time previous to the removal of Johnston the editor attempted to ridicule his movements. When the President relieved him of command, determined not to be pleased, he found fault with the President for his appointment of Hood as his successor. "Hardee had been overslaughed." But it turns out that Hardee had already refused to take command of the army. This made it necessary for Jomini — I mean the "military editor"--to change his plan of assault.

Whereupon he suggested that there was a proper man not far distant from Petersburg to whom the command should have been committed, and charged the President with being governed by "a malignant jealously unparalleled outside of the bottomless pit." In these constant changes of position the aforesaid editor violates one of the oldest maxims of the military art: He exposes his rear and flanks to assault. I am surprised that one who acts himself up as a teacher of the art, who aspires to instruct the President, and to point out to our Ge

On , I am no great admirer of " powers that be;" but, unlike the "military editor" aforesaid, I do find some things in the conduct of the President to approve of. Not so with the literary Jomini who prescribes campaigns and pronounces judgment upon military operations from his easy tripped at the foot of Capitol Hill. Nothing that the President or Cabinet can do pleases him. Whatever is good goes to the credit of somebody else; whatever is bad is charged to the account of "Jeff. Davis" or "Bragg."

[Communicated.]the Whig and "Appomattox" The "military editor" at the foot of Capital Square is mistaken — no unusual thing with him, however. I do not wield an editorial pen, do not belong to "the Administration kennel," hold no office the President, and desire none. On , I am no great admirer of " powers that be;" but, unlike the "military editor" aforesaid, I do find some things in the conduct of the President to approve of. Not so with the literary Jomini who prescribes campaigns anch it is aimed; it may, however, excite the contempt of intelligent men for those who employ it. I had hoped that the newspaper press, as well as the people of the South, would gain something valuable by the separation from the North. The course of the Whig, and some other papers not far from Richmond, does not afford much encouragement to this hope. For Heaven's sake, let the press be decent. Let it be governed by principle, not prejudice. Let it use argument, not abuse. Appomattox.

d about another see fight which is soon to come off on the French coast. Such an occurrence, however, is not at all probable; nevertheless our Ministers at Paris and London, on the strength of certain intelligence, more or less reliable, to the effect that the Florida, on hearing at Nassau that the Alabama had arrived at Cherbourg, was coming to join her, have ordered both the Kearsarge and the Niagara to sea to watch for her. The Niagara had just commenced taking in coal at Antwerp, and Capt Craven and some of his officers were at Brussels, preparing for a grand jollification at Mr. Sandfordes, on the Fourth, when the order came to go to sea. The coating operation was suspended, Mr. Sandford's dinner was deprived of a prominent part of its attraction, and the ship is now at sea. Capt Winslow and his officers also left Paris yesterday morning to join their ship, and to prepare at once to go to sea.

On that day Lieut Thornton, First Lieutenant of the Kearsarge, reported to Capt Winslow that a company of officers, who had descended from a steamer which came down from the direction o the officers forming the commission were: Capt Lefeure, Colonel of Artillery, Count Lancia; Marine Engineer, Senneville, and Rear-Admiral Baron Dideiot. Lieut Thornton laid down to these gentlemen the doctrine that rifled guns on board ship were not to be compared to the columbiads for usefulness; that however perfect might the latter was enabled to save her ammunition until she arrived in close quarters, and her work of destruction was easily and rapidly executed. Thus, when Lieutenant Thornton had exposed to the commission that the great desideratum was an enormous shell thrown in at close quarters, with just velocity enough to arrive inside the e

Semmes (search for this): article 5
r, dated july 5th. We copy a portion of it: La France, a paper which receives the inspirations of Mr. Slidell, says that on account of his shattered health Capt Semmes is soon going to the springs of Germany, and that his 1st Lieutenant has been recommended by the Captain to the Confederate Government to take his place on the om, but it is almost certain now that the two frigates which were built by M Arman have gone definitively into the hands of Prussia; so that if the successor of Capt Semmes does get a new vessel, it can only be in England. But there is great doubt as to the truth of the assertion of La France Notwithstanding the universal and active sympathy for Semmes in England, and notwithstanding the desire to help him or his successor to a new ship, the English people are growing more careful about violations of the neutrality laws, and it may well be doubted whether another vessel of any importance can be got out.
