Besides the 14, 000 at Fort Donelson, he had not more than 10,000 men on his retreat from Bowling Green to Nashville.--He could not be ubiquitous, and could not, with so small a force. protect Nashville against a column of 80,000 troops.

I have not a word or a reflection to make against them; but they did not dream of the enemy attacking Tennessee, and all of Gen. Johnston's efforts and appeals were rendered fruitless by the unfortunate and mistaken confidence which the people had in the ability of our small army to repel a host of invaders.
