g force of the enemy Do your readers know what force Gen. Johnston had? 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. Did he not use every exertion to rouse up Tennessee, and urge the people to make such preparations as would render Nashville impregnable? The writer knows that he did as far back as October last. The people of that State are a gallant race, the citizens of Nashville are as true and loyal to our Government as any in the South. 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.

Better troops than those who fought in the battle of Sunday last were never drawn up in line of battle. The testimony of Gen. Jackson is, that every man acted the hero. The loss on both sides is very heavy; our own from 300 to 400; that of the enemy estimated at from 1200 to 1500. Among the killed we have the names of Col. L. T. Moore, of Winchester, Thomas H.
