fion--he catches too many bullets"
 In President Pierce's administration. Congress re-organized some old cavalry. making the First and Second Dragons, The most ambitious officers of the army were eager to be assigned to these new regiments. Jefferson Davis. Secretary Of War. made the appointments. The First Dragons was commanded by K, ". Sumner, Colonel; Joseph F. Johnston, lieutenant Colonel; George H. Thomas. one of the majors. The Second Ora ney Johnston, Colonel: Robert F. Lee, lieutenant Colonel: W. J, Hardee and Earl Van Dorn, majors. J E. B. Stuart and John B. Hood were lieutenants in one or the other of these regiments. Joseph Wheeler was assigned to the First Dragons as brevet second lieu tenant upon his graduation from West Point in the class of 1859.
 In 1858 President Buchanan selected Colonel A. s. Johnston to command the l perilous expedition across the track less wilderness to Salt Lake, to subdue Brigham Young and his Mormons. Lieutenant Colonel J. F. Johnston ac- companied this expedition in capacity of inspector of the army.
 Soon after the return of this eXpedi-

Colonel J. E. B. Stuart had some cavalry under Johnston and with skill full use of them he utterly, deceived on Washington for re- endorsements. Johnston he said. had an oyerwhelm- ing force. making rapid preparation that Patterson would find Johnston gone to Beauregard before he knew it., and insisted on an immediate advance upon the rebels.
 because the position. from military standpoint. was untenable in itself and because 1t was too far away from Beauregard. In this early experience he learned to appreciate the strategy of concentration by the weaker com blatant to compel the stronger to desist from plan of war he had already started out upon. namely. threatening the Confederacy at so many points along the defensive line that none could be made safe. General Scott thoroughly well understood the true war policy of the North the policy of invasion of the South from many wide ly separated points. The Confederate government never allowed it's generals Scott with the only scientific or possi- ble resistance concentration and coun- ter invasion.
 General Johnston acted with con sDicuous personal gallantry in the bat tie of Manassas. July q. 1861.
 Practically Beauregard commanded the field by Johnston's request. The rout of the enemy was complete. Dr. Hunter Mcguire records that he heard General Stonewall Jackson say to Pres dent Davis, late in the afternoon as the President rode on the field: They ran like sheep. Give me 10000 men, and tomorrow morning ] will have Washington" Jackson seems to have been alone in appreciation of the oppor- tunity. The President. General John ston in command and General Beaure- gard, the victor. have written much in explanation. but the facts do not justify the failure of the Confederates to cross the Potomac immediately If the mil tary advantages of the occasion had been used by the victors and John C. Brckinridge had been sent up in Wash ington as the legally chosen President In the election of 1860, very large part of the North and tfe government of Western Europe might have been expected to accept him in that capac- ity Every electoral vote cast for MT.
