Gen. Johnston's army.

--The following is an extract from a private letter of Gen. Joe Johnston to a friend in Atlanta:

I find the troops in general comfortably clothed. A few hundred, however, are without blankets, and as many without shoes. I fear that the Quartermaster's Department will not be able to furnish the blankets soon, but we are receiving and expecting regular supplies of shoes. Two benevolent ladies of Columbus--Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Law — brought us one hundred and fifty blankets a few days ago, collected by them at that place.--Might not the same thing be done in and about Atlanta?
