been permitted to go through tho heart of.

In view of the fact that Johnnon had been

if Johnson had remained in commaud.—
Fewer men might have been killed on either
side, and this is about all tbe .difference, in
the respective condit on of the two armies,
that would be exhibited.. They are both able
generals, each having great excellences and
marhed faults. Johnson has moio caution,
flood greater celerity of movement—Johnson
Is the grealer tactician. Hood tho fetter tight-
er—Johnson is hesitating, Hood i^ rash.—
They are both good officer?, but neither lias
those trancendentqualities that foakea Wash-
ington, a Lee or a Bonaparto. t
Though, time has perhaps demonstrated
that the removal of Johnson wsi unwise, no
one who has studied tho character of Presi-
dent Davis and scanned the motives by which
he has ever been actuated since1 the commence-
ment of this great revolution, can honestly
believe that It was a mere captious act on bis
rt. The most powerful minds will some-
times err in judgement. < Davis forms no ex-
ception to this rule, though as nearly as any
man of this age. - *v;

and fixedness of purpose—if otherwise he
would be uhsuited to tbo position he occupies

Of this, by restoring Gen. Johnson to his
command—Johnson exhfb'ts his greatness by
accepting it, and we believe Hood will cxw
hiblt his Wr cheerfully assuming any position
that may be signed him.
We are rejoiced at the reconciliation between
tho President and Gen. Johnson. It will im-
prove the tono of patriots, and, what is
scarcely less important, will remove Ono great
theme of complaint among croakers.
