he could make a united attack along his (Lee's) entire line from Richmond to his right flank in Dinwiddie county and yet have a sufficient force to turn his flank and attack his rear. These considerations made one of two things imperative—either to have reinforcements or retire with his army from the State of Virginia and surrender the Confederate capital. How matters stood. As to reinforcements the Secretary explained that the transMis-sissippi troops refused to leave their State. Louisiana was in possession of the enemy and no aid could be expected from that quarter, and Governor Brown, of Georgia, was raising trouble about having Georgia troops leave the State while it was invaded by the enemy, to say nothing of the desertions from General Joe Johnston's army while retreating before Sherman's victorious march to the sea. When General Johnston was told this by me, said Dr. Pendleton, who was in the city several days last week, he declared that the statement of his men de

no home, but pays thirty thousand dollars a year to disabled Confederates who have resided in the State fifteen years. Mississippi is without a home, but has made liberal provisions for indigent and disabled Confederates. Missouri pays no pensions, but a movement is on foot to raise one hundred thousand dollars to endow a home without State aid. Maryland has a home costing forty thousand dollars near Baltimore, aided by the State to the extent of ten thousand dollars annually. Louisiana has a home near New Orleans, and the State grants it ten thousand dollars a year. North Carolina not only pays pensions, but has appropriated forty-one thousand dollars for a home. South Carolina pays about fifty thousand dollars in pensions, but has no home. Texas has a home established by subscription. It costs thirty-five hundred dollars a year, and State aid is expected shortly. Tennessee has established a home at the old home of Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage, the State ha

recurring bitterness, snatched from him on the day the prizes were bestowed. We feel as if we were witnessing less the encounter of man with human circumstance, than the supernatural warfare of a Titan whose fight is with the skies. Johnston reported for duty on the 12th of November, and on the 24th, received orders of that date, assigning him to the command of the Department of the West; a geographical department, including the States of Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and parts of Louisiana, Georgia and North Carolina. Had the reality of this command been delivered to Johnston, it would have been the very arena for the employment of his large gifts. The vision which is competent to survey and manage the whole landscape of war, and direct the grand movements and general arrangements of campaigns is known as strategy. Of this great faculty Johnston was the master. The world's mad game is not played blind fold. The genius of war, like other genius, is not the mere gift of

ing disaster on every portion of the country. And if you will have it thus we will invoke the God of our fathers, who delivered them from the power of the British lion, to protect us from the ravages of the bear. And thus, putting our trust in God and in our firm, hearts and strong arms, we will vindicate the right as best we may. These were the words of a warm heart and of manly vigor. In the following order the States seceded: South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee; whilst Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri remained divided. Jefferson Davis, with enthusiastic unanimity, was elected president, and first Montgomery and then Richmond was chosen as the capital of the Confederacy. The chances of victory were slight. When a colonel, says Daniel, once was about to demonstrate to General Lee in what an advantageous position the Confederate army was, the latter said: Put your pencil back at once into
