Johnston's courier, conveying dispatches to you previous to the battle of Baker's Creek or Champion Hills, betrayed his dispatches to General Grant, and also your answers to General Johnston's orders, so that, in fact, General Grant had the most precise information as to your movements and those of General Johnston. I do not know positively from General Grant these facts, but the matter was spoken of by the officers of our armyrant, and also your answers to General Johnston's orders, so that, in fact, General Grant had the most precise information as to your movements and those of General Johnston.

ociation for the preservation of Virginia Antiquities. (Reproduced by courtesy of the Richmond Dispatch） The handsome etchings of Generals Lee, Jackson, and Johnston, which adorned the walls of the main hallway, were presented to the Confederate Memorial Literary Society by Mr. Charles Barmore, of New York, who was at the Muse-fields of Virginia, but has never been reclaimed. The ladies in charge of the restaurant, and the officers and members of the Society generally, sent to Mrs. J. Johnston, who lives at the northeast corner of Clay and Twelfth sts., a bowl of punch and some beautiful flowers as a testimonial of their appreciation of a remarkable act of kindness on the part of that lady. Mrs. Johnston is a northern woman, and her father and two of her brothers were killed in the Union army. Nevertheless she turned over all of her dishes, her range, her dining-room furniture, and, in fact, her entire house, furnishing coal and light free of cost, to the ladies of the Soc

of consternation, and loudly complained of so onerous a protection. This system, however, had enabled Hindman to assemble forty or fifty thousand men under his banners; these troops were well provisioned, but destitute of arms, the Federal gun-boats having seized on the Mississippi a large cargo intended for them. They were of no use in Arkansas, where not a Federal soldier could be found, and too numerous to be organized into a single army in those regions, so poor in subsistence. General J. Johnston, who had just been placed in command of the armies of the West, added his earnest solicitations to those of General Randolph, Secretary of War, to induce Mr. Davis to issue a formal order, directing Hindman to send twenty thousand men to the other side of the Mississippi to strengthen the army of Pemberton. This timely reinforcement might have changed the whole course of the war in the West; for, by preventing Bragg from weakening himself for the benefit of the army of the Mississipp
