Close quarters. Everything seems to indicate the approach of a great battle between the forces of McClellan and our own, under General Johnston. We have the utmost confidence in the skill and ability of our General. We are well aware that he knows what is best to do, and that he will be sure to do whatever is best. We hope he will be left free and untrammeled, to carry out his own views, and to make his own campaign in his own way.--Far be from us the unpardonable presumption of even hinting what ought to be done, in a case where is so completely understands the subject, and we know so little of it.

Our army may well have confidence in such officers — men who, by their competency, efficiency, and fidelity, redeem the disgrace brought on us by others of a different character.

The Houston Telegraph, of the 18th ultimo, says: We are glad to see that the suggestion of providing a home and competence for the family of Gen. A. S. Johnston, in Texas, meets with the favor of our citizens. Messrs. Ballinger and House, whose names we suggested as the canvassing committee, report to us the following as the result of two hours work in this city: These subscriptions amount tstock, or in lands. We hope, from this beginning, to see it roll up to a goodly sum, a present worthy of the people of a State that has been honored with the citizenship, and is to be honored as the resting place of so noble a hero as Gen.
